First bulk monotub. Does everything look okay?

Hi there,
First attempt at a monotub after doing a few small-scale trials. Nocced up rye jars around Aug 15 and they were at full colonizaiton by the 27th ready for moving to monotub. So I followed the coir tek as I did before, put them in the tub and left it for 10 days. Moved to fruiting on the 6th and they've been getting fresh air and light since then.
Does everything look healthy to you? I see lots of puffballs and there is humidity on the lid of the tub (removed for photo).
As always, I appreciate the feedback.

There are. But they are solid yellow and fuzzy, almost feel/look like a cap. What could it be? Looks like marbles or hard obkects rather than like a mold.

It's some kind of bacteria I wouldn't be touching it fibbing you a higher chance of spreading it around if it doesn't go green before you flush that would be good if it does stick it outside or isolate in another room

It's just a reaction of the mycelium. It's probably encountering bacteria in your sub, releasing metabolites, and puffing up a bit. It's not that big a deal. Just give plenty of fresh air, and be on the lookout for the real threat: mold.

Thanks.
After reading up a bit more, there were a few things I screwed up that could be the cause of this. It has been HOT in my area in the last month, and I haven't had the A/C on all day, so it's been up around 80+ in my apartment during the day. The substrate also looks a little bit too wet.
So I've removed a bit of the polyfill on the bottom holes to get some air flowing a bit better and dry it out a bit. Hopefully it's just the metabolites and a need to get the substrate a bit dryer.
