Why are my shrooms growing like this??

I bought a growkit of cubensis shrooms, and the picture on the box really doesn't match with what's growing, looks like an equadorian shroom (I'm a newb so I probably am wrong :p). On top of that, one corner is growing more, and there is one HUGE shroom growing but I don't quite know when I should cut it, look at the pic it's pretty big compared to my hand. First time grow, so I probably went wrong because I'm waiting for the veil to tear from the stem but this big one looks just like the smaller ones... I'm scared it's using up all the nutrients and that my growkit won't be able to grow more after... Please help!

Shroom power 4ever, eh? What are you, 12, 13? On second thought, don't answer that, as far as we're concerned, you're at least 18 when you're at the Shroomery.
BTW, Ecuadorian is a type of cubensis, and they all look relatively similar, especially to the untrained eye. You've already cultivated the shroom goob, and its doing fine, no worry about it using up too much of you nutes. Be happy that you have a monster growing, and good luck on your grow. Welcome to the Shroomery!

Nah I'm turning 19 this year, no worries about that... It's just that I'm really excited about growing them, that's why I probably sound like a kid... Ever had something which made you behave just like a 12yr old before? Well, that's what shroom growing is doing to me . I could write you up a document of some type, and the syntax and words I use would show you that I'm not 12 or 13.
So please excuse me if I'm sounding immature, but I've fallen in love with the art of growing them .

i welcome you as well.
be sure to take prints of these so you can continue your "experiments". i'm sure you can follow a syringe tek and not need to buy anything but the neccessary growing supplies and learn how to do it from scratch... it's cheaper that way. if you get some good prints, you can even trade a few in the marketplace for some others... that's how i get my other strains. GL and welcome to the community.

The whole study of mushrooms is amazing, walking outside and spotting fungus, and identifiing it, or just growing at home has been very informative, a new hobby for the years to come, I hope.
