Fruiting troubles

So I spawned a couple 9 month old jars of rye berries to coir/verm/coffee about 2 months ago and the trays have had difficulty pinning and especially maturing after the fact. Many of the pins will start tearing away from the stem making it look "hairy". Some grow upside down completely or just a an upside cap grows without a stem. Strange stuff, including parts of the caps just inverting.
Is this due to very old spawn or maybe something like too much or too little water/fae/humidity? I've grown stuff in this fruiting chamber before with much success so I'm not sure what is going on.

Who knows but it looks like a poorly performing culture either way. Start you a new culture

La France Disease an isometric virus
Symptoms of this disease include a degeneration of the mycelium, suppression of fruiting, and rapid dying of mushrooms. In time, the mushroom mycelium disappears. Infected mushrooms are off-white and drum-stick shaped. Other fruitbody symptoms include dwarfing, premature opening of veil, development of an elongated spindly stem with a small cap, formation of a thickened stem with a thin flat cap, and malformed or absent gills. Mushrooms should be picked before the veil opens since spores may carry virus particles (75% infection rate of spores from infected mushrooms). Pasteurization of wood after the compost has been removed is essential. Initial sources include infected spores or mycelium in or on wood, compost, casing, people, and equipment. Wood should be cleaned, disinfected, and steamed. The virus may enter a mushroom farm from neighboring farms and from wild mushrooms. Controls include pasteurization (145 F for 6 or more hours) of compost, spawn, equipment and empty rooms), cleaning HEPA filters, and general sanitation. In 1962, Hollings first identified viruses in mushrooms, also the first report that fungi had viruses. Another virus with a lipid membrane is found in all hybrid spawn; its effect is unknown. PCR is now used by makers of spawn for
