Keep letting it colonize.
It looks fine. How much spawn did you use and how big is that tub?

You don't have to keep the tub in the dark for it to colonize properly. Let it keep going for another 3-4 days then check on it again.

Old myth. People used to believe that taking a picture with flash on would induce fruiting . Truth is, even if you invoke FAE at the first signs of mycelium, it'll keep colonizing until it fruits. For instance, a casing can get devoured by a culture even though FAE was introduced.
I'm gonna guess it's a big tub with low spawn. It actually looks like rhizomorphic growth. Look at the tub he's using lol, how the hell are you gonna get light in there?

Is your lid at least clear? I hope so, or you're gonna have a fun time trying to get light in there come fruiting.

Saran Wrap will work if using a good tape. I Cut a large Square section from the middle of my grey monotubs lid with a soldering iron. I used a strong saran Wrap with some foil tape inside to hold it in place (good stuff) I would post pictures of my tub shortly-

Yeah your spawn ratio is low, that's whyi t's taking so long. How big is the tote?

Shit, Your whole tub is blue ?..
You should allow it to fully colonise before altering the lid but it would be worth doing, Not much light will get to them mushrooms with a full blue tub.
I used something called Aluminium Foil Tape - Its like foil but has glue on one side. I used it on the underside of my lid to tape down the saran wrap. Any old tape like duct tape would be work but the foil is a good light reflector.
(My Opinion on what you need to change or add to this tub to keep it healthy) My first concern was how un-even the Substrate / spawn mix is.. White mycelium should be all over the tub, the top right corner of the your tub has lacked the spawn therefore its slow, a bit late now but can be improved for next time. Secondly the air holes are a little bit too high. I Like my air holes almost substrate level, maybe an inch higher

A more sturdy bet is packing tape. You put the first layer down on top then cover the sticky side of he tape with more tape. Sticky side to sticky side. Just don't remove too much of the lid or you lose stability and rigidity. That's what I did with my sgfc and lost a lot of stability the tape helped though.

Looks like a good idea Jonr. Its similar to mine but the tape and parafilms on the inside of my lid,
(green = tape)
