myco bag problem

I bought a myco bag in feb and have colonized it. At the beginning of April i added the casing (vermiculite) and put it back in teh closet for a week then cut the top of the bag off and placed it in a tent with perlite at the bottom. I can see the mycelium breaking through the casing layer but there seems to be no pins. I think i may have cob webbing because there is a white layer over the top of the verm and this has dew on it. What could the problem be?
The tent is at room temp 21 / 70 and i air the bag a couple of times a day.

The humidity is around 80, well just over.
here is a pic of the casing layer. You can see the dew on the top of either cobweb or mycelium. I do not know what to do now because couldnt this moisture lead to contams?

i had opne which went like that. Couldnt tell if it was cobweb or myc. Turned out to be myc and i ended up with a fair few flushes!
As for the moisture you dont really want that sitting on the top of ur casing. its ok for it to be glistening, but u dont want it over saturated! Best thing i can suggest (which most people here will probably tell you) is that you regularly fan to try to dry it off a bit. then just lightly mist a few times a day to keep the moisture levels up!

That's not cobweb, it looks like nice, healthy (if a tad bit moist) mycelium.

Thats good that its not cobweb but why is she not pinning? Its been over 2 weeks now. I fan every now and then , the temp is down slightly and she has light.

If you have standing water on your casing your RH has got to be higher than 80-85%. I got water in some I did and my RH was at least 95% or more. So FAE needs to be up'd. If you have standing water on your casing you can take some paper towel and let the paper towel draw up the excess water.

Baph my reading was taken from a hygrometer, one of those needle ones so was probably off. I am trying to fan every couple of hours and will put a layer of paper towel to suck that moisture up and lets hope this works.
I have also been doing some reading into the strain and have found that the optimum temp for fruiting is 74 to 78, my bag is 70. Does this matter much?
