 White Build up out of cap?

I am moving into my second flush...Well, one and half (One of my cakes wen't apeshit and was ready to harvest in less than a week after birthing, and another one following after.)
I am concerned about a couple of my specimen which have developed like this...Solid white froth from the head (One has it going up the stem and through the mushroom!)
They don't stink, but I am concerned, and wondering if it may be bacteria?
I did a search, but none of what I looked at seemed to apply to my particular concern, though I apologize and would be happy for redirection.
Also...If you leave a couple of fully grown mushrooms inside the chamber with others quickly developing, is it normal for for all the mushrooms to darken from spores? (They don't look or smell rotten, they just quite a few of them seem to have a dark coating of spore the same color that was over my growing light which was right underneath the mature ones.)
Thankyou for your time!

Spore will make a mess, yes.
As for the froth- it's not mycelium, is it? Pics would help.

that white fuzziness is most likely mycelium.

Geh, I won't be able to get pictures until later this week when I have my camera back.
Do you think you could point me to an example of what a mycelium coated mushroom would look like?
(And is it safe to eat said mycelium coated mushroom?)
If you could just give me the name of what exactly to look for, that would be great!

If it's fluffy or fuzzy, and pure white, and looks like the mycelium growing on your cakes, then it's ok. If it doesn't look like that, then it probably is trouble. Isolate and take pics if it's not pure white.
There's some on one of the mushrooms on the right of this pic:

and sometimes a little junk of the mycelium on the top of one of your caps can decide to fruit too...resulting in my avatar, lol...

i believe it can be a sign of too high humidity? if you are casing you might want to look into that..

no doubt it's from having wet caps / high-humidity but since he's talking about cakes - which need to be kept near 95-99% RH - it's hard to have too much.

Oh! Well if it can come from wet-caps, then it certainly is. I spray the cakes including whatever mushrooms are growing out of them every morning. And the picture and example does match with what I am seeing.
Thank you all very much.
