huh, interesting, I think for next time I just wont mess with this, trying to jump from pf tek to bulk has my head spinning. I still have high hopes though, where I threw the cake in was very clean, lots of air cleaner spray in the air, and did not touch the cake. it is disappointing though. this is getting confusing. But the pf tek was confusing till I did it, maybe I should just pasteurize some manure and spawn a cake to it.

Your very clean is just as dirty as the bottom of your shoe as far as mycology is concerned. A SINGLE rogue spore can ruin sterile substrate. You need lab cleanliness be it a LFH or very still & settled air in a SAB.
I would suggest starting with Coir+verm substrates rather than manure. It's probably easier to find, cheaper(sometimes), and more forgiving.

Let's grow mushrooms I highly suggest watching the BRF/PF tek videos and looking into building a cheap and effective SGFC
If you're interested in moving away from the PF tek there's grain/bulk info at the above link and more detailed info below

Keep your chin up. The forum is for helping people sort this stuff out and to advance cultivation.
It can be confusing. If it were easy, then there would be no need for the forums anymore.
bodhisatta is correct. You can't mix an unsterilized material in to something that is sterilized. Nothing was sterile except that bag of manure and it was no longer sterile when you opened it in the open air. It's a recipe for disaster.
You don't have to use manure either. You can mix vermiculite and coco coir instead. But yes, pasteurize it, don't sterilize it.
bodhi beat me to it.

just as an update on the one I dropped the cake into, no contams, and mycelium is colonizing very nicely, would say 60% done, the other one is still in the freezer, sorry, just got super busy and never got around to getting the silicone, but so far so good.

Got pins, hell yea, super stoked. doesn't look fully colonized like a cake does, but there is mycelium all over it, I guess manure has a different look when fully colonized. but a ton of pins on both sides, looks like its gonna look nice, il post pics in a day or two when the pins are a bit bigger.

Maybe someone can help me with this, I've got a few really large size fruits that have been coming up for days now, all of them small and large are really fuzzy all the way up the stems and they are growing damn tall, and just keep growing taller, I am thinking that fae isn't very efficient, so I opened the bag, after I pick than dunk, should I put it back in the bag and close it off? Or Leave it open?
It's hard to believe that with a sgfc you have so many holes, and have to fan multiple times a day, and that barely takes care of fae, but with this, ppl say far is adequate with just that little patch and no openings, these are the biggest nicest shrooms I've gotten so far though. So is fruiting in the closed bag the best for all flushes u think?

Cool, so you think I should just open it up a couple times a day and fan a bit?
 Took a couple mushrooms just now before the veil broke, but that's one side.
