Shotgun tub issue (yellow mold)

I have had this shotgun tub growing for a week and a half with no pinning. For the last four days I have been fanning and misting 3 times a day. When i mist i spray 4 squirts from the top level of the container. A yellow mold has been growing ontop the perlite and the mycellium as you can see in the pictures. Any advice?

your sub looks to b dry and covered in knotting, that plastic you have your sub on is stopping your perlite from working properly, how does it smell?

It smells mushroomy, How is the lid stopping the perlite from working? To counter the dryness should i do heavy misting 3 times a day?

Yeah, get it off of that lid, and put it on a piece of foil about the same size as the cake. The lid is likely blocking airflow up through the perlite. You've got holes on the bottom of the tub, right?

So like 300 dollars later and countless hours invested it still comes to failure? Damn, how does anyone get psychedelics these days. There is no good source for pure dmt, mimosa is dangerous to order, mushrooms are extremely difficult and expensive to grow(alteast for me) I went in the woods almost every other day this summer and did not find one psychedelic mushroom. Lol sorry for my sob story needed to get that out.

There's more plants besides mimosa hostillis that contain the dmt-nn, an honest little birdy told me. The best way to ensure purity is to learn to swim. I s'pose that's a discussion for another forum, however.

EDIT: What method did you use? Who told you to make this cake this way?
Why did you go for the giant cake? 300 dollars? What did you spend 300 dollars on? Was this a kit? Your sgfc doesn't look built to spec. Can you take a pic further away from the chamber? I want to see the size of the shotgun fruiting chamber and the enviroment it's in. Is there a fan or an open window in the room?
For 50 dollars you can make 10 small wide mouth half pint jars with brown rice flour and vermiculite and have enough mushrooms to trip every week for 3 months. http://www.mushroomvideos.com/ ; If you start tomorrow, following this method to the LETTER (do not change anything) you will have more mushrooms than you know what to do with in 28 days. All for the low low street-level price of two bags of mushies.

Were you misting with like well water or something? Im a noob but i think that could cause yellowing if you used well water.

Yes I am misting with well water lol, is that the problem? Im scared to fan this stuff now because I don't want to be waving contams into my face. And is there any way to get cheaper spores? Because thats my main cost is buying a new syringe every time I fail.

Wow. I'm not sure how your going through that much in spores but you need to start using less. This stuff should not be that hard.
I doubt that the well water is your problem Looks to me like you need to learn how to follow a tek. Is your SGFC elevated? Are there holes in a 2" grid on all six sides? Why are you attempting to do a big ass cake before you have any success with little ones?
You need to slow down and start reading. Watch the video elastical tiger posted. Watch it many times. Do shit exactly the same. Good luck.

You can learn how to make liquid culture so you don't use up all your spores. You need extra syringes though

If OP is having contam issues the last thing he should be doing is making LC with spores. In fact, no one should be making LC with spores. It would be better for him to learn agar. One drop of spores to a plate is all he'd need.

so true LC's although work for some and have worked for me in the past are to easily messed up. with that said yes agar is the way to go or g2g to increase your stock. i inoculate grain jars to use as transfers and shoot a little drop on some agar or clone some of my grains or fruit tissue to PDA
