it may be myco-piss or it may be mold spores, or it may be something else.  i would just keep a real close eye on it, and maybe be prepared to amputate part of that first cake if it is contamination.

IMO, it is not contaminated.  Maybe double check your humidity meter 60% is too dry.

It's not piss because mushroom mycelium doesn't urinate.  Your cakes are dry.  Build a proper terrarium, dunk your cakes overnight to rehydrate them, and make sure you have 99% humidity.  Condensation on the walls has nothing at all to do with humidity.

I thought the yellow fluid that is sometimes exuded from the mycelium was metabolites that I've heard referred to as myco-piss, not suggesting that it was literally urine.

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?

hmm raising humidity...one may venture to add water by dunking as RR suggested.  I personally would ditch the mycodome and build a shotgun FC like the videos show.  It frustrates the elders when you refuse to follow easy step by step instructions and then cry for help on the forum when it doesn't work.  Good luck.
