Looks like mutant blobs that are waaaay to wet. You have water pooling up on the sub surface. Let that shit dry a little.

Bacteria thrives in overly wet conditions. I'm pretty sure that's what's happening with both of you.

You're probably right. I don't mist it, I make it rain. Gonna not mist so heavy on the future. Where it isn't cased I fear the surface running dry.

Hmm makes sense. I work all day and I guess I over compensate watering since I'm away for so long. How do I know if my humidity is right in a monotub?

just a beginner here so take with grain of salt and all that but the way i understand it is

humidity is a measure of moisture in the air and there is nothing in the air so its not nearly as important as moisture on the surface where the mycelium is.

initially the tub will create tiny droplets (individual beads) all over the surface on its own once colonized. this will be the "lightly misted look" you want, similar to the look of a single pump of windex on a window.

maintain that surface condition and the mycelium will benefit from absorbing it AND from it evaporating away. (too high RH and nothing evaporates, no bueno)

the more fresh air it gets the more OFTEN it will need a LIGHT misting, the less fresh air the less often the light misting.

but if it gets lots of air and it gets misted HEAVY instead of OFTEN (and light) the performance of the tub will suffer in relation to how big a swing the surface goes thru from getting too dry and then getting misted too much.

i just tossed a 12qt tub trying to figure this out better as i was misting too often and too much.

im probably not the best source of info but i thought i would share my recent experience as it appears to relate to your situation.

Forgot that my camera takes epic macro shots. This is what the surface of you substrate should look like. Tiny droplets, perfect micro-climate.
