SFF Shoebox TEK (20 days no pinning) help?

Hi guys, this is my first rodeo.
Little explanation on my path so far.
1- Swab to agar. 2- 3 AtA transfers to clean mycelium. 3- Agar to rye grain. 4- Grain to SFF Shoebox TEK
I'm using a Mazatapec strain.
On every step of the way this strain had me waiting longer than expected from what I have been reading here. But I'm getting anxious as I am on the final step and this may not work and Ill have to start all over again.
Anyway.
I have followed the SFF SHOEBOX TEK for this last part.
I'm adding a picture so you guys can see what is my situation. Any advice? Just wait? help?

Okay so I'm not too further along than you but I'll do what I can to help.
The SFF tek is sound if you're following it correctly. In my limited experience everything takes way longer than you think. If it helps, don't worry. Even if it fails you'll get valuable information about what you did wrong to help do better next time.
Oh and It's actually looking fine. You're doing well.
As for how to help? what has the temperature been in recent times and when did you open the box to fruiting conditions?

Thanks for your reply 
The temperature average is 23c (73f) during the day. At night it gets colder.
It is close to a window in a place without direct sunlight.
as for: "when did you open the box to fruiting conditions?" in this SFF tek she states:
Quote:
As per bod, I also do not differentiate fruiting from colonizing conditions, I set these up into "Growing Conditions" straight at spawn. So what this means is that you want to latch your lid for your shoebox, then set it aside in a place that gets a good 12 hours of light per day. This doesn't have to be super direct, or very strong as long as it is 6500k light (or sunlight), and isn't too far away.
"What about Dub-Tubbing or flipping the lid?!" You may ask yourself. Well, stop asking yourself that. This is a TEK designed to be set-and-forget so we do none of this. The only step you should take is that, when the mushrooms are about 24-48 hours from finishing up, you'll want to unlatch the lid.
So I have been keeping the lid closed with the latch.
It's reassuring to hear it is looking fine  thanks for that

If that was spawned 20 days ago something’s wrong. The uncolonized patches and lack of knots specifically.
I’d guess it needs more air since there’s no knots that I can see. If there is a contam stalling colonization then the air should make it show up pretty quick too. Either way you’ll know.
Maz has always been very quick and very rhizo for me. I’ve never seen such tomentose myc from it.

I would indeed increase FAE (unlatch lid for example) and just be patient. Sometimes they just take longer to fruit.

Could you explain a little? I am not sure I understood it correctly.
Like a papper grocery bag instead of the plastic lid ?
Thanks for the reply.

no a plastic grocery bag. Like this. I cut two holes horizontally on the long side and one cut vertically on the short sides with my scalpel.
