Is this Mold or Mycelium on the cakes?

Its been like 4 or 5 days and no mushroom growth to be seen on these cakes and I start to suspect it is white mold, even tho it looks like mycelium and smells like mycelium.

It's reacting to some bacteria, which means it's been wet and low on fresh air. There's no perlite.. Can you not find it in your area? Do you have holes drilled on the bottom or top? And is it raised off the surface, and away from walls for air to flow under the chamber and around the chamber? Your cakes should be fine for a few flushes, just expect a lower yield. Yours isn't as bad as this example. Just mist when they're damp, and mist until glistening. Kinda like in the pic

Poor FAE looks like this

Here is what the OP has. Excuse the RR quote.

That's contaminated with bacteria. If it were aerial mycelium, the strands would be individual, not all bundled up and shiny like that.
In the future, don't keep things so wet. Don't mist as soon as the sides of the terrarium dry out. The holes cause the sides and roof to dry out long before the cakes do. You got things too wet, and then kept them that way. I'd bury those in a shady spot outside in some well manured soil and hope for the best. RR
See the difference?
Granted the OP's tub is not that bad. But there is still bacteria in there. I imagine he will see a few flushes and get some fruits. But why not teach people how to do things better. Bacteria in spawn is a mold vector. Lets improve ourselves.

Thanks for checking out Mad Season. There is no perlite in area where I live, so I use clay balls( Have worked really well in previous grows). Yeah I have holes an so. Prolly there is too much water and not much fresh air. Gonna move this box in other location with more fresh air and see what happens.
