Hard to tell from the pics but they look fine to me

Its just a mutant.There is a name for that certain mutation but its not coming to me atm.

is it safe to eat miss formed mushroom (predicted it is not contaminated, just mutated)?

and from what i read there is not safe to eat fresh mushrooms contamed with Verticillium, but you can eat dried ones...right?

---from what I hear, they always say that they are more potent...best of luck!

thx for all your help

hold my fingers crossed that it's mutated

Hello again

i must say i am in great doubts, shrooms are only 6 cm = 2 inches long and they have started to open their caps!!!

i think this isn't normal...right? for the strain mexican. i have some serious infection, and am wondering if they might harm me if i ate them fresh or dryed??

these ones (last two attachments) are from other subsrtate, the "mole" on the cap is getting bigger!!

This is the first flush you say? Honestly i dont see nothin wrong with eat'n em, even if they are only 2 inches tall. They probably just got the short end of the stick(so to speak) on genetics. They look healthy in all ohter aspects, other than they're small. Now as far as your mutant goes, i'd just give it time and see what it does. Just looks like they got some oddball genes.

Those are perfectly fine to eat.Some strains just produce small fruits.They look good man so quit worrying an give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
