Outdoor flower pot shrooms - UPDATE: Indoor surprise

I had a couple of casings contaminate so I put all the mycelium in to flower pots, threw on some peat as a casing layer and chucked em on the balcony. Its been very hot here (35 degress C on average) and very low humidity so keeping them moist has been a bitch - it also blows a gail here so all that combined makes things dry out VERY quckly. I still got a few popping up though -

Today I was moving one of the pots and I found this -

Thanks, i remember going away on vacation last summer after just harvesting a small BRF casing. I said fuck it, might as well let em grow while im gone. So i put the casing back in my fc, left the lids cracked at the corners, stuck the FC underneath a ceiling fan, and when i came back i had a nice flush that had just reached maturity. The casing was all dried out, but it produced a great flush with no work at all

Those are really hardy looking. Almost look like the texture is rougher... but that's probably just because of that drying breeze and the cracked appearance of the caps. Do they feel any more meaty than normal? I wonder if the semiharsh conditions will effect alkaloid content at all. Either way, that's pretty cool to see. Thanks for showin us.

Dude, just say "I've been trying to grow some pretty flowers, but all I can seem to grow is this damn fungus!" lol.. that's so brilliant it'd have to work. Oh! or better yet, go get some realistic fake flowers, and like put it right in the middle of the pot. Then if anyone asks, claim that the flower and the mushrooms have a mutually beneficial relationship.

The picture with the mushrooms comming out of the bottom of the pot is awsome ! At first I thought you picked some mushrooms and layed them out there to take a picture, I didnt realize they were actually growing there!

They feel VERY meaty - they dried like little pebbles - rock solid and with a heaps of weight to them. They were also going extremely blue where I cleaned them off - almost black, so I expect they'll be strong little suckers - I just hope they are safe to eat.

i noticed that my outdoor fruits were much hardier, thicker, and more narled in appearence. the potency was not effected in any noticable way.

Thats awesome Otto. Today I harvested 2 casings that were in aluminum foil trays and there was like 2 or 3 shrooms growing out of each hole in the bottom of foil.
Mushrooms are fucking WEIRD.

No smells at all - Im sure they are fine - just a bit paranoid of late - I developed a patch of green mould on the casing layers of two of the pots shortly after I hravested them.

Update: Here is a pic of another of the small pots throwing off a couple -

And the bigger flower pot -

Here is what the contamination growing on the surface of the casing layer looks like -
