Is it getting light all day or do you have it get some darkness?
How much FAE is the cake getting?

It gets like 12 hour non direct sunglight, but i don't really open it cause it has these microfilters on the bag and they said it doesn't have to be and with the last one i even left it open a bit for air exchange but it got mould

Maybe vaccume and air out the area before doing so but it looks to be like it needs more fae. I would say try misting and fanning but if your not getting proper airflow than itll just cause mold.

Is that enough to open and squize and strech 2-3 times from the sides for effective FAE?

I would leave the bag top open or cut some slits on the side. Looks like there isnt enough FAE getting in there.

^what he said! If it helps: theres little to no way you can get the air around your project to be completely sterile so youve already kind of lost the battle before youve even began. Think more hypoallergenic, for example keep the workspace clean enough for someone with severe respiratory problems to be okay being there. There are many ways to acheive this and im far from being anyone who can tell you what to do but i hope it helps!

I saw many different advises online, whether directly spray it or not,so I'm not sure about that either or how much i should spray. (till now i only sprayed the sides of the bag) I left the top open from one side and moving the bag to increase FAE like twice a day, hope that helps. BTW I live in England which is quite humid anyway

Ive been in your postition and have learned that the advice is dynamic and every case is unique. If you blindly follow what has worked for some you will most likely have a bad time. That being said, if you search hard enough youll find exactly what your looking for. I like to mist at about shoulder hight at about arms length away. You want a gentle mist to rain down on your cake. Slowly spray once or twice, let that settle a bit and proceed until your cake is glistening but not saturated. You want to avoid puddles and pools, check out the post "misted cake project" by spitballjedi,its a great starting place. Your relative humidity only really helps in keeping your cake from drying out as fast as it would in a drier climate. It doesnt contribute much to your cakes habitat from what ive seen it speeds up or slows the rate at which it dries out but thats over a matter of hours. Good luck bud!

Looks like a FAE issue to me. Never seen your method used for fruiting before. Your cake should be pretty resistant to contamination once it has fully colonised. If exposing it to air and misting it makes it go moldy, I would lean towards bad spawn. Perhaps another type of fruiting chamber may give you different results.
