Mutants

When mushrooms are flushing.. and you have a few mutants on there, they always seem to grow the fastest.
Do these mushrooms stunt the growth of all the other mushrooms on the casings? Should they be picked?
Also, some of the stems of the mushrooms are browning. No bruising, just turning a darker brown. Is this normal?
I'm probably being paranoid, but this is my first casing attempt and I have an impressive pinset but they aren't growing as fast as I thought. Just a little worried.

I treat my mutants like any other mushroom. Other than the fact that they came out fucked up doesnt mean that they aren't as special.
As for the brown I dunno man, post a pic maybe. But if it looks like nothing to worry about then you probably shouldn't but a picture helps a lot. GL

Aight, I'll try to get a pic up as soon as possible.
Well the mutant shrooms seriously went from about 2cm to 4in in about 2 days and all the normal looking shrooms only grew about an inch.
Just seems like the mutants hog all the love and attention. Perhaps they interfere with the rest of the pack and should be expunged?

I'd clone that bastard and start a super-fast-growing-mutant-clone army. Mmmwwwaaahaahaa... "My buddies always fight over the freaks."

Aight check these pics out.
Friday night.

Satuday night.

Monday afternoon.

From a different angle.

That was one casing. Here is another.
Friday night.

Saturday night.

Monday afternoon.

As you can tell, I picked the weird mushrooms in the top left corner and ate them. Mmm good.
Is this normal growth? I'm a little worried that most of those will abort. What can I do?

you really dont have any clue about what you're talking about do you? Disinfectant is disinfectant, compare the ingriedients on the can of your dollar store brand to lysol. They'll be the same things, however, you're not paying an extra 7 dollars for the advertising that lysol uses.
ANY PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCT CAN CAUSE MUTATIONS IN YOUR GROW.

The casing is about 5-10% coir, and the rest vermiculite.
Will these mushrooms abort and all stay stunted or do you think they will finish growing to maturity?

I personally think the casings look freaking nice, how thick is the whole casing/substract?
