So many growers have already seen their cakes bounce back FAST after being placed in the Humidity Chamber. It's not too late.

Your cakes get too much FAE no doubt about it. Blue cakes = too much FAE. Hope it works out for you, and link in my sig if you want to try other things with BRF cakes.

When you made your BRF cakes, did you put mustard instead of rice flower? Did you do 1:3:5? Ration instead of 2:1:1:? If you didn't then why didn't you? Is it cause you knew that it maybe wouldn't work as good if you made your own changes to it? You see my point?

nah i didnt use mustard? is that a thing people do? seems like a weird question haha

The first intruction to PF Tek i read and ended up followed came from here
---> https://thethirdwave.co/psychedelics/shrooms/grow-psilocybin-mushrooms/#instructions

i followed it to the t apart from the chamber, i got lazy basically which is why the holes ended up where and how they were. The reason i got that cup of water with the stone is becuase i saw someone else do it on youtube i think to help increase humidity as i work between 10 and 12 hours per day so with the Teks saying fanning and spraying betwen 4-6 times a day i didnt think i would be able to do that so i though that might help solve the problem with that if you get me...

the pinnings in that last photo have probably doubled in size over night again

also ive flipped those two lids over, for some reason i had them upside down.. how embarrassing

You can get that hygrometer right out of there man. Useless for our purposes. The only humidity the matters is right at substrate level and it can't measure that

OP, your cakes aren't moldy.  That blue is just stressed mycelium.  My guess is they are too dry, the fact that the bottom is pinning nicely is a good indicator for that.  I just went through that with a new fruiting chamber, and the cakes looked exactly like that.  Exactly. 

I put them back in an unmodified tub and they recovered and fruited very nicely.  I flipped em upside down so the still-healthy bottoms were up and those pins could develop.

The SGFC is a crap shoot and I think it's a piece of shit personally.  I like the old school unmodified tubs with misting and fanning.

...there is always someone here to tell people having troubles to throw away their mushroom growing project.
