could be the starting of trich, but id wait till a tc throws his 2 cents in.
also your fruiting chamber looks like shit.. use the search engine and learn how to properly build a SGFC.. i don't even see holes on the sides of ur tub, the humidity and fresh air is probably way out of wack.

I have a ventilation fan at the top and also a humidity meter and thermometer pointing to 99% humidity and 24c temperature. Is that not enough?

I see an aweful lot of bruising on those cakes. Build a proper fruiting chamber. Humidity only happens if moisture is allowed to evaporate off of the cake and from air passing through the wet perlite. If you don't have holes in your fruiting chamber, this natural motion of cool dry air can not remove stagnant, co2 laden air from the chamber which can lead to contamination problems. Fresh air is your friend and the more, the better.

Please follow these teks to the T. You did colonization of cakes properly. I don't see why you wouldn't fruit them properly too.. Did you dunk? Might want to think about dunking again and then getting them properly coated in verm. Careful not to slap some pins off the cake.

I don't think it's trich - i've gotten trich too many times in the past It's like my nemesis >.> And I can see that shit from a mile away. But don't rule out contamination as a whole. Cuz it probably is ^_^ lol If it aint myc it's prolly contam.
Definitely make a better SGFC (Shotgun Fruiting Chamber) for your cakes, they will thank you, and you will thank yourself later.
The blue on the side of your cakes and the lack of moisture on the sides of your tubs indicate to me you need to increase humidity and increase moisture - do you even mist bruh? lol jp What's that you ask? >.> How? By taking the SGFC advice - that shit will change your yield and make your cakes thrive compared to what you have going here. Mist and fan a bit each day and the SGFC alone should help manage rh levels.
If your ever rlly worried about a cake or substrate - toss it. Better to be safe than sorry - you don't want contams getting into the air of the home you do your work in and increase risks for future grows.
Take the booms off that cake and cut your losses, toss it - and knock up some more jars.

That ventilation fan is just going to dry your cakes, that explains why the bruising at the top of the cakes. Also dunk and roll is a must, i guess you didn't do it. Make a proper SHFC and don't ever use a fan in the same room where you have your SHFC.

Dunk and Roll for sure.
Get rid of the vent fan, it will dry your shit out (as it already seems to be) Build a SGFC - plz don't justify your grow, we are here to help you improve your game. Better yield, more efficiency. Do the things we've said to do and I guarantee more success.
Sometimes you buy humidity meters and temp gauges that A. Flat out don't work right. B. Are bunk from the manufacturer. I gave up on using gauges - If you just monitor your babies properly you can tell by looking at them, that they are doing just fine - or need a bit of a mist - if you open your lid and its clammy in the box then thats just right. you know?
Seems like your almost there you've got mushies, you know how to make cakes - now you need to improve your fruiting game. How can you improve the amount and quality of your yield.

  please don't!!! Its easily fixed... Just needs a proper chamber with good fae, dunk and roll, and proper misting.
PLEASE READ THOSE LINKS I POSTED FOR MORE DETAILS. FFS PLEASE JUST MAKE A PROPER CHAMBER. YOU HAVE TO NEXT TIME ANYWAYS.
YOU SHOULD JUST MAKE MORE JARS WHILE THESE ARE IN FRUITING.

Don't kill the whole grow op like Mad Season says.
Start by making a SGFC. Transfer your good cakes into the SGFC. Finish fruiting out the "iffy" cakes and toss them. Start making new cakes. It's good to have jars colonizing "on deck."

Like said above. Those cakes are dry as Fuck. No signs of contams. Get rid of that fan. Start misting, you want those cakes to be doing wet.
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Like others have said, I think they are dry, and what is going on on top is dried out mycellium, which turns a yellowish hue.
Your fruiting chamber obviously sucks if they are both dry and starved for oxygen (as evidenced by your elongaged fruits with small caps.) There are ways to go other than an SGFC.
Personally, I'd just throw them in much larger tote, fan it out every day, and mist it every few days. The air requirements of a few cakes are pretty low and don't really come into play unless you shove them in a tiny box with no holes. You could also just cut some holes in that and stuff them with polyfill, and mist.

Some heavily neglected cakes in an underbed tote, given no light, fanned once a day, misted every 3-4, on their 3rd flush.
--------------------
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...

OP build a proper shotgun fruiting chamber. Yeah of course cubes can grow in a closed box, cubes can grow anywhere. Manual fanning does not replace the continual air flow of the SHFC. Continual air flow produces a nice evaporation rate that your cakes will benefit of.
Although i agree that having your cakes inside a closed box manually fanned is much better than right bellow a ceiling fan drying the fuck out of them.
