Been getting some fuzzy looking myc growth on these cakes. Think they just need more FAE, or am I looking at some sort of contam?

You can't give cakes more or less FAE. You put them in a SGFC that has hundreds of holes. They get plenty of FAE and FAE is not adjustable in a SGFC.

That's mold IMO. How long did it take to grow that big?
It might be the picture but i think I see more mold on the bottom of the cake.

I'd like to assume at least a week. If I fan out the chamber after a good misting it kind of flattens out a bit. Reminds me of a not to pretty version of this weird growth I had on my first cake.

Was a culture. Looked amazing too up until the end. Our air is dirty as fuck.

There's little nat looking bastards that have been around. If they took a bite outta the mycelium after sitting on some black mold or cobweb, that would have done it, yeah?

So now what? I've got one tray left that doesn't seem to have any contamination, but I'm scared to put in the fruiting chamber, smh.

Cakes are pretty contam resistant once fully colonized. I'm not sure I'd blame the gnat but gnats are never good around anything..  If I were you I'd take a closer look at the culture.  Was it on Agar or a liquid culture? LC's are never for sure clean until you grow them out to see.

That's the thing. I did three or four transfers from agar to agar and then eventually did agar to LC, and the LC worked flawlessly in three cakes and a tray. The tray is the only thing that survived cause it's on the other side of the room. The sgfc is under the t5 near some cacti that I had to take in for the winter.

Am thinking I may need to spray down the whole sgfc with watered down hydrogen peroxide
