Contamination? Dark spots on PE caps... Please help.

I've been monitoring my tub and searching the forum like crazy these past few days. I don't know what I have going on. Monotub was put into fruiting 8 days ago. Strain is PE and I'm using high mountain compost as substrate (poop, straw and some other goodies, apparently).
I had a lot of condensation dripping onto my myc and I started noticing dark spots on the pin caps where water was sitting. I have dabbed up a lot of the water over the last few days but I'm still getting spots. Some of these guys are growing upside down, too. See pics. What do you guys think?

Thank you for the input. I've returned to growing after a 10ish year hiatus and, holy hell, these are the weirdest mushrooms I've ever seen.
Glad to hear that they are semi-normal for PE. I'm gonna keep a close eye on the dark spots. Might pull em early if they keep getting worse. Cheers.

I'd recommend fixing your rh so you don't have dripping condensation. Let us know if things change in a couple of days after you've done that.
Seems to be a lot of posts lately regarding this issue hmm

Thanks,dude. I was freaking out about this. I feel a bit better.
I'm on the condensation. It hasn't been dripping for a couple days.
