That is one ugly brute! Congratulations.
What are you casing with? That mycelia is really chowing it down. Are you proving adequate moisture and air exchange? It's difficult to offer suggestions without more information.

Congrats on that brute!~

as far as your casing...
the mycelium is just ripping through the casing layer.
what kind of casing material did you use?
what is the temp in your fruiting chamber?
what is the humidity level at?
how much fresh air exchanges are you doing?
how much light are you giving it?
answer these questions an we might be able to help you better.

Hay dudes you calling my baby ugly 
Sorry for the lack of info : The casing material is close to your 60-40 tek road but I think the Coir has fertilizer added..

[shit quality ran out of upload] the 4 white trays all have pins on them (Back right is where mutant boy came from) But the 2 black trays are just going nuts with mycelium
 The temp is around 73*F it can fluctuate up to 80*F at the highest I am using a PMP type setup ,Geolite, fish tank heater in the bottom,air pump running 24/7 I'm not sure what the RH is but it looks high.When I took that photo just now the lens got fogged up. The light cycle is 14/light 10/dark

People might hack me for the idea, but cold shock the stubborn casings. It's always done wonders for me.

cool, I won't hack ya for that man. I've heard of that, No reason not trying it I guess. The casing would be wasted unless something is done.

 I know many a grower that swear by cold shocking all with excellent results. I for one know of it's usefulness and has proven to be a very helpful tool when needed. WORD! BTW can any of you observant cultivators see the second, third and forth flushes in this casing?

Hay
All trays have been in the FC for about 1,1/2 weeks. I just remembered the white casings have ground coffee in them, 2 black ones don't This should not account for the lack of pins and massive overlay, should it? P.S. I thought that cubes don't need a casing layer to fruit.(but they do better with one)eg.Cakes So why doesn't the overlayed mycelium get to a point where it can fruit. By the look of my casings the whole thing is now a substrate there is no casing left. It's all been eaten

Thanks for your help. those uncooperative casings were cold shocked for 8 hrs, and one of them I did some scratching on one to see if it helps.
Check out the crazy overlay

Its frustrating, but my temps are high with no way of me cooling things down.
hopefully someone has the answers.
