1 inch shrooms, "damaged" casings, and hope for a martha full of pans!

Heeeey... i have some weirdness going on. I had some Huatala and Tazmanian spawned to Hpoo in bread-pan casings about 2 inches thick... i put a 50/50 mix of peat-moss\verm on top about 1/4 inch or so... Incubating, things going good, then i have to go on vacation for 5 days right about fruiting time. I take the ones that look almost ready, and put saran wrap + foil over the top and fridge them. About half, the ones that arnt ready, i put saran wrap + foil on them and throw back into the incubator.
Well i get back, mist the fridge ones and fruit, then the some of the ones in the incubator started to have little thin wormy pins in it! Although the casing wasn't colonized any more then before i left! A lot still had uncolonized top. I went ahead and threw everything into the FC... Now after 3-4 days, some small shrooms have sprouted + broken veil... but all of them are litterly about 3/4 - 1 inch tall... unusable... very few of them. In a martha, with a vicks impeller cool mist on 24/7, and an ventasonic ultrasonic on for 3-4 minutes (alternating) every 2 hours. RH stays at 90%+ and its never too foggy or over misty in the chamber... just a little soggy on the sides soon after the ultrasonic cycle. I fan that sucker about 3-6 times a day. Any ideas to save these casings or make them more optimal? Ive had a lot of successful casings in the martha, and Im hoping i only stunned the mycelium, and given a week or 2 they will all pin out w/ regular shrooms. Any experience with something like that? Thanks for any input!

They started fruiting while you incubated them, theres the problem.
One, you put seran wrap over them making it air tight. This was not a good move, and luckily you didnt walk out with casings full of cobweb. Next time, just foil will do the job.
Now they started fruiting in those conditions. High heat(Incubation), and high co2 levels from the air being trapped, along with little to no fresh air.
That is why the pins were shitty. Just harvest the flush, rehydrate the casings, and let them go in the martha. You should have much better luck this go around.

Eeeek... yea... i had wicked cobweb on 1 of them.... How long should i wait before dunking + trying again? Some of them are popping up 1-2 at a time... should i do it sooner rather then later? Right now, it seems the ones that were in the fridge are producing these too...
When you dunk these, do you apply any more casing layer to the top afterward or do you just take out, put back into the breadpan, and fruit? Thanks for the input... sounds like flush 2 is gonna be where its at! hehehe

I never dunk my casings. I mist them heavily. That is all they need.
Mist the casing layer untill it stops absorbing the water. You'll be fine.
If they are popping 1-2 at a time, pick them all, (You will want to apply a thin layer of casing where you damaged the casing), rehydrate it, and maybe cold shock it for 12 or so hours.
