Yellowing mycelium on casings

Hello from the shroomery's biggest lurker,
So afoaf recently birthed his casings into his martha-style terrarium (actually a Juliana terrarium), and after a couple days he's noticed that some of the mycelium that has surfaced on the casings is getting a bit yellow on the ends...
The humidity has been ranging from 80 - 85, occasionally dropping into the 70's. Temp ranges from 65-70 F. The air is well exchanged, with a coolmist running 24/7 and an ultrasonic that comes on every 2.5 hours for 30 mins. The casings are rye grain with 50/50 coir/verm below and above.
Anyone got a good guess as to the cause of this, and its implications? I could post pics, but this might be a simple question so I wont yet.
A seperate question regarding misting...afoaf has been misting roughly once a day, spraying each casing about 10-15 times, and he's starting to realize that he doesn't really know when to stop...how moist should the soil be? Also, I feel like he may be stunting the mycelial growth with the misting, as it seems to whither when he sprays it. (using a very dilute h202 + h20 mix)
He's just put so much blood and sweat into these little guys so far, now he wants to see their full potential!
Thanks for the help. 
PS. If I get some good answers I might just post pics of _his_ setup...muhaha
