PF tek B+ cake not fruiting

Hey, FOAF has a single 8 oz jar sized BRF B+ cake from spores. It's took a while to colonize the jar, and even grew a tiny little bugger inside. Taken out and put in an FC over a week ago, maybe even two. The mycelium is growing pretty thick and turning blue on one side of the cake where a part of the cake fell off (and virtually no growth at all on the other side). No pinning except for a single weird shaped abort though.
Here's a poor picture. The lighting makes it look really blue all over but in reality it's just the area where there is of the growth.

Any ideas what FOAF is doing wrong?

Another related question:
FOAF got greedy and started some more jars after the first not-fruiting BRF jar. This time from poorly made LC into WBS. He's not sure if whats growing in the jars is actually the right stuff since the from spore BRF cakes and the agar that LC was made from had distinct rhizomorphic growth. These have white fluffy mycelium instead. FOAF does not think it is black pin mold since he's had a lot of black pin mold and knows what it looks like. But then again, he's whole place is covered in black pin mold spores since he's had so much black pin mold. (Actually, he pressure sterilizes all his contaminated jars before cleaning them out now)

Also, some of the LC was put on agar and it there was no mycelial growth whatsoever. Immediately got some sort of yeast looking contamination.
Thanks in advance.
