Just moved to FC

This is my first grow and I'm really not sure if things are going smoothly or not, I did the dunk and roll technique and my brf cakes are starting to get covered with white, hair-like mycelium. I was wondering if anyone can give me some input as to how you think I am doing

Is it sitting on the perlite? It should have a small square of foil under it.

It was labeled as "Amazonian PES" on the website I purchased it from, and the spines bend.

Did you give them a full week of consolidation after they fully colonized?

Weird....I have seen this before....several times(not personally but in threads).....I remember RR saying something about it being bacterial, and that they should break off it it was true.....U say they bend, and I say 
Lol.....seriously.....

I just double checked, they're quite bendy, I even pinched one of them near the top of the cake and I'm starting to see some blue bruising. Would I be safe to say that I could more/larger holes, poly-fill and maybe a fan?

hmmmm I just saw a thread a few days ago that addressed this. I think tagyo had some good input on it, as he had this issue with his first pf-tek grow.
IIRC, bacteria will form more blobby growths, while aerial cube myc will branch out like this. cant rule out FAE cuzz we havnt seen the whole sgfc yet.
look at his cake. its sopping wet. bet that is contributing.

My first cakes I ever made got the finger mycelium just like that. Over misting and bacteria. You would be better off not misting at all than overdoing it

looks like you tried to improvise a fruiting chamber
unfortunately, this generally does not work out.
we generally advise 2 different types of FCs, a shotgun-fruiting chamber, and a monotub. while constructing these, you need make them as close to the directions as possible. these chambers have been tested hundreds if not thousands of times. you gotta go by the tek when making your FC.
while there may be other contributing factors to this odd growth, its no doubt that the fruiting chamber its in is not an ideal environment.

More perlite, and all you need is 1/4 holes 2 inches apart in grid pattern on every side to make it a sgfc
