Fuzzy feet - in practice what do you do

I have read the consensus on fuzzy feet seems to be too little FAE or too much moisture. On my first grow, this is one of my shoeboxes

I'm assuming I should increase FAE? If I do that, should I see the fuzz go away, or moisture in tub decrease? I see lots of posts saying to increase FAE but not sure if this is supposed to result in a change or you just do it and assume things are good? I am probably over thinking this but... 4/5 posts on search have the pictures deleted so

Fuzzy feet aren't going to hurt anything. I think your first grow looks amazing, you should be proud! If anything just increase your FAE a tiny bit and see what happens. I wouldn't change anything drastically though, you're doing good!

By increasing FAE youre going to lose humidity as the warm air takes off some evaporation with it. You can combat this in different ways by dialing in your tubs with tips and tricks in the different tub tek threads.
But yeah, too much moisture leads to the mycelium not being able to breathe so from my understanding that's why it creates a bunch of tomentose growth around the base of the fruits and I'm some bad cases up the stipe

As others said, an increase in FAE may help. The light fuzzy growth can be removed at harvest. It peels off the stipe easily. You may leave it on and scrape the stipe after drying or choose not to remove the growth at all. Cultivators preference.

It’s normal to have it sometimes no matter what too.

Looks good! Way better than my sad first shoebox run.
Lots of pins, mostly in the center instead of sides. In the beginning I had all sorts of fun issues with dialing in, side pinning and fruits growing on the edges.
Sometimes fuzzies are just fuzzies as one poster noted. Overall it looks pretty good.
If it helps. Here's my shitshow of a first shoebox keep the laughter to a minimum please.

Please post more as you progress. Always fun to watch and learn.

Fuzzy feet happens even in open air grows. OPs pics look like too much moisture.

I've opened the tub up a bit to try and let more air in and maybe evaporate some moisture. I feel like my other tubs may be a bit on wet side too, maybe a little over on field capacity at the beginning, in hindsight
And Wun that looks like more than enough to trip I kept worrying nothing would grow, so exciting seeing the first pin lol
Just thought too - I have another tub that's going with this same variety so I'll see if it's got the same fuzz, the pins are coming up on it. Think the coir was more dry on that one

Also, once you run them through the dehydrator nobody will notice. It will practically disappear.
