fuzzy white growth

Hello all,
I'm a first time grower, I'm using the pf tek, BRF cakes. All went well with the colonization, good rhizomophic growth. I dunked the cakes in spring water for 12 hours in individual ziplocks and kept them in the fridge. I then tranfered the into my terrarium, the temp is between 78-80f and humidity is only showin 75% or so ( i'm using damp perlite). The cakes have been in the chamber for 3 days and I just got home from work and see that they have a nice looking white fuzz growing on the cakes, it looks alot like some the fuzz i saw on the dry verm on the top of the jars post colonization. Is this normal? I have used the utmost in sterile technique, handleing the cakes very little and when I did i used sterile gloves(i work in a hospital). I would really appreciate your imput thanks. I'll try and get you some pics of them, ASAP.

I hope all is good! The walls of the terrarium are coated with a nice fine mist, its almost hard to see in threw them.I hear most of these hydrometers are bunk though.

if you are using 2 inches of wet perlite as wet as you can (try not to get standing water) you should have 99% humidity unles syou fan 12 times a day haha. 3 good fans a day should be enough.
perlite is amazing for humidity hence why i put up with it when its so damn messy. but it doesn't give instant humidity.
