Ammonia smelling mushrooms ??

Why would half of my mushroom bags smell like nice healthy mushrooms and half smell like ammonia...The ones that smell like ammonia are producing mushrooms that are staying really small and they turn black before the caps even open,Also there are little clusters with a ton of pins on them all stuck together and these are also turning a blackish color before the mushrooms even get a chance to grow up.What is causing this and how can I prevent it on the next grow,also are the little dark mushrooms safe to eat,I know it isn't a contamination thing but I still wouldn't want to get sick,Thank you

The same thing happened to me. Well I didnt get the amonia smell, it sounded more like cheese. I flipped the casing over and found some bacterial contamination on the underside in the middle. None of the mushrooms reached maturity before stalling and turning a dark color.

Sounds like a contam. Check out this thread: http://www.shroomery.org/index.php/par/23418
Not sure how much that'll help you though, but it'll give you a place to start. They may be able to help a bit more in the contam forum as well. God speed!

O yea,I have seen that page before.I says there that ammonia smell could be from brown mold.But that is the weird thing,There is nothing noticeable by looking it is just a super strong smell,and the mushrooms seem to just abort and rot
