Hey guys. So a problem occurred in a mushies bag - looks like they got moldy. Is there a way to save them? Never had this before... Bassplayer attached the following image(s):  IMG_20190729_041631.jpg (3,464kb) downloaded 67 time(s). IMG_20190729_041614.jpg (2,518kb) downloaded 64 time(s).

i think you have dactylium mold on your fruit i'm not an expert but in shroomery forum someone say that his Mycelium has these molds and he spay Hydrogen peroxide on it and the mold vanished. i tested too on my mycelium with no success i think i did it to late. hope your fruit survive from this situation “I understood myself only after I destroyed myself. And only in the process of fixing myself, did I know who I really was.”

That's not cobweb mold.
I'm not entirely sure what it is. But as far as I can tell it looks like cubensis mycelium. Which tends to happen when your fruiting chamber has inadequate air exchange- it will revert to vegetative growth. You see it a lot at the base"fuzzy feet", not so often on the caps. You also have tiny little caps and long stretched stems. These are also signs of a suffocating culture. Poke holes in your bag, make sure it's not tight around the substrate. That should help.
Also, coincidentally that would be the same thing you do to stop cobweb from growing- air. Go ahead and spray it with peroxide if you're nervous, it will hurt(not kill) your mushrooms though
Good luck

Yeah I basically agree with everything you said. I wouldn't spray Hydrogen peroxide. In my opinion Hydrogen peroxide doesn't belong in mycology. It's definitely not cobweb... those mushrooms are fine to eat...

I concur, it looks identical to mycelium. Never seen it come out of the caps though! Increase FAE, even change ur grow room to a smaller room like closet or bathroom and buy a cheap pond humidifier and a fan from ebay to humdiifer to room around it to 80% or so you can crack a lid. Perhaps your polyfil is too tight. Hydrogen peroxide has never worked for me, if it has cobweb, it goes outside to fruit in a humidity dome.
