3rd attempt over half a year. What am I doing wrong?

Hello everyone. i've been following your teks for quite some time eventually commiting to grow some mushrooms. I have nothing to show for in three attempts (months and months) and would like some advice. The third attempt I am trying a few different teks. I have the traditional pftek with cakes (brf/verm). Rye seed casing with 1.) Verm 2.) Miracle grow Moisture control 3.) 50/50. Then i also have a cake isolate in a sterile jar at room temp.
The main concern is that it grows a little fuzzy once it goes in the fruiting chamber. The isolated one too. Too much humidity? I've tried to cut back and only allow whatever comes out of the aquarium heater water container, which is sealed off but does a good job. I don't mist anymore but I do fan to remove co2. Temp is a steady 73-78F. I gave them all 5 days after full colonization before birthing to make sure. Colonizing isn't a prob at all. And then should I expect to see some pinning with the casing after the casing layer has fully colonized? What about the verm only one? I thought I read that verm has no nutrience so wouldn't give to growth to mcelium. I am posting pics too.
Btw I use a brite white/daylight energy saving light bulb. Specs are: 10Watt, 120VAC, 60Hz 160mA





 Thanks so much everyone!

You need "Fresh Air Exchange" aka FAE. you should build yourself a "Shot Gun Fruiting Chamber" aka SGFC. Use the search engine on the upper right, and search for SGFC and watch the videos http://www.mushroomvideos.com/. This should help

in the second picture it shows my setup under the cakes, my heater in water. Some of the water escapes and humidifies the entire container. I also mist a couple times a day. See it's only a few cakes so I assume it doesn't need much fanning because the co2 build up isn't that much. I will change that starting today.
