Are these golden pins contaminated?

Hey ya'll. I've have some of these bags in my new chamber for 2 weeks now. They formed their coral/brain form after about a week and now have slowed way down. I'm concerned that there is some cobweb mold and possibly some other infection on them. The fruiting conditions are constant exhaust, and for the first week and a half, disc foggers in an external bucket with a cpu blower fan. Now the fan runs constantly through a small swamp cooler and the foggers are controlled by a controller keeping the chamber at 88%-95% humidity. I did mist occasionally during the first week as I thought it would trigger pinning. My lights are led waterproof strips.
Thanks for taking a look!

Yeah, that's contaminated. 
What species is that?

Hey MorePies, what's the temp in there and how much FAE are they getting? I typically see tubers (brain coral thing)forming around 69-70F then I move them to the fruiter. It runs between 64-69F and is way drier than 80% rh. They typically finish in 3-4 days. So, could be a combination of factors. Not sure on the contam but maybe Ferather will chime in...he grows golds.

I have constant air in and out.

Weird. Maybe just genetics. How'd you come across these? What's your set up like?

They are from a culture syringe. I grew it out on a plate to look for contams. Looked clean and the went to jar with the wedge. I'll post my setup tomorrow, it's a homemade Martha.

Those corals look farily normal for goldens, my guess is they might have aborted if they stopped growth. Whats your rh?

One reason or another they are deformed, picture 3 bottom right has avoiding rhizo's. Usually this means its avoiding bacteria, or a toxin produced by infection.
There should be cap formations on the tubers, like these:

Picture 4 is discoloured from infection. F**king shame, sorry mate.

RH was fluctuating between 86 and 95. I closed that gap down to 89-95. It's working out to be 4 and a half minutes of foggers on, 4 and a 1/2 minutes off.

Make mistakes, get better.
I'll try a few more and if I'm still getting the same results, time for a new culture and a clean slate.
Thanks for the input!

Indeed, a fail is just a learning curve.
