Weird, as in...? The yellow-ish myc? I've been trying to figure out what that is exactly, maybe got kinda dry at some point? It happened a little during my first couple BRF cake grows, but they still seemed to do pretty well.

 I still can't find anything explaining the off-white, yellowish mycelium, but it doesn't seem to be doing any harm.

Thank you, and being dry would make sense. It's been extremely cold where I live so we have the heater blasting. I covered the vent and put a decent sized radiator-type heater on the opposite side of the room from my FC, no more blowing air. Gonna see if that helps.

That might be good, on top of the temperature being in the single digits, it's pretty dry here.

I'm going to guess bacteria is causing the yellowing and bubbly-looking mycelium. Check your spawn and substrate prep and see if you can find any improvements to make for next time. Your pinsets are solid, though, so keep doing what you're doing with these trays because it's working.

They look real nice! I have 10 cakes going now and was thinking off using one and trying to do some bulk with a tin. Can I ask what you used for a substrate? Thanks for the help.

Thank you mushboy, freespeech, and cronicr. Bacteria, huh? Damn, okay. I'm pretty crazy when it comes to my sterile technique, but I'll try to be even more thorough in the future. After a few more (successful) grows with trays in a SGFC, gonna build a flow hood and move on to agar and monotubs, so I need to dial everything in. Thank you everyone for all of the help and praise.
harvest time...
