Cherry Cake

Been lurking in this forum for a few months now. First started off with a grow-kit (which navigated me to this place and for that I am grateful to it) that didn't go so well. Naturally moved on to self-made cultivating.
Though it is humble, my first proud BRF cake:
   
I know the FC is pretty small but thats all I can do right now. As you can see NO perlite. I'm using a dump towel. Still looking for some. Trying to fan as much as possible, 3-5 times a day. Misting 1-2 times. Don't have any direct lighting, so they basically get room lighting.
That's the first cake that colonized the quickest. Birthed another 2 a couple of days ago, and got 2 more consolidating. Those last 2 cakes took like a month to fully colonize, and pinning also took about 2 weeks to start on the first one. The syringe was a years old though. Maybe that's the reason? It said B+.
Anyway wanted to say thanks to everyone in this community for helping, if it was directly answering my questions, or posting useful info that I used. You all Rock, and I bet also Roll.
Any improvement suggestions will be accepted gladly.

Thanks people. Couldn't have done it without you!
Some update pics:
The second flush of that first cake

Another two on their way

So those two big ones ejaculated their spores in the FC before I could harvest them. Mainly on the walls FC and a bit on another cake. What's the repercussions, and should I do something about it?

I still think the fact you are having success with no perlite is pretty badass.

Doesn't hurt anything. Just a little messy.

I really should find some perlite.
I remember reading in a few posts that you don't want spores in your FC. Didn't really get why..

can lead to unwanted colonization (especially on things like that towell)
and contamination
the cleaner, and freer of organic material you can keep your FC (other than your sub and fruits of course) the better

Well if it's best to avoid it I will.
What about eating spore covered shrooms?
