myc looks matted after misting?

I have 8 small coir trays in my sgfc. When I put them in there the mycelium was nice and fluffy but after I misted the trays the mycelium now looks matted It has been like this for 5 days now with no signs of pinning. It is not cased so I know it isn't overlay. Unfortunately I can't post pictures because I use my phone and don't have a computer. Should I stop misting? Or is it normal for myc to go from fluffy to matted when trying to fruit? This is my first grow.

SGFC...my guage reads 90% RH and I fan and mist it about 4 times a day...the mycelium looks smooth...shouldn't it be fluffy like they were before I misted and put them in fruiting conditions?

Hard to say without pics....you have 1/4" holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides?

I know I wish there was a way I could post pics with my phone...I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens and maybe mist less?

I've seen this happen before, that shouldn't be of any concern if it's the same as what happened to me, but like pussyfart said, pics are worth a 1,000 words and would give other members more info than what you can describe.

I will try to post pics again when I get home from work...I'm trying to be patient but I've been working on this for over a month now and I would hate to see it all go down the drain. Who knows maybe when I get home all my trays will have pins that would make my day!

If you can, download the Imgur app for your device, or you can go to m.imgur.com and upload from your phone that way.

I get this matting sometimes, sometimes it even turns yellow if I do a quick dunk... but pins still pop up right through it.
I have a sub that is soooo yellow and matted and shrunken so much I thought it was spent.. I was just waiting on new jars to finish to dump the tub and boom.... a whole new pinset pops up through the mat
Is that true about overlay? I always hear people talking about it but i know nothing about it

Ya I noticed alittle bit of a light yellowish color on 4 of the trays in spots...I really think I have been misting them to much because there is alot of droplets on top of the myc so I'm going to hold off misting for a couple of days to let the water evaporate some...I read this is a pinning trigger to

Seriously? You have a smartphone and can't figure out how to get pictures up?
1. Take pics 2. Email pics to yourself 3. Open on PC 4. Either upload to imgur first or direct upload to shroomery 5. ???? 6. Profit

why do people SWIM on the shroomery yet they upload their grow pics to imgur?!? Upload here, link here, alternative upload for phone uploads. there's a sticky on the main page of MC.
