Not sure what’s going on here on ma bulk sub

Hey all,
So I have this dub tub that I’m not sure if it is contam’ed or if it’s a viable sub that just looks like shit. Here’s my process:
I used CVG with some coffee grounds added in for this tub. As soon as the sub was colonized 100%-ish by the grains I put it into fruiting conditions by fanning with the lid and misting the sub/inside of the tub every day. The top part of the dub tub also has small holes drilled in for fae. After about a week of doing this my sub started to get a good amount of bruising around the perimeter, which upon further research I figured was due to a dry sub. So I started misting more which is where I’m sure my problems came from but idk how else I was supposed to get the sub the moisture it needed. I’ll also add that it smells perfectly fine. Anyways the pins that were growing into fruits have started aborting so now I’m here wondering, contam or ride it out?
Another problem I’m having is that, with the holes in the tub and the daily fanning, I’m sure I’m giving my substrate plenty of fae but yet I still get mycelium growing over the mushrooms. Not sure if this is normal.
Please help me lol

Yours truly,
-Big Rick

Too dry.
Dunk it, let it dry a little and throw it back in a FC.
Keep a mist on it when it looks dry.
No pooling water.

Ok thank you so would you say the dryness was probably caused by too much fae or something else?

Coffee in bulk sub is never a good idea, it’s a contam magnet.
And with shoe boxes you don’t really need any holes, I leave my lids on the whole grow with no holes. If I have a fan in the room I can leave them latched until the mushrooms reach the top and without a fan I unlatch them right from spawn.
I rarely ever have to mist until the first flush. Misting every day was probably way too much and may have caused the bruising in the first place or it could be a combination of contam, drying out from the holes and then misting a bunch causing the myc to mat up.
Check out the sff shoe box method, inoculate grains with clean agar, and stick to coir only or coir/verm for your bulk and you should be g2g. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26009662

toss that thing and start over. id lose the coffe also its bad news. then make sure you knock up your grain with agar to ensure a clean culture. clean spawn is the most important thing. then keep better environmental conditions.
take it as a lesson learned and try again 👍

Or, 
No thing last forever.
I have a hard time letting subs go sometimes.
