1 Syringe, 2 Strains... Mutants???

I put my cakes into the fruiting chamber this week and I started to get what looks like two completely different shrooms from the same syringe. All of these cakes came from the same syringe, I didn't have any contaminated jars either. I am at a loss. Are these just edible mutants? These small gray ones have open caps from the minute they grow, and they sure dont look anything like cubensis.

Definitely a contaminant species. Don't eat the non-cubes. I'd get rid of them before they puke out any more spores into your house. RR

Damn, that's freakin weird! Haha... But at least it's a lot cooler than just normal mold. Congrats! I think you're first first one in here who cultivated these

Its possible, though its also possible the contamination came from elsewhere and it was able to outgrow the cube myc.
Just out of couriosity, anyone know what it is?

So your saying that both of these specie came from the same syringe? Hmmmm, this is wierd and cool at the same time.
I have never, in all of my years as a cultivator, seen two completely different specie come from the exact same source-even if this is considered a contam. I wouldn't throw them out just yet, but, I would definately isolate them from your other ones, just to be safe. I would try to get those others identified first just to see what specie they are-take a print.
That is cool.
But, like RR said sorta "Don't eat the non-cubes. I'd get rid of them before they puke out any more spores into your house."
Put them somewhere where they wont throw spores everywhere until you find out more about them, then, if they are worthless-Toss'em out.
Hell, they may be a mutant strain of cubes(I doubt it), but given the circumstances in your case-it could be possible. I have pics of some strains that I worked with that do not(at all) look like cubes, but, they are.
You can do what you want-tis better to be safe than sorry. I would look into this though.

I've had this happen to me before too and the unknown species that grew looked very similar to yours. May I inquire where you got the spores from? When this happened to me, my spores came from a non-shroomery sponsor.
*edit* the non-sponsor was STP and I did eat them with no ill effects. Yes, I know I was dumb to order from STP and to eat unknowns but I was young and naive.
