Shrooms look good before drying, but after they are bad.. Help Please

I have had a few different succesful harvests of Australian cubes, and I have dried them all in a food dehyrdator. When they are still wet, they look huge, but after they are dried there stems are like a cm wide in some cases. I fully understand that there will be some shrinkage, but I have seen other shrooms that are completely dried, and havent shrunk up completely. Will try to get some pics, but is this normal? I am thinking it is just the strain. I have some gts that I am pick tomorrow, and hopefully i can tell the difference. Has Anyone had this same experience with aussies? I would switch to a new strain, but they seem to give me a really strong body buzz which I like. It is not a huge concern just more of a inquistive mind at work. Thanks
EDIT: forgot to add, they are PF cakes, some were cased, some werent. I have an automated FC, with plenty of FAE and I dunked and rolled, or just dunked then cased.

A cube is the same as just about all other cubes 
with that said you will lose about 85-90% due to water. My GT's weighed about almost an oz and dried to just over an eighth.
IMOP some of the meatier ones for me have been PE, TX, and Z
In the end they are all cubes to me
Oh and as far as cakes vs casings go, I feel as there is more potency with casings then to fruit off the cake

I spawned this batch using 50/50 hpoo/verm mix. Really weird lookings caps. Black, but when put into light they appear brownish reddish. They almost appear holograhpic. Pretty sure this is aussie. But I could tell the difference with this batch. They are still drying but seem to be a lot thicker, and weigh more. So it looks like my problem was not using HPOO. But what is up with these caps.

Here is a closer shot of the caps.

overmature.... they have spores all over the top. take a wet papertowel to the tops, those spores will wipe off easily.

Yes, that would make sense. The timing was bad, yesterday around 7 pm they were close but not quite, and the soonest I could get back home was around 4 PM next day. Thanks it seems obvious but i never would of thought of that. But now there are spores all over my FC will that effect ne thing? And how do i go bout cleaning them up?
EDit: Also are they safe for consumpation? I am assuming they are, but I dont want to take ne chances with this, especially if I want to share with a few friends...

safe... yes
spores all ove the Fc.. (it's gonna happen) i clean out my greenhouses after each "session is depleted"
cleaning: i take the plastic off and place it over my lampost outside, and hose the greenhouse covering off with a Mr. Clean Auto Dry Carwash. Works great.
