Brown on the base of a mushroom with a strange lump on the cap

Hi there. I have come across a mushroom with a strange formation on the cap. I discovered upon harvest that it has some brown spotting/marks at the base. It's buddies on the same cake (pf tek PESA Hawaiian strain) all aborted and had the same brown marks. The cake itself is fine and white and smells healthy and mushroomy. Is this just mutation or is it more sinister? A viral infection perhaps. If so is it still safe to eat?

I have started the drying process so that's why it looks a bit dry. Humidity in the shot-gun fruiting chamber is 90%.

looks like your mushroom has genital warts.

I knew I should've used a condom.
Oh yeah, it's a first flush as well.

Looks like just a mutation. I wouldn't think twice about it.

So the brown spotting at the base can't be a contamination.

It's fine. The brown is normal, and the growth at the top is fairly common as well. RR
