 poor fruiting of PF Tek cakes

G'day everyone.
I am having trouble with fruiting of my cakes. The temp and humidity are perfect, yet I'm only getting one or two fruitbodies per flush. The fruits don't even reach maturity before they stop growing and come loose. Barely any pinning at all, which is strange considering they have been in the terrarium for three weeks.
I have tried dunking a couple of other cakes but still the same problem.
Anyone have any ideas? As you would all realize, this is rather frustrating.
I look forward to hearing any ideas, and thanks for taking the time to post some advice.

I have no idea, assuming you did everything correctly. Perhaps the spores you got were not that great? I don't really see how that would matter as it was a multip spore grow, but...

I'm quite sure the spores were viable. I used a print and the mycelium tore through the verm and BRF really quickly. I'm at a bit of a loss as to whats going, as I've never had problems like this before...using the same spores mind you.
Maybe it's just one of mycology's little mysteries?
Perhaps someone more experienced than myself has an answer?

Its not a spore issue if your cakes are covered in myc.
How long did you dunk them for? I hope you rolled them.
Did you allow them to incubate 1 full week after they were covered in myc?
Mist your cakes or sppon water in the divot on top of the cakes.
