My bag has little blue areas where there is an accumulation of moisture in my bag, and it never seems to leave or anything. My bag just stays wet.
What I think are pins are starting to pop up in random areas of mycelium in my grow bag, but I don't know if it will successfully grow because there are almost no pins on the top; most on the sides. I know this has something to do with lighting and the outsides of the bags being a perfect spot for them to grow, but is this to say that the mushrooms will not grow because there is such moisture?

If it is too saturated, your right-
you can drain your bag if your careful- or cut it open to help it dry, while inside a chamber or grow box.

If it's fully colonized, simply cut it open with slits from the substrate level to the top of the bag. These should increase air exchange and lead to pins on top. I don't like the idea of fruiting in a sealed bag. Lots of mycelium refuses to pin properly without more fresh air than you'll get through a filter patch. RR

What about other airbornes?
I thought exposing the mycelium now would just cause more problems

If you've got pins, the substrate is fully colonized and pretty resistant to contaminants and competitor molds. However, by not providing fresh air exchanges, you are actually promoting an environment for other molds and giving them a foothold on your substrate.

AN UPDATE:
Been practically 3 days since this post, and there aren't anymore pins than there were. I opened up the bag to allow more fresh air exchanges (listened to RogerRabbit when he said to make a few slits in the grow bag).
Should I be concerned that there aren't really any new pins?
Forgot to mention there was nothing blue or green that was spreading in the bag. I attributed that to overmoisture in certain areas.
