Monotub early fruiting

My monotub has been taking an exceptionally long time to colonize, it has been about one month and the top is maybe 40 or 50% colonized. Now we are seeing little skinny mushrooms growing out of the surface, that have tiny brown heads. I have never heard of or seen these before, so I'm wondering what might be going on and what to do. From the research I've done, it seems the only option is to put into fruiting and hope for the best. The tub is a big I think 60 qt and the sub is 1 brick coir mixed with verm. For spawn we used 15 half pint BRF jars, which I now realize was a mistake and next time we'll use WBS. The fact that we used BRF cakes is probably a good contributor to the problems encountered. Please let me know what you think might be going on and what to do. Should we just fruit? Thanks!

Where do you suppose the tape came into play? I can't see a liner or GE holes. Not sure what he's got going here.

That substrate looks really wet, that's bad, and there's little to no holes in that tub to provide much needed FAE to grow healthy fruits. Try to drill two holes on each side (about 1-2in in diameter) and one on each short side, then dial it in (bottom stuffed tight, top stuffed loosely). The next flush should come in stronger, only if trich doesn't strike first.

There are holes,they are taped up because the bin wasnt done colonizing but will now uncover them and stuff with polyfil and introduce light. Does it matter how big exactly they are and where they are?
