Does my penis look ok? (PICS)

This is my first time with PE and I was just curious what everyone thinks? Should I be concerned that the caps are two different colors? Some seem darker than the others? ALSO should I be concerned that some of them are growing sideways and not straight up? Any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

sub was: verm, h-poo, worm castings, used coffee, WBS, and coir. Casing was: plain old verm with some crushed oyster shells.

thats a wild mix for the substrate, sounds like a little bit of everything, have you noticed strong results with that mix?

Penis envy tend to be darker than most though don't they? They look fine to me, and no there's nothing wrong with them being different colors, though usually the darker ones are likely to abort. If you have lots of aborts you might want to lower you're humidity.

Sometimes the mushrooms will abort. This is when they don't fully develop, they are usually very small in comparison to the rest and the caps turn very dark,as yours are (though this could just be the strain, I'm not sure). Aborts are normally caused by too much moisture in the air. If you are misting them try to do so as to not get drops of water sitting on top of the mushrooms.

they seem pretty big to be aborts. have they always been that dark color or did they recently turn that dark color, one way to tell if they are aborts is to just wait and see if they grow any bigger, if they stop growing you have your answer

They have always been the colors they are now. It's hard to judge size from that picture but the biggest ones are 3"-4" right now.

The ones with the dark caps look like aborts. If they've stopped growing, pick them. Lack of air exchange, or misting and leaving wet in a sealed terrarium will cause aborts. I don't see any holes in your terrarium, so air exchange could well be a problem. RR

Thank you. I have 2 3/4" holes with poly in them and 2 bubble wands hooked up to an aquarium air pump under the geolite. Should I make the holes bigger?

Also I decided to pick one of the dark cap ones and check it out closer.

It smelled fine but felt kinda spongey. I broke it open and it didn't look how I thought it should (but this is my first PE grow so I don't really know), I thought it should be solid and firm but it looked like this.....

I found a PE thread by MonsterMitch and his looked alot more solid than mine do....

How many liters of air per hour does the air pump kick out? If you are using an air pump (as I am), my understanding is that you don't need holes in your FC, as the air pump supplies a constant exchange of air. Unless your FC is absolutely air tight, the air from the air pump will be able to escape through the gap around the lid with no problem.
Penis Envy rocks, by the way. I'll have my second trip tonight with the stuff, but the first was very, very different. Very smooth vibe that left me wanting more, more, more.
Happy Tripping!

It looks like it's blueing up pretty good at the damaged spots though, so that makes me a little happier.

of course it will bruise blue.
but the cap on that is super dark, i'm sure you would have noticed those not growing with the rest of em in a couple days or so. I would also advise upping your air exchange. Do you manually fan your FC at all?
All the PE i've done has always had tan colored caps, the aborts turn black.
