Mushrooms darkening and dying...

About 2 weeks ago I started fruiting my cakes in a tupperware chamber, humidified by perlite. I recently noticed many pins forming and all was well. Now today when I looked, the mushies seem to be about the same size with one difference...they are turning a blue bruised color, then to black and finally death. At first I thought it was aborts that were trying to rot, but now many are doing this and I'm afraid of contam. I don't want to overreact and throw them out but I'm not sure if I should just toss them and start over. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Sigh...sorry guys, bear with me. I can't stay a noob forever! Anyway the humidity stays between 80-85%, fanned 3-4 times daily, and stays 72-75 degrees. The pins are now turning blue before they even have a chance to start growing. I fear that all is lost.

Do you touch alot your cakes and pins? O.o You have a light in fruiting chamber? Do you spray your air with something like lysol?

I don't handle the cakes very much, if any at all. They sit near a window and receive indirect sunlight (is that bad?). Also, I thought about using Lysol to keep the room sanitized, but I was worried it could injure the cakes. Could this be something bacterial? Anyway, thanks for helping. What a great site!

Well for pinning the cakes dont really need that much sun, i just put mine (the fruiting chamber) on the floor and as much sun they get is enough (in winters i use some flourecent light). Well, seems like a bacteria or an inside mold... i hope not, did you wait 5-7 days after full colonization?! Its very strange, like your cake gotten old and roting or smthin :/ when you touch it is it fluffy or smthin?
