Brother has my camera. They are Hillbilly,and the puffs look just like the base of a nice shroom except nothing is coming out of them except a few where there is a real small shroom trying to come through.

LOL click the yellow work overlay, LOL can you eat those, hmmmmmmm I doubt it, unless they bruised nice and blue when you picked them then with them just being mycelium I doubt u would get off, you need to provide casings with ALOT of FAE, like 5 to 6 times a day and you want make like 85% humidity for a casing anything more and you get co2 buildup and high humidity and that causes overlay.

Those myc balls can be easily identified. When you harvest them, you'll be able to tell by pulling them apart that they are a large mass of rhizo growth.

They weigh a pittance when dried, but they do have some magic and can be eaten.
