extremely slow growth... pics

Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but supposedly this is the b+ strain, and I have been lead to believe that it is a fast and large grower.
This is a pic of the first two pins from about a week ago:

This is a pic of the same two shrooms from two days ago:

They're no much bigger today, either.
Not only that, but there are only like three shrooms per cake growing towards maturity right now.
Humidity is high (between 95%-99%).
Temp is around 80 degrees most of the time (which I've been trying to reduce, although I read on this site that higher temps after fruiting has been initiated leads to faster growth).
Fanning about 3-4 times a day.
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!
As far as I know, I'm doing everything right. And if someone knows of a good way to cool off a FC that is more effective than ice packs, I'm all for it.

you need to learn patience man, just because someone had a B+ cake which matured in 4 days doesn't mean yours will. Your mushrooms will mature when they want to mature. They're almost done, in a day or two those caps will begin opening and the veil will tear.
-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten)

I'm with coda on this one. Your temps and RH seem to be in-line so continue what you're doing and wait for those suckers to fatten up. =)

Those shrooms are sucking all the moisture they can out of the cake as well as the air, mist those cakes often and they will fatten up, they will suck it up like a sponge! Remember mushrooms are 92% water it's got to come from somewhere.
