Reishi antlers producing yellowish dust when touched, help please!

Hey guys, I've been recently growing Reishi (Ganoderma Lucidium) and got a fairly good harvest the first time although it seemed that they started to stall and didn't really mature
 And when I was harvesting them they produced this yellowish powder on my finger, which is weird because I though only conks produce spores.. And when i was slicing them up, there was this blackish centre which I thought was mold or something, but I think its just how it looks on the inside (correct me if I'm wrong).
This is my second grow, I'm trying to produce conks now so I'm putting it outside with the plastic sheeting lid off at night till dawn, because temperature in the day here goes above 40 Celsius , but at nights its around the 30s and the humidity around 70-80% (And I put it inside the house in the day with the plastic sheeting lid on with long cuts just so it can can a fair amount of oxygen).
 As you can see the base is loosing some of the yellowish tint for some reason, please inform me if its a problem or if its ok. Can anyone tell me if this grow is going good and what I can do to make it better with the given situation and if some expert could also give me more ideas on how to get better conk formation in this enviroment please do!

I don't have answers but I'd like to see what an experienced reishi grower says.
Shouldn't G Lucidum produce a 'redder' looking fruit?

If it's powdery i would worry about a mycoparasite on it. But I'm having that color on fruits of the spororksstrain, it feels a bit fabric like, but not powdery.

Are the mycoparasites harmful if i consume reishi by boiling it for 2 hours?
And ye it feels kinda like fabric but my hands have this yellow powder when i rub it..

It seems you had too little airflow in the beginning, The base of the stipes are rough, The powder could be pieces of mycelium breaking off from this part. This tends to happen when grown in bags and similar containers with low airflow, sometimes it can happen far up the stipe.
Ganoderma spores are also brown for future reference, not yellow.
Post a cross section and I can tell you if that is what it is supposed to look like on the inside.

Thanks for reading my post Mrcloudy, i always knew that reishi spores were rusty brown, but i was intrigued because it made this yellow powder so i thought about asking...
Since we have that out of our way, what do you recommend i do to fix this, since i have low humidity (in the day 40%, and night is 60-80%) in my area and its really hot outside (+40c) in the day, i put it outside in the night though because the temp tends to be quite forgiving (30-35c), but the humidity isn't that good, so i think ill put the bucket in an SGFC, do you think that would be beneficial?
I will post the cross section after i harvest them, because these babies are taking their ass sweet time

So the antlers seem to be stalling, but the white tops didn't turn red
The sub seems to have shrunken, some parts aren't even touching the walls
Should I harvest them? or wait till it turns red?

Here you go brother..

As you can see the sub is shrinking away from the tub, and some of the antlers still have a whitish tip (some yellowish though)

So should i harvest it Mrcloudy?
If i do, do you think dunking it for 48 hours will put out a 2nd flush or should i not even bother?

I would probably harvest it, I think you might have better results fruiting in something other than a bucket.
Some people have good results with a monotub like set up.
