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.

those are tiny penis's, any penis's i've grown have been tan colored caps, and up to five times that size.
yours will still be plenty potent!
if you're casing, a pMp setup like yours isn't necessary. That's for cakes.
your penis's show a sure sign of being to moist..
nothing like stinky moist basement crotch!

When I picked one it did feel damp almost slimey. Should I make bigger holes to reduce the RH?

The crushed oyster shells in your casing isnt really going to help much. It wont have enough time to activate.. next time use powdered oyster shells and/or maybe some hydrated lime.

Phdhater, try putting one hole on each side..about a 1/2 inch hole on the long sides, but put them lower (about a 1/4 inch from the top of your stones.) That should help airflow alot, as the Co2 builds up it will flow out of the holes at the bottom and pull in fresh air from the ones up higher.
Keep an eye on them though to make sure it's not TO MUCH air, I'm pretty sure it'd be fine though. just better to be on the safe side.
Again, I'm not 100% though as I have never used this type of set up before. works for mono tubs though so I think it would work for you. Anyone else think this would work?

The picked mushrooms look fine, nothing to worry about there. Also I don't think anyone has stated, aborts are normally more potent, I'm not sure how much so, I normally just throw them in with the rest, so keep that in mind when dosing.

just my 2 cents but as i am tripping these babies now  I dont think i want to grow anything else anymore and yes aborts are more potent gram for gram but only slightly

Ok so after some looking at my PMP it is not getting nearly as many air bubble as it used to so I replaced my air pump and added 3 more 1/2" holes with poly. Now I can notice a dramatic difference in the air coming out of the PMP. I am confident I am getting much more FAE now so we'll see if that was my problem. I picked all the ones with dark caps and a few of the lighter ones that didn't look so good. so now I have about 20 nice looking bigger ones left so we'll see what they do. I sliced open a dark one and a light one and did a comparison, the lighter ones looked muck better and were also much denser/firmer. Light cap on the left, dark cap on the right.

** I just have one last question, after the first flush should I consider taking this out of the tray and dunking and then just putting back in my PMP upsidedown as a giant cake or should I just mist the casing layer and leave it alone? Or should I just leave it alone all together because it's in a PMP?
*** Thank You very much to everyone who replied, I really appreciate it!!!!

so i picked all the shrooms off and did a cold soak for 12 or so hours and then put them back in the PMP. One has a massive amount of pins and just to see what would happen I put the other one in upside down and as of yet it had nothing going on. The under side of both were kind of yellowish, is that normal? Is that mushroom waste?

Pretty big aborts though, so they will probably "work" pretty nice.
