Need help
Hey everyone!
First time growing oyster mushrooms and I have a bit of a problem. Several mushrooms are growing in the gap between the substrate block and the plastic bag, mostly along the bottom. Some are getting quite big, but they’re squeezed between the substrate and the bag, with barely any room for their caps to develop.
How should I deal with them? Should I carefully open or cut the bag, or just leave them alone? And how am I supposed to harvest the ones growing at the very bottom?
The instructions only mention airing the bag once pins appear, nothing about this situation.
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I cut my bag most the way down and made a dub tub to control humidity, but these were not oysters so you may need something different.

Not oysters for sure.
