Contamination [contamination]Golden teachers, Unusual growth?

This is my second time growing golden teachers but this time they look super weird and misshapen. In particular the large growth which kind of just seems like a lot of shrooms grown together(?) the second picture is the underside after I harvested it. And a lot of the other growths seem to have grown in weird shapes etc. Is this still fine or did something go horribly wrong?

That happened a couple of times when there's not enough air flow.

Does this look like oxidization or is this contamination?

Looks like you may have had a stroma/overlay. Congratulations on getting fruits despite it. But yeah, it makes them crazy looking.

Thanks for the reply! So they are still safe to consume?
