Oyster mushrooms looking wierd...need help

Hi guys, this is my first attempt in growing mushrooms. I followed the cardboard tek and cloned store-bought Oyster mushroom. After mycelium spread on the cardboard I transferred it to jar with BRF mixture...colonization was really fast and mycelium was strong.
After some time I spotted strange growth in my jars in vitro so I thought that it was pins and I birthed the cake. Now it continues to grow...is it normal or some sort of contamination...Thanks!

Looks like some perfect blue oyster pins to me! Nice work! Now just keep the fresh air coming so the stems don't stretch out and you'll be golden.

Those look great, and don't be afraid to mist the hell out of them as often as you can, oysters don't mind direct misting.
But as mentioned, airflow is the most important thing at this point. Get as much as you can, it just might help to mist more to compensate for the lost moisture when you increase the airflow.

Blues like it cool. Shoot for low 60s if possible. But they will fruit up to 75 I think.
