First Monotub/APE Grow. Need help! (lots of pictures)

Hey guys I spawned 2 mini mono's of APE to coir and verm using the bucket tek on May 26th, 16 days ago.
I fruited them on Sunday June 7th.. 4 days ago.
When I originally fruited them they looked like this:


Then I cased them immediately with a mix of coir, verm, hydrated lime, and gypsum. They looked like this:


Heres some pictures that I took yesterday..:






So the previous pics were going to be the start of a grow log for this operation.. but today after getting off work just a few minutes ago I found some stuff that I don't exactly like. (or understand) :
tub 1
tub 1
tub 1
tub 1
tub 1
tub 2
Sooooooooo......... first of all there is a collection of yellowish goldish liquid on the middle of tub 1. Also in tub 1, there is some yellowish blob near one of the polyfill holes. WTF is this!? I'm gonna lose my mind if it just got contaminated because i chose to put the casing layer on!!!
Secondly.. all the skinny strands of mycelium.. is that "aerial mycelium"? Is that caused by not enough FAE?
-I have a fan running in the room. All 4 long sided walls are stuffed tight, and the two short ends are stuffed real loosely.
-I have been misting and fanning them twice per day because I cant seem to get a for sure answer on the subject. Some say to mist and fan/ some say a mono is set it and forget it..
I guess just tell me guys what you think of these tubs and please let me know what the yellow/gold liquid and spot is.... also if the strands of mycelium are a sign of low FAE and how exactly I should fix them (if i dont have to toss them that is :'( )

The yellow liquid is just metabolites.

looking good man! You made the right decision casing it PE benefits from a casing layer immensely.

You don't want it pooling water on the casing but you don't want it dry either. Keep it damp. I'm not sure if it's pooling or dried out but yellow can come from both.

Updated picture as of today.
Are the blue ones aborts? Not sure if they should be picked or kept growing.

Ape turns blue as it matures. Not aborts.

Blue is a usually a sign of bruising or water droplets. I'd let them grow and just keep an eye on them. Maybe lower the rh a bit.

Thanks for all the help Pasty. You've probably been the most helpful resource in my growing endeavors.
Now after I pick these obvious shrooms.. are the already formed pins still going to be considered the first flush?
I mean do I harvest these large ones when they are ready ( I know some are) and then wait to harvest some more in a few days or do I dunk/rehydrate the sub immediately after picking the large ones. I'm referring to the hundreds of little balls

Give the little ones some time, take the ones that are ready. I like twist n pull for APE balls

I just wasn't sure because I've read some stuff like twisting and pulling will tear up the sub and lower the yield of future flushes/increase chance of contams.
Is there any truth to that?

To be honest I used to mess with cutting and slicing, yet the stumps left behind seem to be a greater contam vector than any divots made by twist and pull.
