First Casing and Mutant Mushrooms

Ok, so afoaf did his first casing. Looks good for th emost part, see pics. However, there have been some odd mutant mushrooms growing in it, and some odd clumps of mushroom matter (like a stem) that never seem to grow caps. Take a look at the photos and tell me what you think. Should afoaf be concerned?
Afoaf may have unintentially let two different types of shrooms into the casing, jars may have gotten mixed accidentally. Could this be the cause of the mutant shrooms, or is it a contamination of some kind?

Did you sterilize surfaces with Lysol or a bleach solution? Both of those can create strange mutations in fruitbodies.

That guy in the back is just a Monk mushroom...he's there to oversee and direct the other shrooms how to grow up properly.

Yeah, he isn't the only weird one that has grown. I picked a few, that were even bigger & weirder. Giant mushroom blobs.
In terms of sterilization, I sprayed lysol in the area, but I wiped the pan out with alcohol. Some lysol may have gotten on the pan, but not a lot.
Any special instructions I should follow for harvest? I've read conflicting things on whether I should use fresh casing after harvest.

Could be caused with contact with something like bleach, but is probably just a fucked phenotype.

I actually just picked some fruits that looked VERY similar
I had a monotub that got contaminated, so I put it to the side to clean it, kinda got lazy, 3-4 days pass, I check it and mushrooms have sprouted!!! they looked a lot like yours, even a couple of fat funny looking ones like the one you have
I think it was either low FAE or no humidity Maybe even too high temp caused this cause I placed the contam tub in a hotter then usual place
hope this helps

Here are some more recent pics, right before harvest:
After I harvested, I dunked the casing in cold Ozarka water overnight. I recased it with some fresh verm on the bottom, and covered it with foil.

Do you have a light source for them to grow towards? That would resolve the limping growth.
Those little bears freaked me out, lol.

They're bent over like that because the lid fits too tightly on the top. They hit the top, then they fall over. They sit under a window, so they have natural light as their light source. They're also Penis Envy strain, and those are always kind of heavy. I've never seen them hold themselves up terribly well. Pics on the Hawkes Eye show similar results.

ROFL! I have one of these guys, but he's a two-headed beast.
