2nd flush pins in just two days?! (maz kit)

Folks, I put this mazatapec kit to grow. Nothing special, I think it was quite slow to show the first flush pins, perhaps 9 days, compared to what I was used to. All good, I harvested the remaining shrooms of the first flush, at noon one day, left the dry kit in the fridge for a few hours because I wad busy, then pierced it well, soaked it in the evening and placed it the next day, noon or so. Began the daily routine of spraying and airing, the first day it was all normal. But the second day in the morning I noticed the pins, quite visible! (5 mm or so)
The heck is going on, anyone experienced this before and can tell what I should expect? I fear this incredible spawn speed may affect their content or growth, but I'm noob. 
Its first flush was unexpectedly rich but I cleared the cake thoroughtly. Perhaps also worth mentioning is that, this time (this kit), I grew them over a heater, on top of a cardboard box. Basically, the shrooms grew up in a sauna, where the water vaporized then condensed on the bottom of the bag, around the kit box.
Cheers!

Ok, here's what happened, 5 days later: the first fruits that appeared did not grow too much. They remained short, got thicker and became dark and wrinkled, without opening caps. I harvested the largest (and darkest), I am not sure they are edible. Lots of blue liquid imprints remained on the paper I cut them on... There is quite a bunch of pins left, they are thick and present a white fuzz all over. I suppose the excess humidity is to blame.
Any advice what to do next, should I remove everything and soak for the 3rd flush? I'm just considering the cake is still wet, it wasn't sucked thoroughtly.

Dammit, thanks folks!
@mushhead, the first flush grew in the same* conditions, and it was richer than expected. "Same" except the heater temperature was increased at the 2nd flush (not much, though) due to colder weather - this might have something to do with it...
Pics: the first is the last harvest of the 1st flush, second is when 2nd flush pins appeared, 3rd is when they made me think it's trouble.

Yep. You suffocated them and they were too hot basically. You should build a SGFC out of a sterilite tub and toss that bag. The bag is what's causing issues combined with the heat... imagine yourself sitting in an almost sealed container with little airflow being super heated.
