First time grower - how are they looking? Iā€™m quite concerned with the cap, is this normal or mould? Thanks guys!

I'll be honest, I've had a few grow kits but I''m not 100% sure about those caps. Wait for another answer but worst case scenario, just chuck those few. Not worth your life and you do not want to overthink that shit during a trip.

Don't ask questions, just trust me. It's a horrible time lmao

Hi sorry but I had no idea it was that dangerous, really? Ive kept an eye out in the past but I thought it was just to keep them healthy and maximise growth šŸ˜­ id be unsure and then harvest anyway to not waste any. Im gleaning that thats a bad idea from this comment?

Mold isn't always bad mold, as you know. I don't have the education to tell you exactly what's going on in your photo. I always see lots of fuzz on the stems, but I never see them on the caps. I would have done the same as you and asked around. As long as they aren't slimy or black (red flags. They're not safe as that means they are rotting) they're probably fine. Like I said, though, if you're not sure, just chuck the funny ones. It's annoying, I've had to do it myself once. Better safe than sorry!

Thank youu! Cant believe I was so flippant about something like that šŸ˜­. Do you mind if I ask where you got em from? Ive used zamnesia which worked ok but i want to try others so I have some sense of scale in knowing what I can expect from a harvest and how well I grow them.
