You should be flaming the tool between every inoculation. The only time I let my scalpel cool is before I start a session because I flame the scalpel half way up the handle instead of PCing it, so the rest of the handle gets hot. I will re-flame the blade when it's time to do a transfer and again when it's time for another.
But apart from that, I don't see anything in your method which explains this contam. You could (and should) use 2hr cycles though, both to see if that is your vector and to avoid any possible ones in the future. 1.5hrs is like the minimum for a grain sterilization cycle, I never go below 2hrs personally.

Thank you for help. I will try 2+ hr pressure cooking.
These are some pics of my new fruiting chamber. I am trying monotube, The mushrooms which I am pointing to in pictures seems to be dying. all other mushrooms from same kit grow very very slowly. sometimes i think they are not growing at all. other pins from same kit looks like not growing too. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

edge shrooms are because noobs think humidity is way more important than air exchange, air exchange seems to scare noobs they think air is dirty and going to contaminate their grow, even though fresh air is the number one thing to keep a grow from contaminating.
that's been repeated for a long time but noobs like to do feel the bern level research and only find the shittiest sources.

Does my monotub lack FAE? Air conditioner is on most of the time and it is blowing next to them.

If that is tape over the holes then yes they are lacking FAE.

Yeah, I hope that tape has some holes in it at least. Those poor things would be suffocating in there.

picture #2: Blue Surgical Mask. same as above with 3 layers.
picture #3: Surgical head cover. the green one which is a fabric/tissue very similar to the thin blue layer of surgical mask. thin layer.

#2

#3

Is it a good Idea to cover the lower holes with 3M tape and the top holes with face mask?

Keep monotube sterile? how? I thought it is in open air and there is no way of keeping it sterile. I'm an amu but as I know there is no way of sterilizing the fruiting part of job.

To be fair, the title is misleading.
