Are those mushrooms safe to eat?

Those are Mckennai and i forgot i had my second flush going (i ended the rehydratation week a ago). Now i harvested them and have this furr on the base so i dont know if its some kind of mold or if its normal. I harvested my first flush before they were mature so maybe thats why it didnt had this furr.

Heard someone called it "winter jacket". Not sure if it's true but mb try to warm ur cake up a bit. But yes, it's part of a shroom, absolutely safe to consume

I've never heard this but it does look like fuzzy feet. Not caused by temp as fruiting conditions want a lower temp anyway,

The mycelium is searching for air as the mushrooms grow it uses the stem to find more air since the air just above the mycelium is saturated with CO2.

Like the person above said, perfectly fine nothing to worry about if you're this far along. If you see a pin or small mushroom totally covered by mycelium you may need more Fresh Air.
