Those look contaminated, possibly cobweb.

Not enough FAE.

Casing layer not pasturised?? not familiar with these kits though.

Look through the cultivation teks and make your own.

It looks like Geotrichum. Toss it out.

Did a kit maker actually have you put a tray of substrate into a sealed bag with water in the bottom? If so, they ripped you. That is not a growing method.

Actually these are the instructions from the kit...

Stropharia Cubensis Magic Mushroom Growing Kit Instructions


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To order the fool-proof and satisfaction guaranteed magic mushroom grow kit, go here 1501 .

Grow Kit Manual
(0)
When the kit arrives, take action immediately. Do not store the kit for more than a few days. If you really have to wait, store the kit in the fridge, not in the freezer.
(1)
Open the package carefully, don't use a knife, you could ruin the plastic bag. Do not touch the white air-filter at the side of the bag, to avoid contamination.
(2)
Take the tape of the container, take the lid off and place the grow kit inside the plastic bag so that the open end of the bag is up.
(3)
Spray the kit until the top soil is slightly moist; do, at this time, not poor water directly into the kit. Note! Only spray water onto the kit when there is no growth visible yet.
(4)
Close the plastic bag by folding the top two inches down, and use two paperclips to keep it there.
(5)
Place kit and plastic bag in a place out of any direct sunlight, but not in the dark. Near a radiator will do fine if you don't live in (sub-) tropical areas.
(6)
Optimal temperature between 20 and 23 degrees Celsius, 68 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit, but don't worry if the temperature is not steady all the time, the kit won't be harmed by a lower temperature at night. Don't place it too close to a radiator, temperatures over 35 degrees (95 F.) are harmful. Higher, natural air-temperatures in tropical areas are no problem.
(7)
Turn the kit around every day or two, so that the other side of the kit now faces the radiator. This will result in a more gradually grown flush.
(8)
After a few days you will see white mycelium spreading over the top soil; out of this the mushrooms will grow. Do not open the bag until the first mushrooms are 1.5 centimetres (half an inch). As soon as they reach half an inch, slightly open the bag and leave it open for an hour and a half, to give it some fresh air.
(9)
After a few more days the mushrooms will come up. Harvest the first flush completely just before the largest ones open their caps. Take the smaller ones out too, it's better to not interfere with the kit too often, wait until there's another full-grown flush with harvesting again. Leave the ones smaller than half an inch. As soon as they really start growing check every day, they grow very fast. Remember to twist the Shrooms out, don't rip or cut, this is best for the soil. If the stem of the Shrooms turns brownish, there's too much moisture in the bag, so open it up for 1.5 to 2 hours, to let some out. As soon as you see that the soil has shrunk so that it at places does not touch the container anymore, poor some water into the kit. Slightly squeeze the container at one side so that there's an opening through which you can poor water to the bottom of the kit. Don't poor it on top of the soil.
(10)
If circumstances are optimal you can reap 175 - 250 grams of fresh mushrooms (17 - 25 grams dry) from a single kit in three or more flushes.
(11)
It will take one to three weeks before you can harvest your first flush, one week later the second, and another week after that possibly the third. Don't give up too easily; it happens that after a month more Shrooms will still come up. As soon as the mycelium starts turning green or purplelish (this is an infection with bad types of fungi) do not open the bag again but throw it away.
(12)
ENJOY!
