Don't let the perlite touch the cakes.
It looks like aerial mycelium to me. Needs more FAE.

I'm also a first time grower, but judging from my experience and from what I've seen, it looks like mycelium.
I would not recommend taking up the cake, it shouldn't be fiddled around with :wink:

Good luck!

Mycelium. Also looks like it can get a misting ATM. Idk about the needing fae. Could be a possibility, but it actually looks pretty good to me.

Also you can totally pick cakes up. Some do to mist the sides of them 1 by 1 evenly. It works great for them

Should I place the cakes on foil? I saw a lot of people doing that. For more FAE should I place a fan in the room?

No fans in the sgfc tek, and using lids is fine mate.

Def no fan if it is in a SGFC. Just crack a window nearby if you haven't already. As long as you followed the tek properly, everything should be fine.

And to follow up Mad Season's point, how often have you misted?

I mist 4-5 times a day. How long should I crack window? I haven't done that yet.

When I used a SGFC I left it open all day. If your climate has reasonable RH% (above 30% IME), you should be fine. It will create natural air currents in the room and shouldn't dry out the perlite too fast.

I've had my heat set at 75. I will open the window tomorow I do not live somewhere where I can keep windows open all day. My perlite is keeping damp. Should I put a fan into the hallways so it can push fresh air into the room?

Crack the window when you can but I'd try the hallway idea, just set in on low and don't let it blow too hard into the room. Like a slight breeze. Though technically you may not be getting "fresh air" it's better than having a stale, deadened room.

Ok I'm going to try the fan and crack the window when I can. If it's chilly out do I have to worry about the room getting too cold? The fan will not be directly hitting my SGFC directly because it is in the corner of the room.

It is cold where I'm at as well. As long as the temps stay above 65F you should be good. Colder temps causes the fruits to be bigger but may take slightly longer to get to their size.

I have people on other threads saying my cakes look like they are fighting a bacteria but everyone here thinks they look ok. I am confused.
