Has that bottom cake flushed? What do the other 2 smell like? DOB? temps humidity?
pls give more detail when asking a question. Gives people a better idea at what may have happened.

both smell fine
both cakes were colonized for 27-28 days
DOB Oct 7 (one week ago)
Using gay ass mycodome to fruit... Temp is 70-75 range Humidity on meter says 60% but there is so much condensation on the mycodome dome... not sure if it should be 100%?

what are you doing for air fae? condensation doesn't mean 100% RH. rap your meter in a wet rage and see if it hits 100%

the gay ass mycodome... here is the link mycodome website
i basically followed their directions... could it be that the meter doing the reading is faulty? i mist and fan twice a day and the bubbler is constantly running there seems to be a lot of moisture...
then again i hear that the white fuzz that is on cake A grows when humidity is too low... is that true?

Ok, so I used a different hydrometer and it says the humidity is at 85%... is there any way to raise the humidity more? Should I cover that stupid air exchange filter on the top of the mycodome dome?

That mycodome is epic. Whoever invented these things, probably invented bottled water. Get some perlite, plastic tote, and a drill. Calibrate the hygrometer. Fan and mist. They do not look contaminated. The yellow is a biproduct. Fan, fan, Spray. Fan, fan, spray.
