First Mushroom Project in Mycodome with Tequila Spikes...Question

I have started a strain called Tequila Spikes in a Mycodome using cakes. I inoculated the six substrate jars with the strain and let them sit in the warmed mycodome around 79-82 degrees in darkness for two weeks, all but two jars were mostly fully colonized.
After more time went by, and following the Mycodome instructions, it was close to a month so I went ahead, with the most of the jars from what I could see completely white, dunked the cakes fully in spring water in a container, gently flipping it a few times then sitting it upside down 12 hours and right side up 12 hours. Things appeared to be fine.
Now I have had light on the cakes for several days and two of the cakes, which I believed to be screw ups since they had not much white at all, began to develop a fuzz over them, and in the humidity of the dome, when I opened it and using gloves tried to move them away from the other cakes due to this expanding fur, the water condensation on them made the fur mush to the cake as a blueish sludge. Here is an image below...
So, being a retard, I decided the best thing to do was to remove these cakes all together, leaving the last four to hopefully be healthy and produce. I placed them back into substrate jars and have them in a dark warmed location. Is there any hope on them or should I just toss them out? I believe I just took them out too soon. Thanks...

Mycodome is the first mistake you made. The next one is having shitty cakes. The third one not posting in contamination. The fourth is ignoring the search button. EDIT: Another mistake is not using a more common strain.

Actually looking at the pic close up, they're all infected toss em all man.

Jeeez... Too bad man, hopefully that far cake will show you some pins before the entire show goes under.
Do some more homework. If you tried to fruit partially uncolonized cakes, you clearly need to do some more reading.
Call this your throw-away prototype run. I'm sure you learned quite a bit.

Always wait for 100% colinisation before birthing, uncolinised substrate will get hit with contamination.
If a jar stalls and you have to birth, then remove any uncolinised portions before dunking.
And yes, dont use the mycodome. You can build that setup yourself for half the money.
Start again from fresh, try and work out why your cakes stalled.
I will repeat this.
DONT BIRTH UNTIL FULLY COLINISED, WHEN IT LOOKS 100% GIVE IT ANOTHER 5 DAYS.

dude for my cakes i bought a bag of perlite and two dinky sized shoebox rubbermaides and make small double tubs that fit like 4 cakes in each one (check my gallery). each tub cost about 2.50 bucks canadian and did the job VERY well, hopefully you will learn that buying these crappy overpriced products was a mistake you will never make again. Birthing those cakes not even half colonized was a waste, that almost guarantees contamination. Hopefully the next time around you will have better luck, i've got my fingers crossed for you man.
