What Deformity Did I Grow (With Pics)? Does It Belong In Contamination?

These are supposed to be some type of Cubie, maybe B+ or KSSS, I've had a labeling fail.
Anyway, they don't look like the pics of any strain that I've acquired. I'm having trouble finding pics of such strangely contorted fruits anywhere. Despite the veils being fully opened, they do not seem to be dropping spores at all.
Is this likely environmental, contaminated spawn, genetics...other?

What kind of fruiting chamber do you have going there?

It's a standard 20 gallon monotub with 6 holes, 4 low, 2 high, each covered with 100% polyester eco-fleece.
It would be interesting to know it was the tub design. The best flush I've ever had, wall-to-wall, just came from tubs of the same exact configuration but with different genetics--AA+. In addition, I have 3 other tubs, all the same design, growing normal looking shrooms, one with a decent pinset.
Nearly all of these deformed ones pinned on the side of the sub and grew up to the top. If due to lack of FAE, could it possibly be because they spent much of their lives stuck between the tub and sub?

I'm a bit new to indoor grows and a lot of this forum's teks. My main experience comes from oysters grown commercially. I would heed pasty and TC's advice though - the mushrooms looks as though they have lived a dry life with little to no FAE.

Even these with the weird growth pinned like mad on the sides but very little on top. I suspect it was unclean spawn and some type of contamination preventing decent top pinning. Contamination may also have slowed fruiting and created time for it to become dry.
I am experimenting with FAE but some of my tubs have flushed well and other current ones do seem somewhat happy and normal, all with the same design.
I have been modifying my tubs as they are recycled back into operation though. I've increased the size of all the holes by about 3-4x and now have them double layered with 3M micropore. One of the new ones setup like this is putting on an OK pinset and the one next to it seems to be trying to do the same. I might still have some spawn issues with this one:

Just out of curiosity, why not roll with polyfil and holesaw style holes? It seems to be a proven method here that everyone has had luck with. There are teks available for you to read that teach you how to dial in said holes as well?
Also, as I said, I'm a bit new to these indoor teks so this might be something I haven't seen quite yet.

Just because there are quicker and easier ways to do the same thing. 3M micropore tape is relatively cheap in bulk and it is super fast to slap on and take off--much more so than stuffing polyester and trying to achieve uniformity.
Some of the strains really seem to like the eco-fleece, which is just another form of polyester, but it is a PITA to administer. This is also how I discovered that Gorilla tape is sometimes major overkill--it can be work to peal that stuff off!

you can dial in polyfil. you can't dial in tape. tape is a poor replacement for polyfil because you cannot adjust for FAE. lets not gloss over the fact that everyone in this thread has already mentioned your FC seriously lacks in FAE. so I would scrap that design you have ASAP and build a real mono and stop fucking around with tape.

you make it sound like stuffing a hole with stuffing is some sort of complicated maneuver. its definitely not, and its very easy to make it uniform.

I dial in micropore tape. I will probably do a grow here soon if only to demonstrate.

I agree, I have been given tons of great info on here.
One of the more revered growers on here has figured out how to dial in tape and has posted serious success using it. Check out Pasty's "Clone test" in mini monos:
https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23399203
There are several ways to vary FAE with tape...size of the vent, 1 single or multiple layers of tape, and only taping over part of a vent hole--they don't have to be completely closed.
Sure, it's not considered standard, but that doesn't mean it doesn't or can't work. If I continue to have problems I will make adjustments but I've had the greatest success I've ever had yet with my eco-fleece. Come on, it is just another form of polyester that can be adjusted in various ways too 
Eco-fleece obviously can't work:

ya sure you can do this kind of shit when you know how to grow, but OP can't even tell what low FAE looks like on his fruits, let alone use that info to dial in tape. so for the beginner, I'm gonna say check the tape at the door.
OP, you seem like the kind of person that has to fuck with shit just because. The rectangular holes, the square holes, the fleece, the tape... I just don't see the point. and to clarify, it wasn't your usage of said fleece, but rather your statement that "Some of the strains really seem to like [it]." Which, I'm sure, is just an anecdotal statement.
