Is my rye tray ready? (with pic)

Hey!
I'm leaving town tomorrow for a week. So I have to choose whether to put some trays into fruiting today or after a week - I have a semi-automatic setup and I could let my friend check them, so it'd be okay. Do you think the tray on this picture is done, not done or contaminated? It's rye spawned to coir/verm, ratio 1:1, been colonizing for 9 days.

To me it seems kinda funky.. maybe still okay, but not perfect water content or something... So maybe it's better to hurry with the FAE?

it's hard to tell from that pic but it doesn't look fully colonized. i see a few dark spots. it might help if you take a pic of the top of the substrate. just open it for a sec, it won't hurt to take a peek.
it also wouldn't hurt to let it sit for a week. that's what i'd do. you have small holes in the foil for GE, right?

No holes in the foil. The foil is imperfectly sealed, though. Maybe I'll stay in town for a few more days and see what happens.

Update! This is another tray, a bigger one. What do you think? The fluffy stuff on the surface is cobweb or myc?

Looks like mycelium to me. When I spawned my spawn to sub, it looked just like that.

Thanks for the replies! Would you already put it into fruiting if it was your tray?

Can you give us a pic of the entire surface so we can determine if it's ready? Do you plan on casing? What are you fruiting them in?

From what I've unterstood, when spawned to coir-verm mix, it works kinda like self-casing, so yeah, I wasn't planning to case. I was thinking about spawning them in a couple of big SGFC's.

Okay, a little update. I put the trays into fruiting tonight. They've been colonizing a bit more than 2 weeks for now.

They're in an SGFC, lifted from the perlite with horizontal wires. Probably got to think of something better once they start fruiting.

They look like they should start pinning soon!
Was the sgfc not big enough to fit all the little tubs

Yeah, all 4 of them didn't fit, so I made an extra level for one of them
