 weird white cap on my first pinset

This is my first grow. Full details can be found in this thread: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/9580591/an/0/page/0
For basics though, these are 50/50 verm/coir casings over 3 pints of colonized rye. Pins have been visible on this casing for the better part of 5 days. Temps are 73-78 and humidity is 95-100%.
The white cap is definitely a cube, it looked like all the rest of my Brazilian pins coming up until yesterday. Could it be from misting the casings? I've read that misting the casings and pins very lightly is alright but now I'm starting to wonder. I'm also really surprised this fruit's cap opened as soon as it did, it's only about 1.5" tall which is really lame. Not what I was expecting for my first mushroom ever. Growth has been surprisingly slow overall. 
Hopefully, if something is wrong I can catch it early. Any idea what happened to my mushie?

That's one of the reasons I've been misting it, but I've avoided giving it as good a misting as I did before the pins came up because I've read that excessive moisture accumulation on the caps is bad. I don't know why it would be dry either, humidity has always been around 90-100 and since I made a few patches to my martha yesterday, it has been even more stable.
I have an analog thermometer but I might buy a new one. When I do spray, water droplets stay on the sides of my FC for hours without evaporating, so humidity seems like it should be at least in the 90s judging by that, even with a questionable hygrometer.

Yeah looks like an albine possible, I would clone it or make a print of it see if you can maintain the albinoism of it..

Albino? They rare or special in some way? Even if it was special, it's so small that I wouldn't want to reproduce any like it.

Well you want to preserve the color, you know how people are albino they have no skin pigment.. Same thing with shrooms they are some what rare.. If you make a print and grow that print out you should get a hole crop of albino's and that is fucking sweet..
Then you could clone a nice big albino and grow a tray full of those..

I guess, I do eventually plan on making spore prints and isolating the genetics of a particularly good mushroom. For right now though I just want to get a successful grow under my belt, I can worry about the more advanced stuff later.
Also, if you expand the first pic to it's full resolution you can see a bit of green tint on the cap. That a bad sign?

No, everything looks good. But I would still take a print of that just to have it then when you want you grow the print out and see if it is a true albino, almost any true grower would..

Well it's been a few hours and the weird mushie has gotten a slight bluish tinge to it. Seems like it could be aborting, I might pick it later. The cap is also getting slightly wavy.
A few new pics:
I'm guessing those black-capped ones in the second pic are aborts?

The top looks dry. But decay from high humidity, and fertilizers in ground.

Are you guys not seeing what I'm seeing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That looks like the Leucistic Characteristic that has been eluding us! Brother man, you need to place that in the hands of someone who can successfully clone it. That stands to be VERY DENSE and VERY POTENT. Something needs to be done with it. Clone it if you can. I can't believe what I'm seeing! looks very much like my leucistic Texan!
Don't let that slip by you!

That's actually exactly what I thought when I saw that. Definitely time to take a plunge into agar man. Look up some good isolation teks and get to work!

That's interesting so what is it with this leucistic characteristic that makes it so potent and rare?

I don't think it has anything to do with potency, it's just a rare mutation that occurs. It's like having an albino kid, except in this case, you actually want an albino trait because it's cool looking, rather than creepy and weird.
