First, stop typing in all caps. Second, are you sure it's mycelium? It could be a contam, like cobweb. Check here and look at the pictures:

It is also very possible that the humidity is just too HIGH. 90% is a bit excessive, which is a common problem with ultrasonic humidifiers. See here: http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/23419

is your hygrometer calibrated??? because if you are sure it is mycelium, it is formed on the CAPS when it is too dry. if you would like to know how to calibrate your hygro pm me, it works well and will solve the unknown rh problem if you dont have the cash for a digital. Jake H

Have you ever experienced that or are you saying it because you heard it somewhere?

In this case what you heard is not true.
The mycelium is forming on caps when it is too HUMID.
