I am really pissed off. After 2 months, this is the results I get. Am i leaving the light on too much(16 hours a day. Am I not watering them enough, or are they ok and normal??

the black stuff is spores, I don't know about how much you're watering, but I'd say the top cake was ready to harvest about 6-12 hours ago, so pluck away the bottom cake, is ready for the single shroom to be plucked, and the others can wait till the veils tare on the mushrooms.

the reason they are turing black is because they are droping spores everywhere. next time if you dont want this then pick them when the cap opens and the veil breaks. i think you should pick those before they rot. the cake on the top right i would pick them all and the cake below it i would take the one on top off. good luck

I dunno... I thought spores right away, but check out the mush on the top cake at 5:30

It's just a overly mature mushroom. The cap will keep extending up as they get older.

Too late, yes they will deteriorate if you let them get too old.

in future pick a mushroom when the veil starts to tear. if you see spores everywhere and the edges of the cap are turned upwards then you waited too long.

PICK YOUR SHROOMS!!!!! don't let them rot. I don't understand how being under read is pissing you off. If you had properly read up on what to do, you would've picked some of those a while ago. This is a sign of being under read, which is nobody's fault but your own so there is no reason to get pissed. ITS NOT TOO LATE THOUGH! If you get those off the cake, so the cake still can survive without getting contaminated from the rotting mushrooms you'll have more flushes, which in turn means more mushrooms. Now you know you should pick them sooner after the veil breaks I personally wait until sometime between the veil breaking away and the cap flattening out. From the size of your shrooms, I wanna ask did you dunk? If not, I would recommend it. My first flush on my first cake was pitiful, I dunked after the first flush and I got mushrooms 3 times bigger than the first flushes. I also suggest some thorough reading from the mushroom cultivation archive, the myco directory and the FAQs. It'll help save you from future mistakes like this. You came to the right place for input, but I personally believe an answer to just about every question you could fathom pertinent to mushroom cultivation can be found with just a bit of reading. There is a lot of information here, which means you gotta sort through a lot to find what you want, however read the other stuff, it'll only better you as a cultivator.... Better cultivator means better shrooms...

The spots as others have stated are more than likely just spores. Now that you have picked the mushrooms I suggest doing a dunk It could really make a difference in the size of your mushrooms.
