yup, that batch went from bad to worse, i through out all of them, it was in seperate room and humidity was high and hot, since then ive move the new ones to the main room(had bugs in the main room, is the reason for moving), so now im back in the main room and cracking is happening still on bigger mushrooms.is blotch spreadable or more caused by conditions, at 15 degrees and lower didnt seem to run into these problems, cant wait for winter,
Ill try to post some new pics

Re-posting your images.

   

They look like....... Well they are fat. The brown is maybe contamination?
I also see what looks like a moldy bag at the back.

Remove from the room if it is.

Yes! That will happen with blotch in higher temps, the main way of fighting blotch is less water and cooler temps. I ran into it when I first started Eryngii, it's my main crop so I spent a lot of time dialing it in, for me the blotch and funkiness stopped when I stopped misting and brought RH down to 80-85, also my temps were closer to 68-70 at the time I had the problem, I brought down my temps to 58-62 and the problem stopped.
Eryngii is really susceptible to blotch and other bacterial problems, but I think your problem is caused by the temps with the cracking, I have seen that on mine when it gets to dry and hot at the same time, usually on a second flush though.

thanks marty, temps were hitting 65 last night and then started to see the cracking, seeing the cracking is making me think dry so turn up the humidity, causing the blotch, the only way i see to fix the temp is to stick the ac in the room, I have it in another room in the window right now, then triing to blow cold air from that room in, but it doesnt seem to be working, its in buried basement so im going to have put ac in the room in one of the doors and vent the heat from the room getting the hot end i guess. do you have any problems with the ac in the humidity?

or i could just get floor model with a vent pipe and make life easy for a change,  was scared ac in high humidity might ice up, which is why i was triing blow cold air in from other room, but if ac works in the grow room with no issues why not eh. that is ok to do?(ac in higher humidity)

With the AC, I have mine set up in a window in my shop where my grow room is, I have part of the AC blowing into the grow room through ducting and the rest of the AC cools the space around the grow room, the ac unit itself doesnt touch the humidity, the grow room air and humidity is directly exhausted outside the building. I also have a temperature controller hooked up to the AC unit with a connected probe inside the grow room to keep it whatever temp I need. This is the best way I have figured it out for my setup, but there are a million ways to skin this cat Im sure.

so i have the right idea then, And the device you attached to yur ac is a coolbot, or is there something else cheaper lol. I will try to get some better ducting attached to ac, had 4 inch lieing around, but 6 inch with a proper duct attachment would probably help alot
Thanks i really appriciate the help

couldnt i just plug ac into thermostat switch (like a grozone one) cause i just happen to have one of them sitting here. then suck all the cold air from ac into the grow room and thermostat would turn it off when grow room was cool enough, got most of the stuff, seems like a cheap fix

they are cracking and browning because they are too dry, growing too fast because of the heat, or fresh air.

So the blotch seems pretty serious, thinking about growing shiitakes, i just through out over a hundred pounds of kings and im broken, going to end up homeless on the street rambling about growing mushrooms lol
Only problems i can see with shiitakes is space , im able to produce a 100 kilos of rye grain spawn and lipa tech 200 bags of pellets a week, with the time it takes to fruit them my basement is going to fill up fast,

So blotch sucks, is this stuff going to cause problems on shiitake?, after bleaching entire hous a few times, ill open some more bags, through everything outside and covered it with other stuff that went bad, its close to the house, didnt realize how bad this stuff was when i did it, wundering if running ozone everywhere once a week would be a possible solution?dropped humidity and opened bags that were pinning without cleaning place, surprise more blotch, the cleaning of the place is pretty depressing, tough throwing out months of work
