heh, lol no it was a joke. back in the days we used aquariums and drip shields. mushrooms still grow even without holes in the chamber they just grow so much better with fae.
Basic principles of the sgfc the chmber with holes you gonna build

I'm not saying OMG ur cakes are contamzorz throw away before your whole city is covered in green spores. Just that a small amount of bacterial growth somewhere in the cakes may have triggered them to produce gimpy fruit early.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

Grow kits are frowned upon. They are often prone to contamination and have outdated instructions. Don't worry about the drip shield thing, it's not needed. Just get the holes in the tub ASAP. Mist/fan and you're golden.

I don't know why people would frown on grow kits... Probably because it's just a lot cheaper to do it yourself... and so easy. PF tech tells you exactly what to do...
Grab a screw driver, and every 2 inches or so, get that sucker hot and punch a hole. Your small fruits are a direct results of bad FAE. They like still moist air that has O2 replacement. a SGFC works on the principle that one gas is heavier than the other, so the heavier gas pulls out the bottom, and fresh air gets sucked in through the top.
Or is it the other way around? Doesn't matter... it's what you need to do.

They really don't look oxygen starved too me. Those fruits tend to have fuzzy disproportionately large stems with small, underdeveloped caps. These mushrooms are to scale, just small. Had two bacterial trays, both spat out tons of tiny fruits, refused to colonize the casing, and had soggy overhydrated stems. Genetics is another possibility.
OP, did the stems feel mushy and weak? This is another factor I noticed with bacterial fruits.
Not to say it's not a bad idea to finish his SGFC.

Get into agar and monotubs and you'll see some thickums for sure.

wrong, gasses are infinitely miscible an in open atmospheric conditions no gasses we are concerned with settle out. co2 doesn't even settle out in inclosed 2500gallon fermentation tanks nor does it kill everyone working in a brewery from all of the active fermentation. co2 mixes, but does form a concentration gradient from the source. co2 in very high concentrations will "pour" out of a container but mixes extremely quickly with the surrounding air.
the principles of SGFC physics are in the second link in my signature.
