Help with my Monotub please ! (They won't fruit !)

Hi all !
After my first successful harvest I made several different tubs to try new spores I had
The mycelium grew on the whole substrate but I have now problems with pinning and fruiting...
As you can see in the pictures, only a few pins appear, and they "die" off quickly, or get covered with a white vail
- Is it contamination ? - Do I need to give more fresh air ? - Are they too dry/wet ? - What should I do ???
Thanks for any help, I wouldn't come if I knew what to do from my research.
Those tubs were doing really well, I hope we can rescure them !

Looks like bacterial problems.
I’m pretty sure that dark spot in the first picture will be green within a couple days.
Unless it’s from spores dropping but I’m not seeing any stumps.

Fan more, mist less. It looks too wet. What does it smell like?

Yes, it's contaminated, probably could use more fresh air, looks like it's been too wet in the past and maybe too dry now.
I'd dump it, you might be able to get a few mushrooms out of it, but based purely on the contamination, I'd dump it.

Thanks for the answer
It smells fine, just checked, there is no foul smell or anything. Just the normal "healthy" mushroom smell

Hi, thanks for the answer
How do you tell it is contaminated ?

If you say the black areas are just spore dumps, maybe it's okay... however, the mycelium still looks funky. Like it was maybe too wet, now too dry and look matted. Like some of the areas there are straight up cracks in the (what I assume is) mycelium. What's the airflow/fae like?
What's the time frame on this bin? Like when did it start, when did you harvest the ones that spore dumped, etc?

There was no real FAE, and I think this was the problem.
I thought it was too dry so I kept misting :S
It has been more than a month since I started the tub, I harvested more than a week ago
I have tried today to give them a lot of fresh air and see if it help, and I won't add any more misting or water... sounds good ? :S

Definitely give them air... they can't have too much fresh air. As far as moisture, shoot for misting until it looks like dew on the surface (no pooling), then repeat that when it evaporates. Although being a month, maybe the substrate moisture is dry (but again, who knows if you were over-misting before). You'll most likely get *something* at least... but might be worthwhile to just start over. Or at least get some new grain jars going while you let this bin play out.

Thanks for the answer.
I had some weird looking mushrooms with signs of contam' (I guess) And the smell seems a bit off... so I decided to discard both of them for now.
Can you help identify these, if they are contams or not ?

Any idea anyone on what this is on the mushroom ?

The first pic with the little circle of gills is a common mutation called rosecomb.
The others look like bacteria probably. They should be fine to eat, maybe dry them then boil them in tea if you’re nervous.

These tubs are bacterial man.
People often have a degree of bacteria in their subs and don't know it, it leads to lower yields, more vulnerable to mold, etc.
How are you inoculating your spawn?

Thanks ! I had never seen about the Rosecomb so I was worried.
I am glad I learned that

Hi ! I have discarded both tubs !
They were all multi-spores tubs, why ?
