I bought a ‘mystery’ grow kit…

I'm a beneficiary of psilocybin's life-altering healing affects, though I've yet to claw out of a calcified grief spiral.

I'd appreciate any help identifiying these mushrooms, and I'd be grateful for advice if there's a chance to mitigate issues. I've done to this to them with my inconsistency. >.>

what. strain. is this. is that bruising? have I ruined them? do I pick these asap?

Hey hey!

It's Psilocybe Cubensis, albino mutation, most likely Albino Penis Envy (APE). You can compare your shrooms with pics in the photo gallery here APE photos and check out more info on APE strain in this write up: Mutant strain Albino Penis Envy

The color of your mushrooms is absolutely normal. Albino shrooms may vary from absolutely white or beige cap, to dark blue or bruise-like signs.

The main issue is the shape. Most of your pins (undeveloped mushrooms) have blob-like mutation, which is pretty common issue for strains like this (more examples here Mutation). Typically there are a few main reasons: 1) genetics itself; 2) improper growing conditions, that triggered mutation; 3) or mix of both. Also I think the cake didn't have enough moisture and the air flow wasn't good.

However, such mushrooms are safe to take. So you can harvest all shrooms and blobs already, dry them and use. You can also rehydrate the cake in order to promote NEW flush. Sometimes the next flush may be better. But growing blobs are also fine for harvesting.

Hope this helps ;)
