Shrooms smell like piss.....

Sorry, one more post in the contamination forum.
So, the last two grows I've had my fresh picked shrooms smell like fucking piss. Sometimes I'd get this smell on side pins and I know it's some weird but apparently common bacteria causing this.
They don't smell sweet or sour or like they're rotting, they literally smell like I've been misting them with piss water. Wtf am I doing wrong now?
The only thing I can think of is that I sterilized my grain (organic rye) and didn't inoc for a week. I used agar wedges btw. I've also misted probably way too much to counterbalance the heat and lack of humidity in my grow area. Actually, I can barely get my room around 80 so this probably explains everything.
I'm actually gonna quit trying to give advice on this forum because I apparently can't grow worth a fuck.
They look good though!

if it's as hot as you say and are sure of your sterilization and inoculation technique, you probably answered yourself.

If it's very dry where you live, have you considered getting a humidifier just to bump your ambient humidity up a bit? That's what I'd do.

Thanks fellas. I lightened up on the misting and the stragglers are not so smelly. Excellent flush overall too I like the idea of a humidifier but I sleep in the same room I grow in and that might make me uncomfortable.

Canada and Texas are way different. I have seen some of your outdoor grows though in the 'frigid desert' lol, and good job on that. I wouldn't use a humidifier but that's only because I think it's more of a heat issue plus I sleep in the same room. I may need to get a window unit during the summer.
