why do the caps of my shrooms be like that..?

they seem to be dried up. but some seem to be doing well. i am unsure why some caps of the developing fruits seem to almost stop growing.

Psyched about up coming harvest of ps. ocraceocentrata. i want tips on consumption, set & setting. and general pointers from pros or newbies. as a newbie.

within the coming week, i will be harvesting a very rough estimate of... ~400 wet grams. i will be wanting to microdose with this for a while as a suppliment and or substitute for my adhd medication and my depression medication.
with this being said i just want to occasionally trip. or mabye often, i cant say without having tens or hundreds of grams easily accessible.
besides that. just give me pointers. be they specific to cubes, nats, or ochras. i want to know what the general sensus for this specific strain is. how to approach it. and what makes it unique among all other strains. next to its tendancy to vigorously consume medium and resist contamination.

what i want to do: is to consume it through hand squeezed orange juice. or mabye infuse coconut oil with the mushrooms as a powder. so that my brain may more readily uptake the oil, and by hapenstance, the psilocyn. a theory i have come up with based on the information that the human brain uptakes fats & oils, specifically coconut oil, much more readily than other fats or foods.
And before that, i would like to smoke some thc. i have a good connection with the herb and i feel that it may help ease me into the unfamilier feeling of tripping shit.
However, weed has a chance to make me anxious. exhasterbating the anxiety that comes with tripping.
I just have a lot of thoughts and experiments that i would love to try with my quite possibly monumentous stash of shroomies after the harvest in question.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my incoherent thought processes!
and thank you for your response. im glad to be part of this community!

Amateur mycologist here! Ps. Ochraceocentrata. Fruit stage questions

i did a spawn to bulk with 32oz multi grain jars into 1:3 ratio of CVG substrate. my concern comes from FAE. the walls of the tub are relative tall, without any holes. so how does passive FAE work in this enviroment? or what can i do to improve enviromental consistancy?
I have questions regarding the ryhzomorphic growth, is it pins? or is it something else.
I have a BNLINK heat mat set to ~82F. so that the larger tub and its air buffer may warm up to ~ 75F.

TLDR: I want to improve on enviromental consistancy given my limited tools.
Alongside eviroment concerns. i want to know what this growth pattern of mycelium represents? and if it is okay in its current state.
