Button Mushrooms - are these pins?

I purchased a button mushroom box at the end of last year. I added compost and let it grow for two weeks before putting it in my fruiting chamber 6 days ago. I think I may be seeing pins, but I'm not sure what they look like for button mushrooms. Does anyone have any pictures of pinning button mushrooms? Are these pins in my picture, and if so how long should I expect before they mature?

Thanks, AOLSD

Not all button pins will mature at once. Agaricus like to make almost all its pins at the start with non-fruiting ones staying dormant till the next flush.
-------------------- Evolution is Lamarckism in disguise. Adaptation never creates a new species or trait, but rather the new species/trait always existed within the parent DNA until circumstances allowed it to be activated. For instance, every wolf has the DNA for poodles, but that DNA would never be revealed without man selectively breeding for it.

Thanks for the link.
Yes, that is peat moss on the surface layer. The mushroom spawn was shipped colonized with a packet of dry peat moss. I moistened the peat moss and used it to case the spawn, then closed the box back up and set it inside (temperatures around 70F) for two weeks. At that time, most of the peat moss was covered with growth, so I put it in the fruiting chamber on January 15th. Temperature is 60 to 68 degrees in the fruiting chamber and humidity 95 to 100%.
These have not grown as fast as I had expected (although I have never grown buttons before so don't really know what to expect). But they are growing, the largest are the size of peas or small marbles now. Here is a picture taken this evening.

Here is a picture of the 2nd flush. After harvesting and trimming the stems, I had 420 grams of mushrooms. First flush was about 125 grams (2 mushrooms).
