Spent cakes are regrowing! I need suggestions

I put some spent cakes in some soil I acquired from a vegetable greenhouse. I crushed the cakes, threw in some coffee grounds, mixed it around and left it on my porch in a pot without drain holes (I wish I had considered drain holes but maybe it helped that I didnt) I don't know what the soil was composed of but they call it shit dirt so it must be some type of manure/ soil mix. Anyways I forgot about it, let it sit in the rain, cold weather, etc for about a month. I figured it was done so I was going to use it to start a new compost pile, dumped it out and got a very pleasant surprise. It essentially turned into a bulk sub so I threw it in a new tub and placed the lid on it but left it cracked for FAE. Can anyone help me with any suggestions on what I should do next?

Also it was soaked so I drained as much water as I could. It's sitting right out of the reach of direct sunlight but it's pretty warm today. I'm hoping it'll warm up and the evaporation will make it pop

Some vermiculite ontop as a casing layer maybe? I'd mist it to make sure there's some condensate inside the box. I'd also make sure the room it's incubating/pin forming is at a good temperature but not mega different from the outside conditions it was it. If you feel it's lacking nutrition consider adding a few worm castings, could be a winner there

Thanks I'll definitely sprinkle some verm on it. It's still outside in the sun, it was soaked from the lack of drain holes in the pot it started in. It's like a mini green house in there, hopefully it dries the excess water out by night time. I have a feeling the day of sunlight will make these pins explode, they were completely in the dark before. Also since this morning about 80% of the sides have pins popping now, extremely fast. Hopefully this goes well so i can try to replicate it and turn it into a spent cake tek

This thing really popped last night. Im not sure if its the growing conditions they started off in or what but they look like a hybrid of the 2 types of cakes I threw in there (b+ and ecuadors). Does anyone know if thats even possible?
