Can't get penis envy to flush

Need help!! Started 5 cakes of penis envy. They rapidly covered the cakes in mycelium. Turned out in to fruiting chamber. No sign of pinning after a week. Dunked in fridge for 18 hrs then rolled. Have been in fruiting chamber for 10 days and no pinning. Temp around 75-80 degrees and lots of humidity. Lots of condensation on walls. No sign of contamination. See white fuzz coming through vermiculite but seems to have a clear glaze on the in some areas of the cakes. Anyone have any thoughts? Any input greatly appreciated. Yabecoo

Dunking in the fridge has always left me with slow pinning. One possible problem.
How much perlite do you have. Are you fanning and misting 3-5 times a day. How much light and what kind of light are they getting. Whats the temp/humidity read.

to get penis envy to flush you have to whip out your cock and make the mycelium envious. It starts thinking why don't I have a penis? Maybe I'll just grow a bunch of 'em to out do you.

More perlite.
4-5 inches sir, and they will come. They will come with time either way, but add some more perlite.

Should I drench it in a strainer like before. I put a touch of peroxide in the water first time I did the perlite.

peroxied is okay, just not too much.
Just be patient young grasshpper.
Did you dunk and roll after 8 days? If so this probably 'reset' your mushrooms maybe. Made them think it was still 'grow' time.
Just leave em alone, and keep em humid. The'll be here. If it's still growing fuzz it's not yet even triggered to fruit. I am pretty sure that they dont' keep growing mycelium when they are in fruit stage.

I thought it was jelly like but it looks like it's gone now. I didn't want to pick them up for a close inspection as I'm freaked over contams. I didn't fan for 3 days and the humidity and moisture was thick and dripping from the lid and all over the cakes. They just look fuzzy now.

You do 1 part peroxide for 10 parts water
The peroxide must be 3% solution which most is
So for you non math people...Thats 1 ounce peroxide to 10 ounces of water. Then it goes from there.

My PE cakes took 14 days to pin, and even then only one cake pinned, the rest caught up over the next 5 days, but just be patient. Good things come to those who wait.

Did you birth your cakes right after the surface was covered with mycellium? If so, you birthed too early - the mycellium needs a few extra days to consolidate its hold on the substrate (colonize the interior portion of the cake). It's generally best to wait 3-5 days after the cake is 100% colonized before birthing.
Also, why did you use peroxide? Unless you saw blatant signs of cobweb mold, all you did was hurt the mycellium and make it take longer to pin.
Does your terrarium have holes drilled into all four sides for FAE? Do you see any knots forming on the mycellium? Do a forum search for pinning/hyphal (sp?) knot pictures and compare them to your cakes.
Honestly, though, I'd just give it a bit of time. Worst case scenario, you birthed a little bit too early and retarded the mycellium a little bit with the peroxide.

No, I waited a good week after fully covered. I read that a touch of peroxide in the water when soaking the perlite was OK. I have not been spraying the mist directly on cakes only the sides of chamber. Per your suggestion I'm using just water now to mist. I have holes on 2 long sides of chamber. I do have some small knots showing in the vermiculite.
