Confused as to what went wrong with bulk tek

I used http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11916595/fpart/1/vc/1 "My Elementary Coir Tek" I have done it several times with success but this time I had a weird outcome. All the cakes looked almost rubbery and felt like a sponge. Most seemed very dry yet I have enough humidity going through the enclosure Any idea what happened here?

same b+ that I have been using. Did a g2g and my last batch worked great but this one not so well. Also they have been getting constant FAE from a small computer fan as I have a timer running for 40 seconds every 10 minutes when I have the humidifier going on the same timer

lysol? you want to disinfect bugs? neem oil works great for mites if in fact that is what you have. not lysol.

neem would be better than lysol.
bulks are especially prone, as peeps handle them in a way, wich allows for recontamination in process of making them.
mites cover the planet.

It may just be the pic, but that first one looks contaminated.
The darker, un-colonized areas, especially on the bottom left, have yellowing mycelium. The lack of colonization and yellowing could be due to contamination or, like mentioned earlier, drying.
Even with high humidity, your substrate can dry out if there's a lot of FAE. It's possible that the change of season may require some adjustments to your FC.
Sometimes shit just happens. If you continue to have the same problem, try properly pasteurizing instead of the elementary coir tek and see if that solves your problem.
