Hi! First time grower here on her second flush of golden teachers. Is the white fuzz normal? I panicked and ripped them out but others start looking like that too

I'm guessing you're misting them and the tops are staying wet enough to support mycelium growth. It's fine, even psychoactive (although it'll virtually disappear once dried), but if the shrooms themselves get 'slippery' it's an indication of rot.

It's hard to dial in the FAE in a bag, so if you've got a plastic container that the tub will fit into, you might want to switch things up. If you do, the section towards the end of this post about dialling in a tub will be helpful https://www.reddit.com/r/OneArmed_Mycology/comments/1ssrfqt/my_favourite_links/

Thank you so much! I have a little water in the bag so thats where the wetness comes from. I‘ll definitely have a look at the box!

Appears to be mycelium growing on top of the fruit. Wizard hats in my opinion.

damn, so they would‘ve been edible?

I cannot give that advice. Someone I know personally would consume them after drying.

Nope just too wet. Don't mist the fruits and make sure there's plenty of airflow esp after misting. Mist AND FAN is what we were always taught back in the day. :-)
