First grow, fruiting-contam questions!

So I'm new to the game, as the title infers. I've got 10 cakes in a tub right now, and I'm getting some fruiting.
I did all the research I could on jar contams, and I think they were healthy going into the fruiting chamber.
However, there are some things happening in there that I'm not totally sure of, and maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I've got some really dark spots on some stems, and a couple dark spots on some of the bigger caps [some have already dropped spores].
I've also got a good number of med-small pins with totally black caps/heads/whatever. Just wondering if these are all okay, or if there's some contamination I'm not privy to.
There's no smell [besides that slight dry/musty mushroom smell].
I've got a couple of pictures.


Sorry if this should be in a section more for fruiting, I'm largely just worried that there's something in there that I don't want/should be getting rid of before it gets worse.
I appreciate any guidance in techniques/contamination control/better place to get this information.
Thanks!!!!

build a SGFC 
no offense but that is a disgrace to all fruiting chambers 
Mushrooms critically need fresh air exchange (FAE) I mean can you not see that those cakes are totally starved for air?
Immediately grab a powerdrill or anything that can make a lot of holes in the tub drill 1/4 inch holes in a grid pattern every 2 inches on all 6 sides and pray that this doesn't happen to the second flush
sorry for being blunt, but you should not half ass a tek and guess everywhere. A TEK is a TEK for a good reason because it's specific and it works
good luck

I think I just saw you post this tub somewhere else as well?
YOUR FRUITS ARE STARVING FOR AIR.
Build a SGFC.

Yeah, I posted it in cultivation too, which was a better place for it apparently.
Give a guy a break, it's my first time, and I knew enough that something was wrong or I wouldn't have taken pictures and come to you guys for advice. No, I could not see that they were 'starving for air' specifically. They don't talk to me.... yet.
I emergency harvested, and I picked up a brand new tub that I plan to shotgun after work today. [Wouldn't it be easier if I actually just took a damn shotgun to it? lol]
