If you have not already,  a good place to start is to double check that all your equipment is working properly and to recalibrate your humidity sensors.

So it is hard to tell, your sub looks moist but looks like your fruits hit a dry, no return state at some point. Did it get SUPER dry in there for a day or so?
Also, how are you going about fruiting? Temps, and pin initiation strategy?
Kings dont usually need very much water, I have my Rh at 80-85% and little to no misting.

I have been, but am having mixed results. I justdid an experiment with using coir in a thread on here, it wasnt great, other than that I have used peat/verm/lime, but I felt like it contaminated super quick before my second flush. So far my best yields are coming from uncased blocks, HWFP 20% wheat bran, 3 weeks incubation, 1 week at 50-60 degrees to pin in the bag and then cut them open when I have a good pin set.

ya i left a few bags uncased, they made it before the melt down, im using 2o percent bran and wood pellets now, its going better, before was triing to go with unsterilized pellets, worked if room was at like 12 degrees, in heat not so much, casing im using 50/50 peat verm and lime, this is my first batch ive sterillized everything and definetly worth the extra time, going without casing on next 100 bags i open, cleaner is better it seems,one less step and less work to clean them too, what are you using to cool yur room if i can ask

you are really just peeing away a lot of electricity if you're just growing kings and no recirculating your air.  There's no need to dump the air more than once an hour or so.  You will have to make sure you have adequate humidity though since the AC will suck moisture out of the air.  If you can't fog your room out then you might want to consider upgrading that as well.

i have the ac in another room in the window, with fresh air blowing in there. then a fan blowing into the fruiting room, the fruiting room is 24 by 10 feet with 2 ultra sonic foggers. i dont have much problem with humidity, i think i will try to keep it at 86 from now on
the lady i sell them to wants big caps and small, since ive put the wheat bran they seem alittle on the big side,triing to keep the air circulation high to keep them more like she wants
ive only been growing kings for bout 6 months so any info is helpful

my new bags just started to crack, feeling pretty defeated, humidity seems perfect, goes from 80 to 90 every half hour, the only thing i can really think of thats changed since they were working is the temp which goes from 16 to 18 and i cant get it lower. possible the baby king variaty doesnt like it over 15, Thats all i can think of at this point, ive got about 500 bags to experiment on,

Cracking aside, it looks like in the second picture from Ferather's post you've got some sort of blotch.
