Unknown white growths

Noticed these white growths coming out of my casing. They look similar to pins but I can't see any heads on them. I have no idea what they are, any ideas? Sorry for the photo was the best I could do.

Looks like they could be oyster pins.. Where did you get your spores?

I can't remember which site I got them from, but I don't think it was a sponsor. I got them before I was regular to the site. They were suppose to be PE spores

Today there are orange specs on the tips but still no visible cap to it. Any other opinions on what it is or does everyone agree on oyster pins?

Whatever it is, it looks like it's in desperate need of some FAE

It's the truth. Those are pins that have aborted due to lack of fresh air exchange. What are you fruiting that in? That container you are using needs holes punched in it to allow the mycelium to breathe a bit. Posting a pic of your entire setup would help greatly.

The thing is, they're not cube pins. I got messed over by going to an unreputable spore dealer. They have no caps. I've had aborts before but they have caps. these have none. It's a bag grow and that's just one side it has holes punched in it. Trying to figure out what they are...Also they're still growing so can't be aborts..I'll try to get some better pics and post them in a little.

There is still a chance that they are cube pins, just extremely underdeveloped and lacking in fresh air exchange, as I've mentioned before. If I were you, I would punch bigger holes in it and stuff lightly with polyfil.
Next time, make it from scratch, and growing will become a lot easier. I never trust growkits, skipping steps only leads to problems. But, I bet you can get a decent flush if you follow my advice. Good luck and post those pics!!

They look like very neglected cube pins. Cut one in half and watch it turn blue

I didn't think to pick one and break it. Just did so at your request though and no bluing. Still white with a slighty yellowish tint on the inside

What the heck are you guys talking about..
As of right now, you cant tell that it is lacking FAE or aborted pins (they look black)
We need better pictures and you need to give it more time.
What kind of chamber do you have that thing in? Are you doing the grow in a bag?
How long has the PE been colonizing?

It's growing in the bag yes. It's been colonizing for a while. Not sure on an exact time but a couple weeks at least. They are starting to develop a very slight cap, it's a very light gold but it's very very small. I have a couple more pics but they're still not great just closer. Hope it helps though, any advice is appreciated.

Now we can say we have a FAE problem.

Ok, I can work on that. Just punched some more holes in the bag just above the casing. Any ideas on why the pins look like they do? They're not fuzzy yet because of the FAE but they're hella skinny and the caps are almost non existent. My last grow was a different kind of cube but the pins looked night and day different than these do.

You can grow nearly every single spore sold by every company and it will look the same. You cannot identify, unless the mushroom has been bred for specific characteristics, like Penis envy. As for the pins, they are long and skinny because the lack of FAE. Fuzzy feet is another sign, so is elongated stems.

I see. Why no caps really though? Does that have to do with FAE as well? Even though PE caps are small compared to the rest of the fruit I would still think they would be bigger than that right?

I don't know, is it getting enough light? Light is pretty important in cap formation.
