Both look to me like they matured in air that was too dry.

I second the low humidity assessment.

I have the humidifier on. But I have issues with get the heater to work for both the fruiting and colonizing jars. What could I please do?Both look to me like they matured in air that was too dry.

I have the humidifier on in the space and it pulls water droplet sometimes. Is there anything else I can do?Looks like low humidity.
Tends to make the caps crack and feel more leathery.

Presently 75f i cannot get it lower without affecting the colonised spawn on the upper level. Wow I never knew it was possible to get too much FAEWhat temperatures are you working with?
Also if you have ventilation holes, perhaps close a few of them. You may have too much fae

I have a Humidity monitor. My issue is when I put it at 95%, it makes a pool of water. So I decided to drop it to 85%.Too much fae will reduce you humidity.
All depends on relative humidity to your area also.
Where i live my outside humidity is typically 80%+
Best idea would be to get a humidity monitor. So you can keep the level up high enough.

They both look pretty mature to me... I am not sure I followed 100% but it sounds like you are supplementing heat for colonization and fruiting... I would suggest doing things at room temperature. I have better luck keeping conditions within the sweet spot while avoiding contamination when I forgo additional heat.

Yup using a heater for both fruiting and colonizing. It's freezing here but I truly appreciate the replyThey both look pretty mature to me...

Freezing is not a word the mush understands.
Can you keep your house at 70F?
If you say yes, you got all you need.
It's that simple.
And if I may add you can be posting in the proper section of the forum which is right here --->https://mycotopia.ne...gic-mushrooms/

Unless it's specifically designed to measure rH at levels above 95% then it's not going to be accurate at that level or higher, and you cannot rely on it. You don't actually need to measure humidity at all.
Also, make sure that your heat source is not in a direct line of sight from your jars or bags and fruiting bins. Radiant heat drives off moisture, which might be causing your issue.
