Is there something wrong with my GrowKit ?

Hello guys,
I would like to ask some experience grower if he could identify weather there is something wrong with my kit or not. I'm doing my second flush first time and mushrooms doesn't look same as first time and it seems like they do also grow slower.

They don't have all the same brown caps, some are more brown healthy looking some don't rly have the color.
Again I'm not sure if they are ok to eat or is the kit contaminated and I should throw them out ?
Any help would be super great.
Thanks in advance.

Certainly not clicking any external links ending in .cz to find out. I can instead just give you the answer you'll come to expect from here.
Yes, there is something wrong with your kit. It's a kit.

Here's image, didn't want to make post messy with 3 pictures.
"Yes, there is something wrong it's kit" ... doesn't help much man.

Those look like there's a combination of several things wrong with them, probably caused by the conditions that the kit is having you grow them in. More fresh air and misting can't hurt, but fanning isn't fresh air, so you'll have to crack the lid or poke holes or something. I can't say specifically what you need to do since I don't even know what this kit looks like. Most kits come with instructions from 20 years ago that are misguided and generally leave you with a failure. So yeah, a kit is the cause of a lot of issues. 
All I can outright tell is that they want air.

those ready mycel kits could be OK if they were 1/10th of the price and you got like 5 of them all grown with a decent culture, and a sgfc to put them in and the perlite should come in a bag and not under your substrate.
and the instructions should just be a link to the shroomery and some good teks.

That and the pictures look like they were taken through a pair of grandma coke-bottle glasses.

If they were as big as the picture made them look they wouldn't be so bad but I get the feeling it's a close up and with that size and scale, those mushrooms are clearly unhealthy. Check out the cap to stipe ratio.

Thanks a lot, will check it out when I get home.
One thing I'm most worried about is contamination, since even the damn kit got contaminated (it seems) and I was washing hands, had windows closed etc.

Were you working inside a SAB when you did your inoculations?

Doing it yourself, believe it or not, is more likely to succeed then a grow kit.
