Pls Help - Caps won't open and are wrinkled - Shroomy Newbie

Hi guys,
as you can see on the pictures, for several days now these B+ in this growing kit are not opening their caps and are wrinkled. I have fluffy white stuff at the stems which is why I've started to get more often fresh air inside.
Could that be the same reason?
It's the first flush and before this stage I have only harvested 3 fully grown, non wrinkled shrooms. Start time to grow was May 12th (which means about two weeks ago).
I don't know what to do, I don't have any experience =/

poor air exchange, poor moisture content, insufficient lighting. build a fruiting chamber and get them out of the bag or modify your bag until it starts working.

Nice, that's a straight forward answer! 
Lighting shouldn't be the problem in the future. I've started to put them in front of the window (no direct sun).
Air exchange should be enough if I open the bag several times a day to exchange the air? It should at least. Those growing kits are field-proved by a lot of users.
What is moisture content?
And what do you mean by improving the bag, plug holes inside?

several times an hour. you need to poke some strategic holes in there. start small with a few and then see if you can add more.
moisture content is how much of that substrate is wet. sometimes a substrate can be too wet or too dry. you can usually judge by picking it up after you get a feel for it. it should be dense but not soaked also it shouldn't be dry and light.
sunlight is a-ok as long as you can keep them from drying out.

those kits are NOT proved to work well by other growers. those choke bags are notorious for fuckin up. you'd need to fan the bag 4-6 times pr hr or poke some holes / cut some slits in it.
I suggest building a SGFC

this is a second flush, it's nothing special, but cubes are weeds and they're hard to fuck up. I came home from a 3 day vacation, I dumped water on it before I left wait a few hours and poured out the excess water. this is what I had when I came back. I just left the lid half off. there's no holes or modifications to the tub. you just have to develop an eye for knowing what they want. keep looking around here and finding relevant current proven by results information and trying to do that.

Kits are often despised by most growers, even if they are new to growing.

Okay, more Air via some Holes or Slits. But you say strategic. Any specific instructions on that? Otherwise I'd just punsh in a few at the border of the case and a few on top but the other side.
Hmmm, is the substrate too dry? I dont know. I have soaked it according to the instructions.
