[PIC] Never seen this before...

I have a few grows under my belt now and am pretty comfortable with PF Tek with good results each time. I recently built a smaller terrarium (54 QT) as I ran out of room with the old one. Similar set-up, temp @ 72-74F, RH@ 99%. The 1st cakes that were ever placed in this terrarium were 15 (1/4 pint) cakes that took 3 weeks to colonize full darkness and @ 82F temp incubator, and let sit for an extra week, dunked for 20 hours and rolled in verm, which is pretty routine.
What's interesting is, after the initial 2-3 day sit in this FC, the myc would normally start to colonize the outer verm layer (which happened) and pins would follow but somehow it just keeps getting bigger and bigger and just growing out of every which way, ropes even extending outward which can be seen in the pics! I've never seen anything like this before and was wondering if it had something to do with the new setup or it's a strain specific thing...
The only difference in setup is like i said earlier the tub is smaller and I'm using a 5100K bulb in the closet @ 12/12 cycle vs the old method of just daylight..

I had cakes that looked like that right before they got the damn green mold. I hope thats not the case for you.

Actually it might just be to hot and humid without and FAE.
Which in result leads to warm still air.
The myc will continue to grow like that if these are the conditions.
I put a small pf cake into a 1 gallon jar and didnt take the lid off for any air exchange and instead of pinning it just got extremely fluffy, it pinned after i gave it some air.

some of that looks very grey. It may just be growing like crazy, but that does look very suspicious.

In my opinion, if that was mold, it would have turned green by now. That does however look like the mycelium is still in it's vegatative state. I hasn't switched to the fruiting stage. That only means that you're missing something that is vital to initiation. By the looks of your sensors, it seems like FRESH AIR EXCHANGE might be the missing factor.
