The seedcapsul of myriostigma is opened by itself when seeds were matured. I can see the opened seedcapsule on your photo.
White "rootlike" thing is attached each seed but it is not root. Things will disappear when seeds were dried

Thank you very much Hanazono A bit fun to succeed with artificial pollination, I really didn’t expect anything to happen.Hanazono wrote: ↑Sat Aug 12, 2023 1:28 am G'morning Mrs. Green,

My first myriostigma flower just dried up and eventually fell off, with only the usual ‘scar’ after the flower left.

Re: Astrophytum seeds 30 days after flower
So after two weeks the seeds that were brown started to germinate and I had almost 50% germination rate. A few have died and they quite small.
The white seeds which totaled 40 total had 5% germination both germinated only after 3 weeks. IDK if they will survive or not but the immature white seeds did germinate just not very high success rate.
