Do these look healthy? Pics included

Hello my fellow shroom enthusiasts! I was hoping to get your opinions on the health of the mushrooms in the attached pictures. As you’ll see, the fruits have some black coloring and some brown coloring on the top, and there is some white mycelium looking stuff on the foots of the fruits and certain parts of the casing. Also some cracks or broken pieces on the fruit. The black on top of the caps is probably from spores, but I don’t know about the cracks on the caps, the brown color on the top of the caps and the white on the foots of the fruits and the casing. Your thoughts/observations would be greatly appreciated!

Just looks like spores to me. Does the black stuff just rub off easy? Then caps opened and puked spores. All good.

Thanks Manic. You’re right the black stuff rubs off easily. Does the white stuff in the casing look okay? I’m hoping it’s just mycelium or some other benign explanation.

Looks like you have a ton of pins but they may have aborted. Have you been misting and fanning a few times a day? Cracks could be from drying... same with the aborts. You need to mist and fan a few times a day... unless that a mono tub? Could have just gotten a little dry.

This is the setup I have (pic below) minus the jars. The water on the outer tub with the fish tank heater does a good job keeping the moisture up but I didn’t do a very good job with air exchange, next time I would adjust the setup to include a better way to circulate air into and out of the inner tub. Right now I’m airing twice a day by opening the lid and allowing in air from a little fan with a hepa filter for 2 min each time. I’m guessing that once a pin aborts you can’t reverse that? If all those pins did abort, will I be able to get a new flush or will those aborted pins prevent new ones?

I don’t have any experience with that kind of grow chamber but, in general, fresh air, humidity, and misting are the biggest pinning triggers. I don’t think there would be enough air movement or misting with that setup.
I have a green house now but before that I had the most success with a shotgun fruiting chamber (a.k.a. SGFC, there are lots of tutorials on here). Perhaps you could increase the humidity by putting an air stone in the water but I don’t know how effective that would be and it wouldn’t be enough for fresh air exchange without regular fanning. Misting a few times a day are a must as well. Don’t want to get things dripping wet but they should be moist. The temp is good, maybe even a little on the high side should be fine. I’d be a little worried that contaminates might like that temp too. 75’ish might be a bit better.
It’s all trial and error. Good luck!

Misting and fanning is not used anymore these days. OP, your setup looks whack. Just do a SGFC or Humidity chamber and it will work way better for you.

I try to leave my tubs alone as much as possible, but at some point every tub gets misted.
