looks good to me.
if you are really stressed for an answer you can gently poke a part of it with a clean utensil(as a last resort!!!)

dont poke it that wont prove anything

its mycelium cakes usually do this right after birthing before the first flush fluffy mycellium will come up sometimes due to really high RH or not enough FAE or the cake just hasnt decided it wants to fuit yet.. its fine dont worry the only thing i would suggest is to
roll it in verm.. if you are uncertain that your verm is clean bake it in the oven @ 350 for and hour or so or at least nuke it in the microwave... a verm roll will greatly improve your results!

i wasn't advocating poking it... but it would turn blue if it was mycellium.and every once in a wile you get those people that just keep asking cuz they just dont want to think its fine.call me dumb but thats how i see it. hence the (last resort!)

the cake is starting to form what will be pins.. rulling now will destroy them. also the dry verm will draw moisture away from the cake.. the reason you roll directly after dunk is that there is plenty of excess moisture on the surface of the cake for the verm to stick to..

he could wet the cake then roll but that will still destroy the beginnings of the knots that are forming and it will have to start over.

letting this cake fruit as is then dunking and rolling is the best option in my opinion.

Nexus, it's been dunked, but not rolled. Is it ok to roll at this point (can I just pour some verm straight onto the cake without having to take it out?)

You could leave it as is but be sure to mist regularly and FAE.

What I would do is fill a bowl with cold tap water and another with some clean verm. Place the cake in the water for a minute or so then roll it in the verm till theres a nice coating and place it back in the FC. Give it a few minutes then mist it until it sparkles with water. Don't soak it. You want the verm there to keep the cake at the proper RH.

This may set it back a few days but it should perform better in the long run.

Three to six times a day, fan, then mist, then fan again. Don't soak the cakes but keep them moist.

Direct fanning evaporates some of the moisture which triggers pinning.

Do this and it should be fine.
