Not quite sure what you have going on there, your cakes on top of a sub of some sort? You need to get those in a proper sfc asap

I filled the bottom of the container with Expanded clay (i believe that is what it's called) and put a layer of water, and on top of the clay i placed a plastic cover/plate with vermiculite.

From what i was told the clay keeps the humidity up

Why put all the time and effort into making the cake just to try and kill it?

Make a shotgun fruiting chamber. It will fix almost all of your problems.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20195542#20195542

Mushrooms have needs. Humidity is important but fresh air is VERY important as well.

Check out the link and we can go from there. I like your style, growing to experience your first trip, and we will do all we can to make this grow a success.

Welcome btw

There's no air flow, and just because you have water on top of clay doesn't mean it creates humidity, it doesn't. The mechanics of a cake fruiting chamber is all about airflow and water evaporation off the perlite in the bottom of the chamber to create humidity

For a quick fix op, that chamber you have could be converted to mini sgfc fairly easy. Remove the cakes, dump out the clay, remove the tape covering the holes, drill more holes on the sides, top and bottom of the container. Put a few inches of moist perlite in the bottom, place cakes back in container on top of pieces of foil, make sure foil is cut just a tad bigger than the diameter of the cakes.

I bought two of the same containers, i shall try to build a Shotgun FC from it, i think i understand that concept of evaporating and creating humidity now. but i do not have any perlite at the moment. Could i use something else?, or would it be wiser to obtain perlite instead?

vermiculite would not be able to do the job? (this is probably a dumb question)

No verm will not work, best bet is to get perlite.
