Is my tub ok?

Hey guys, I have a big tupperware tub that Ive mixed 3 8oz jars of substrate and 5 8oz jars of aa 4:1 coir:verm mix. (sterilized). I made holes and stuffed it with pillow stuffing.
I put it away to colonize around 2 or 3 days ago. And so far it look ridiculously healthy to me, colonizing everything and looking white and lively.
The myc has started to puff up like cotton balls, though it looks beautiful I want to make sure its not a ailment of myc?

Did you "sterilize" or "pasteurize" the coir/verm?
How large are the holes of the tupperware? What tek did you follow in constructing the tupperware?
The holes should be taped up for colonization. I also feel like the container is not going to provide enough FAE when it comes time to fruit.

I sterilized it, Frank Horrigan's post confirmed that sterilizing coir is fine. Also, i have had success before sterilizing my coir.
I didn't follow a tek with the tupperware, I was experimenting on my own. The holes are about 1/4 inch. What kind of tape do you suggest?
Come time to fruit, I could just take the lid off and fan.
and yeah, she was there so i snapped it, lol

Regular duct tape will work fine 
I read somewhere that FAE needs to be constant during the fruiting period. The monotub/sgfc design will achieve this constant FAE.
However, I'm not sure if fanning can replace the constant FAE needed for a good fruiting condition. Wait for more experienced members to chime in though!

I have a SGFC with perlite, reptile fogger hooked up to it and holes all around that I will be fruiting it in.
Im just concerned whether or not that the puffy cottonball behavior of the mycelium is a bad thing.

this is normal for a MS inoculation. If you want only rhizomorphic Mycelium you have to isolate a strain by doing some agar work. IMO, your 'experiment' should work if you fruit it inside the SG fruiting chamber when its fully colonized. just remove the lid.

ok, so the myc looks healthy? puffing up isn't a sign of any ailment? its not lacking water/air/whiskey? lol.
