First mushrooms, look normal???

This is my first time growing mushrooms. 2 1/2 pint jars cased with vermiculite and peat moss, I believe the strain is B+ but could have been mixed up. Temperatures have been remaining between 70 and 74 with humidity in the 80-85 range inside a martha with just an ultrasonic. They look weird to me and my friend but then again this is our first time so we aren't sure. What's your opinion???

I can't tell you what kind of mushrooms those are, but I do know they are not cubensis or any other kind of psychedelic mushroom I am aware of. Don't eat any of those until you get an ID on them.
They kinda sorta resemble oyster mushrooms to me from the funnel shape but I haven't really seen then growing like that before.
Of course that could be some kind of mutation I guess. Just never seen ANYTHING that looked like that.

It seems like to me there are probably just more trying to grow than you have the nutrients to support. 2 half pint jars isn't very much, and you have alot of little shrooms. They do look really weird.

Those do not look like B+ or any cubensis I've ever seen...B+ should look at least something like this:

What makes you guys think they are not cubensis? I can see they are pretty messed up looking, but they look more like a poor grow to me than anything. I've had mushrooms that were completely flat little tunnels like that. It has been a long time, but I still think they are just cubensis with an inadequate amount of substrate. He said he used 2 half pints, thats a loaf pan with the casing layer it only comes up about half way, there's got to be only 3/4" of substrate or so. They look fucked up but the younger ones have red tops, and the more mature ones are very light with a dark spot in the middle.

I doubt those are cubensis. But how can a vendor be so bad as to mislabel a cubensis syringe with oysters???? Oyster syringes are sent as culture syringes, not spores. I could understand mislabeling substrains, but entirely different species/medium?

looks like oysters to me too... if it was just a mutant then there would be variations throughout the casing but it seems to be pretty consistent (i bet if he updates it's gonna be much clearer)
that's pretty disapointing  but still if they're oysters at least the'd make a nice meal 
if you ordered cubensis and got that you should defenetly send them an email asking for compensation! if they're a good buisness i bet you'll even get extra as an apolegy!
good luck on your next try

I really doubt they are oyster mushrooms. They look like they could be Psilocybe. See if they turn blue when you bruise them. That would be a sure sign that you have Psillys. Perhaps they just need a little fresh air and light to form normally. Set them near a window with a humidifier on. You could also put them in a cardboard box with a few holes to breath and a clear plastic lid for light. The next flush should look better. Keep experimenting and you will find a way to help them to grow. You are well on the way. Good luck. I like to put them outside on a thick bed of fresh chopped soaked wheat straw. Mulch the top with more straw. The straw mulch helps keep the humidity high. Keep them misted and they will grow into the straw and the dirt below. The temps outside have to be over 65 degrees at night.

:sigh: ANYthing that looks like that is NOT a cubensis mushroom. There have been a few cases of mislabeled syringes, rahz had a cubie grow produce mushrooms that were not cubensis (nor any "normal" edible).
a.) Do not expect to trip if you eat these mushrooms b.) Contact the vendor with an explanation and request for a replacement syringe c.) Start again.
Im sorry, but you are not cultivating cubensis right now.

BTW this is false. Bluing is ONE indicator of active alkaloids. There are several species that bruise blue that are inactive/inedible.

Coda Have you ever heard of "Occams Razor"? Yes there are other mushrooms that do bruise blue but not any cultivars. Boletus satanus and B appendiculatus also bruise blue but these are mycorhizzal mushrooms and are not cultivated. If you know of any other cultivars that bruise blue then please enlighten me. The bluing reaction is a SURE sign that you have Psillys. Let me know if they bruise blue. Then there is no doubt that you have the kind.

Your saying that its more likely that the mushrooms grew all uniformly deformed/genetically modified then the vendor simply mislabeling a syringe? I don't follow that "logic"

What I am saying is that the mushrooms are probably Psilocybe and the reason that they look weird is because of environmental factors such as too high humidity or lack of fresh air. Any mushroom grown under adverse conditions can look dramatically different from what is considered normal. For example compare enoki mushrooms compared to Flamulina velutipes grown in the wild.

Ive grown B+ right and Ive grown B+ wrong. Ive grown B+ with too little humidity, Ive grown B+ with too much humidity. Ive even grown B+ that were deformed due to Lysol exposure. NONE OF THEM LOOKED ANYTHING LIKE THOSE IN QUESTION HERE.
According to "Occam's Razor" the simplest explanation is the the vendor mislabeled a syringe.

Even a 1/2 inch substrate layer would not create mushrooms like this. Yes, they'd more than likely be short and skinny, but they would still look a lot more like cubensis than these do.
I agree that you should definitely not eat these, and contact the vendor

But coupled with poor enviornmental conditions? Maybe mrPiggy can tell us what happened to his other cakes? I still think they are cubensis. It would be nice if someone had a good explaination about why they would not be cubensis aside from "cubensis don't look like that" They can get pretty messed up when grown poorly. Is there anyone here who can positively identify them as any other species and give an explanation about why they are that species and not a poorly grown cube?

The simple explanation would be adverse environmental conditions. They look much closer to Psilocybe than Pleurotus. Both grow cespitose like those in the photo. I will wait for MrPiggy to let us know if they bruise blue or not. I bet they do.

They kinda look like oysters, but i grew "gods flesh" one time that looked similar, but bigger, and more golden/yellow. those were some weird shrooms, and i kinda dont think that this is the case. environmental you say???? hell no, unless they were grown on the moon or something. (i guess i could be wrong, but i have NEVER seen mutation THAT bad.) i'm very curious about how they bruise....hmmmm
Now that i think about it a little more they kinda' look like mini malabars, or maybe itty bitty pearl oysters.
