Mycobox and shotgun

Here's the thing. I've decided to try these mycoboxes everybody is talking about, to see how do they work out.
Right now I'm near complication of the first flush. The thing is, there is alot of aborted pins (or pins or second flush, or whatever), alot of small shroom with barely developed caps, and about 8 big weird ass shrooms that are all twisted as fuck. Also they have mycelium on the stem. Half way up.
I know the point of mycobox is to fill it with water, drain it after 12-24 hours and then put it in the bag for magic to happen. For my box it was said it does need to be misted every five days (probably because i had to add some lukewarm water in the bag....), so I did all that... but still... it's a bit weird for me, to have mushrooms as they are now: here's the picture... ('m sorry for the blurry pic, but i think you'll get the point.)

So this is what I want to do... after I harvest the first flush, I wanna take the box out of the bag, but some water in it for 4 hours(?) (like i'm suppose to do - well as the instructions says) and put it in my old shotgun box with perlite and mist and fan the the thing daily... Would be that a good idea (cuz when I was doing cakes, it worked great... )
What do YOU think I should do?

I think thats a great idea. to me it looks like those mushrooms arent getting enough FAE, a SGFC is the perfect remedy.

Yup! Put it in a SGFC! They r screeming for a FAE! Second flush will be much better...i am quite sure! 
Anyway...Pozdrav!!!

I heard twisting happens because of temperature fluctuations but cannot be sure.

Curly,long, "twisted",skinny stems are sign of lack of FAE!

This person also told me to put my jars in a box. Was that also incorrect advice? (during colonization)
I didn't do it because I thought I knew better but yeah he said temp fluctuations cause twisted stems.

Jars in a box during colonization? Yeah! That is bad advice too...you need gas exchange during that stage and staled air inside box is not the best thing you can give to your jars!

I hope someone will see this :P
Today i picked up all my mushrooms which were very fuzzy do to the mycelium growing on shroom stems... but the thing is... now there are bulks of mycelium (like blobs) left from mushrooms i could not twist and pull (cuz if i had done that, I would have done alot of damage due to how strong the shrooms were holding the mycelium.
On short. There's alot of mycelium outside. should i remove it (im afraid it's going to rot) or should I leave it alone?

If its mycelium,leave it be! If its pieces of shrooms remove it,cuz it will rot!
