Contamination? EQ

Hey All,
First time in a long time growing, second time ever, first post here. I put these two in my FC 8-9 days ago, and I'm trying to figure out if I'm looking at contamination or primordia/pins. The formations started out as little white bumps. As they started to elongate, the tips started turning the tannish color you see in the pics.
-The strain is Ecuador. -Dunked for 23 hours after birthing. -I fan/mist ~2-3 times a day. -If I notice pooled water anywhere in the FC, I won't mist for a day or so, and I'll fan more vigorously. -If I notice the humidity seems low, I'll mist a little more heavily. -The FC has no drilled holes. -The FC sits, sealed, in my closet every day, except during misting/fanning. -The closet light stays on for 10-12 hours while I'm at work. -It's kind of hard to tell, but each tan tip is connected to a finger like, white structure. The area between the "fingers" is a white, semi-see through material.
As I cannot seem to find much information on early Ecuador development, any help would be much appreciated.
Respectfully, Kreatin

In the case that it's bacteria, should do a light mist with Hydrogen Peroxide?

That's hilarious!! XXXDD Okay, how about taking the top off and replacing it with an air filter for central heating and air? Cheaper than a drill
Lol, thanks. Good to be here

Lol, I made my first SGFC with a knife.
I do not recommend it.
-------------------- Don't like researching posts? Read this! . Also, if you're new and your posts contain the words: Humidifer, incubator, air-stone, or heater, then you need to read and UTFSE before asking people to review your setup. OR... You should be cultivating reptiles and fish, not mushrooms.

Lol, well, tomorrow is payday, and I think I found a cheap drill. Hopefully we'll see some real progress after I let my babies breath.
Thanks for the input. I'll let you know what happens after I drill.....if I remember :P

If that was suppose to be a statement it is a pretty bad one.
If it's a question - than still..... no....
Hydrogen Peroxide is only good for ONE thing. Which is cobweb.
You don't have cobweb.

What if all day you were only allowed to take a breath during the 10 seconds you spend misting 2-3x/day? Some people are in to choking themselves while jacking off. Mushrooms aren't. It looks like mycelium reaching out for air and begging you to stop the sick sex games. Build a proper fruiting chamber. Are you doing a tray? I can't tell. Build a mono or SGFC.
And no. Peroxide should ONLY be used for cobweb mold, which you don't have. It won't kill your bacteria, but it will weaken your mycelium and make it more prone to contams. Just put the peroxide away...

You don't have cobweb.
And even then it's shit. You have to have a pretty damn good eye to spot cobby at a stage worthy of peroxide. (no bigger than a pog disc) shit takes like 2 hours to get that big, and blends in with a bulk sub quite nicely

Quick update. The tan tips have shrunk and turned into a darker brown color. I tried to keep the container open for a few hours at a time, but that didn't seem to help. Currently drilling holes into a 105qt tote. I think I'm going to use fresh perlite and rinse off the cakes when I go to transfer to the new SGFC. Any other suggestions?

That feeling when the things you've said 100s of times finally start making waves and you hear them repeated.

What are you rinsing them off for?
What you're describing needs some pictures to back it up.. no idea what this "tan tips shrunk" business is about..
