Is this contaminated?

https://postimg.org/image/6todj53ar/ https://postimg.org/image/uknr1bvsz/ and next day: https://postimg.org/image/7j75vme5v/ https://postimg.org/image/wp842hxgj/ It's more snow white and fluffy now then it was originally(See first 2 images then next day images). The original photo's were taken as before the cakes were transplanted from sterile jar to cultivation bag.
Sorry if the quality is bad was hard to get a good picture while in the cultivation bag. Any help would be appreciated. I can take more pictures if it would be of assistance. Thanks in advance.

Are people not commenting because impurity is displayed so obvious and I appear an oblivious fool with a twinkle in my eye? Or is it the contrary, where my ponderings are interpenetrated rhetorically? A mist of confusion settles. hehe

If its going fuzzy it'll be due to lack of FAE. Put some more holes the bag

Alright cool thanks. I keep my cultivation bags in a pretty well ventilated room with a fan and stuff and I air the bag at least twice a day, any reason why FAE is so commonly problematic? The guide I was following said to just refresh the air daily, is that not always the case? Thank you.

I've found with bags like you have FAE is a problem. They're more suited for colonizing grains. Are you doing more cakes? If so you would be better off with a SGFC.

Yes I have 4 cakes in total. 2 of which have just fully colonized inside and out and I've just put both of them in a cultivation bag. I will check out SGFC but I have really limited work-space but I'll take a gander. What is the easiest way to gauge FAE and humidity deficiency or abundance without devices for monitoring?

No fuzz and no stretching FAE is good. Humidity will be mist as needed.
SGFC can be any size storage box. I use 80L box. I've got 7 cakes in it. But if you don't have enough cakes then use empty jars to fill the void.

Sweet, that's good to know. I'm learning. I think honestly I wanna just finish up with the bags and dehydrate and store the fruits of my labor. I'll likely be changing living situations soon and I'll experiment with more "lab type" set ups yielding fairer results. I got about 2' x 3' to work with right now haha. You've been a huge help and if you don't mind I wanted to share this picture of the cake. I dunked it overnight and put it back in the bag when I woke up. Is the bluish coloration normal? /

The blue is bruising. It could be too dry or handled roughly. Did you dunk while those pins was there? Looks like some of them pins are aborting. Oh and bruising could be from misting too close.
Dunk after birth then fruit then dunk again after harvest. Don't do it in the middle of a flush.

Yeah It was dunked while those pins were there. I was instructed to do so on another tread I made for advice (see https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25024803)
Anyways yeah this morning I observed some new healthy looking fat pins, however the skinny long pins that were there before I dunked are still dark blue and not growing. Should I cut them out or leave them? Thank again my friend.

Remove them, twist n pull. If left they'll rot and cause bad shit. Leave the ones that look ok remove the dark ones. Also with that lid, turn it so the lip is facing up and bottom water. Change water water every 8 to 12 hrs. Should sort the blueing too.

Ok I've removed the tainted growths. Is it safe and sensible to consume these premature mushrooms? I'm not in a hurry to "feel good" but I do not want to waste anything that could be useful. They would be dehydrated and consumed when the time is right (if it's safe to do so). Now I should flip the lid, then add water to the bottom (so the cake will absorb it) is that what your recommending?

Here's a quick update before I make any changes (after removing the 2 blue stragglers)

Yeah that is what I am recommending with the lid.
You can save aborts on eat them.

Oh no :O Toss or ride it out? Are the pins safe to consume if the cake gives out to contamination?

Yea I hear ya man, I know I need a new chamber. I was following a shitty guide that said to only grow it in a cultivation bag, but that wasn't working due to lack of FAE. I'll go out and get some perlite I guess.
Also you said it looks all good, free of contamination, but whats that yellowish-tan looking discoloration from? I never saw it before? Needless to say overnight the shrooms grew a lot and they seem like they will be ready for harvest soon I hope.

12 hours after the last pic. I think she'll make it till the end. I should throw the cake out after fruiting, if I try to dunk it and refruit it will surely succumb to contamination right?

Them shrooms should be ready soon. Harvest and redunk. If it goes bad you've not lost out as you was gonna chuck anyway.
