This is my first post. The mycelium has been like that for 2 days now and feels kinda crisp. I just dunked it two days ago. Is there a contamination? Is it suppose to look like that?

Hey bud!
Firstly, if you haven't already taken advantage of it there's a TON of good info on here about contams and mold vs myc vs bact.
With that being said, I'd say fruit the bitches and see what happens. I'm definitely curious to hear what others think though.
Aside from that, fill me in on what you're tek is and what you're using for a FC.

Well, i previously received the tek from trufflemagic.com and was able to get some really potent pins on the first flush (they stopped growing). So I don't know much about the tek but i'm using a container with four cut out holes for a good air system.

It’s getting too dry, and possibly too wet at some points.
There also might be a contam in that grayish area on the left side.
Just try to keep the humidity up and it should pin though.

It's not a plant it doesn't need a 'good air system' it needs to evaporate off moisture at a desirable rate. It needs to breathe but not hyperventilate.
Idk what fruiting setup you're using but this setup here breathes in a healthy way https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/25339094

So would it be a good idea to keep the lid off, or turn off the fan.

Also, should I spray the cake directly or do I spray the surroundings

Depends on your fruiting setup, all I see is a sub and some black plastic, I hear you mention a lid but I don't see a FC anywhere. So what is the setup that's drying out the cake?

Sorry i'm new to these terms. I'm guessing you mean Fruiting Chamber by FC. My whole setup is a heating mat for temperature, a sterilized trash bag to go under the cake, I have an auto mister that sprays mist upwards which falls down on the cake (image attached) Theres four holes along the sides of the tube. I have LED lights hanging from the top, at which I keep on blue. In addition to the auto mister, I spray the inner walls of the chamber 2 times a day (But not spraying the cake directly). Theres also a fan that is constantly providing new air.

Turn off all that electric crap. You're killing your myc with all that unnecessary heating, drying and misting.
Just plug the holes of that tub with some polyfill or micropore, put the lid on and hope for the best.

That seems like a good idea although my house gets really cold at night (like around 55-65 Degrees Fahrenheit) and my heating mat is said to go up to +20 Degrees Fahrenheit so I think it may be necessary.

That's cold dude. I'd still say that heating mat is causing a shit ton of trouble for ya. It will dry out your sub due to difference in temperatuer. I'm a noob tho, so wait for someone smarter to jump in.

The last couple months I let my grow room go down to high 40s for a week and a half. The only things that slowed were plates and jars, already spawned tubs seemed to do fine.

I ordered some perlite thats coming tomorrow. Would it be a good idea to put it underneath the cake to add humidity?
