What is going on in my tub? Mushrooms exploding at top, extremely small caps. Melmac Monster

Hello everyone! first time grower here. Really weird stuff is happening in my tubs. My mushrooms are completely ripping apart at the top. Most of them have extremely small caps and some have a weird color. These are Melmac Monster from Zamnesia.
I searched for stuff like that on the forum but didn't find anything like it. Do you know what could cause this weird behaviour? Is this contam or maybe just mutation?
I already harvested and dehydrated a few of them. (Pictures 4 and 5) Do you think they are edible?
Really appreciate your help!



I harvested a few of the bigger ones.

And dried them.

Hmm, I wasn't sure what to do, so I just picked everything that looked even slightly suspicious and threw it away. Expect for the really big ones. I will dehydrate them and decide what to do with them in the future. ^^"
I hope maybe to get a few good ones with the rest. Some of them look promising, I think.

I thought maybe to grind them down and put them in capsules. Do you think thats a bit safer or should I just throw them away?

boiling into tea rather than eating is safer from a harm reduction perspective when dealing with suspect fruits. long term storage by freezing *the tea* into ice cubes. *edit

Wouldn't you consider crystallization an issue in freezing shrooms?

I think he referred to the tea, when suggesting to freeze it.

Freezing tea is not the same as freezing mushrooms.
Tea freezes just fine.

Oops, I misunderstood. Also didn't know freezing tea is fine either, though! Learn something new every day.

My favourite method, boiling them fresh for tea. Perfect distributed potency and some money saved for the dehydrator not always running 
I once freezed them fresh a long time ago, and man i tell you after unfreezing, that stuff looked like a fresh pile of doberman puke. Had a hard time to get it down, can´t recommend

Holy sheep shit, freezing and thawing anything that is full of water, like mushrooms or cacti pieces, is gross, the water freezes and expands the cell walls, which makes alkaloids easier to extract but makes an absolute doberman puke of a mess 🤣

Yeah man  It was just for science, i wanted to see it. I didn´t think it would make such a mess, but it did. Potency was on point though
