Need help with fruiting!!

This is my first grow.. I did everything step by step by what I read on here and I birthed everything fine. It took 2 months to do tho. My house stays about 72? Now that I'm starting to fruit my cakes I don't know if they're going ok so I decided to join since I read on here so much anyways lol my fruiting chamber has constant air flow.. Idk if that's good or not it does have direct light on them. It's staying about 75 degrees and humidity is at about 70 but if I shut the fan off it goes to about 85.. Are they getting contaminated? Or what should I change? I put one azurescens cube outside under some mulch and I actually have one that popped up this afternoon

Just a helpful bit of advice... you'll get a lot more help if your post isn't a nightmare to read.
Can you provide some pictures of your fruiting chamber? You do want direct light. A 6500k daylight CFL does the trick just fine. You'll want 90%+ humidity in your fruiting chamber. Mid 70s is prime for fruiting cubes.

Turn off the fan. A fluctuation in RH is a good thing. I like dropping the RH then bringing it back up to promote evaporating moisture from the substrate Which is the number one pinning trigger.
That being said. I hope you dunked the cakes before putting them in the FC (fruiting chamber.) & rolled them in verm.

I can't figure how to post pictures on replies to save my life. I uploaded 4.. But no I didn't dunk and roll I kept reading to get 3 flushes before I dunked? And I broke one up and it looks to be starting to get contaminated

After you upload the picture to your shroomery account, copy the url under the picture. Open the text box to reply to this thread and click on the button above that looks like a picture. Copy URL and BAM you're in business.
You crumbled a cake? To bulk? or just crumbled it...
Cakes should be dunked and rolled immediately after birthing.

I tried fruiting one cube for a week with no luck.. So when I started the rest I took that one and broke it up in a bag and spread it over verm and spread more on top of it.. Should I dunk and roll them now?

They look healthy. Dunk them and stick them in the fridge for 12 hrs

omit the fridge part. Don't roll again after the dunk, either.

Put the cakes on pieces of tinfoil so they're not touching the perlite directly too.

I don't want to start a new thread but would it be a good idea to plant some cakes out side in a flower pot filled with rabbit poop

When temperatures here reach 100+, cold shock makes my cakes flush again in 2 days but to each his/her own.
Either way, mushrooms NEED water to produce heavy fruits. I always dunk after birthing

Lol I remember when I started growing, I thought certain spots were cobweb when shrooms were growing. Stared at them a lot too. Fuzzy mycelium does not mean cobweb. You can tell its cobweb if it looks like grey fuzzy growth. And it grows fast.

It is greyish actually It's the top one of the 4 I posted I just did everything 2 days ago so it's all grown fairly fast. And some spots actually look like their getting a orangish tint? What could that be?

A picture would be nice. But if you are worried, just separate them on each side of your incubating area. When you open it when colonized, they should smell distinct and not rancid

Hmm..looks a bit like shroom piss give it a couple days.
If its contaminated/consumes mycelium, throw away immediately or bury outside. Don't open around others if it gets a lot worse.

And should I be watering where the cube I put outside? I tried shaking a gt jar at 15 percent to see what would happen. It started growing black mold the next day so I buried it and a month went by with nothing. After I rinsed all my jars and lids into one container and dumped it in the same spot and there's a az growing today. Everywhere I've read pretty much has said that's that's impossible that the az needs to season and be covered until fall
