OP already responded to this...

I’ve had them sitting on foil for 72 hours now and there is just condensation under the caps and nothing that looks like spores. Even the dark one. Just clean foil and a few water droplets.

Thanks. The cluster currently growing is part of the 4th flush I've gotten from this cake. I'm just going to let it ride. Spores or rot. If nothing else I'll learn something. Could be one of those anomalies. From what I've read you can start seeing spores about 5-16 hours after the veil tears. I left the last batch growing for 10 days and didn't see the first spore.
I took the advice and salted the red contam and covered it with white index cards. The round cap has been open for 24h and the stem is clean. Nothing on any of the index cards either.
The wavey cap has been open for (I think) 5 days now. Looks completley clean to me.

Poor conditions= poor performance. They're just sad not sporeless

You are obviously one of the most respected people here and I appreciate you (and everyone) looking at the post. I took a picture of the first flush but not the other two. I attached it for you to see. I didn't get any spores from the big ones from that flush either. I'm not sure what conditions are off to make them sad.
It is consistently ~72 DegF in the house. RH is 90%+ and I've always had condensation on the lid and walls so they aren't getting dried out. I've started to fan them a few times a day when i saw the fuzzy feet start. I even started to give them a few hours of indirect sunlight when I read suggestions to do so. To me they always seemed to be happy and healthy. I didn't get any sort of contam till this 4th flush. I'm really not sure what to adjust. Anything standing out?
I have a smaller tub of the same genetics colonizing now so I can try again with them pretty soon. Thanks.
