Mid-Cultivation / Still Growing Is there something wrong with my bag?

First time grower here. So I inoculated this 3lb grain/substrate bag with P Nats in the last week of December 2024. Long story short, I did 1 break and shake around a month after inoculating the grain. This seemed to have cause a stunt in the mycelium’s growth, and so for around 3 weeks there were seemingly minimal changes in the bag. This however changed in March when I started noticing changes in the bag. Not sure if it’s mycelium but the grain/substrate is slowly starting to get whiter and whiter, yet there seems to be condensation on the inside of the bag which I’ve heard is a sign of contamination.

I also wanna add that the “mycelium” only started to noticeably come back after I started squeezing the old air out and slowly letting it inflate back with oxygen, which makes me wonder if I should cut into my bag to introduce better FAE. Please give me opinions and suggestions. Thank you!
