Fuzzy stems and caps are fine. But could you please tell more about the substrate you used? What does it consist of? And why is the top layer so wet and slimy? What species/strain do you grow?

well its a bit of an experiment im running with ps cubensis i found the mycelium of growing naturally on some cow dung ive had two successful fruit cycles from it now so the substrate is a cow pat and species is ps cubensis

as for the wet slimey look to the substrate that would be because i had just misted the shotgun terrarium and had accidentally over watered

Okay, got cha! Yes, the top layer is VERY wet. Keep an eye, as your mushrooms are now prone to bacterial diseases. Brown stems with wet/dry rot may appear. And they need more FAE!
