some of the cups are all wrinkly, what's up?

i noticed that some mushroom cups inside FC are all wrinkly and some are cracked, also slimy and i wonder if this happened because i sprayed the mix before those pins emerged? could water droplets be the problem? i have to mist the casing mix after each flush because otherwise it's too dry so what can i do differently to prevent the mushrooms getting all ugly again?
please help

Its my understanding that you should be misting continuously throughout fruiting, not just after each flush. Cracked caps would signify dryness.

Fan more. Mist, then fan the shit out of it. Dont let your mushrooms sit there wet all the time.

i have a humidifyer on timer that supplies the chamber with moist air, so i didn't think i would have to mist all the time, air humidity should be ok since the walls are getting condensed... maybe RH isn't sufficient? i wonder now...

condensation is NOT an accurate measurement of RH.. Condensation happens when there is a temp difference between the inside and the outside.. i have a cloning tray filled with baby plants, and a hygrometer inside.. 85% RH, and no condensation at all

The pic has nothing to do with op's grow (i hope)
He says some mushroom caps are slimy so i provided the pic if it matches with his grow.

that's an excellent point, i don't have a hygrometer and so i was trying to guess what the humidity inside the chamber might be, so now i know i must buy one... thank you

I spent a while trying to figure out what the fuck a mushroom cup was. For a minute I thought you were growing them in cups, and the cups got wrinkled. I was like
