Aborts on a cluster of mushrooms?

Maybe I'm miscategorizing these as aborts, but I seem to have small grey/black headed aborts on a cluster of mushrooms that has all different sizes of mushrooms (basically the little mushrooms are attacheded to the big mushroom's base) Am I supposed to pick out the little black heads? Or should I just leave them?
Thanks guys

I would cut them out, otherwise you risk rot.

they wont rot. you can leave the aborth there and pick the whole cluster as it matures, if you have 1 or more mushroom that matures and need to pick before it drops spores carefull cut it off.
i have never experienced an abort rotting that has been left on a cake.

Leave them alone until you harvest the whole cluster, dry, & eat. You don't need to do anything special for aborts at all. Just try to minimize them by reading & studying other successful growers. I think most people get them, though. I've had grows with more, and less.
Right now I'm having my most successful grow ever, and it looks like I'll have a percentage of aborts.

This happened to me on my first flush of cakes recently. I didn't do anything but remove it after I harvested the entire cluster.

Leave them until you harvest the rest. Aborts won't rot in the time it takes the flush to finish. RR

I'm not sure if you mean you removed it at the same time as the cluster, or you picked the cluster then removed and discarded the abort.
No need to discard aborts- they're as good to eat as any, and supposedly more potent gram for gram.
