This is my first time trying this and I do not know if something is growing wrong or not. The mushrooms are only growing on the edge, and they are starting to crack and turn blue on top, what should I do?

Your humidity is too low, hence the cracked caps. What sort of fruiting chamber are you using?

I just have them in that 6 gallon tub with no cap and mist them 3 times a day. What should I be doing differently I guess it needs to have a cap to hold some moisture? this is my first time.

You need something to hold moisture in & allow for some FAE. Even saran wrap with you manually fanning 5 times a day would be an improvement.
Pick what you have, rehydrate the substrate and hope for a better second flush.

Don't throw them out they should be perfectly fine to consume.

They are fine to consume. Follow the advice above..
Those look meaty! If their stipes are very hollow (I bet they are) it is because of too low of humidity.
