Knots & pins.

Not sure about cotton ball looking mycelium. Knots look like little white dots. You can see them above in the photo.
Good luck

I'm so excited guys! All this waiting and wondering and they're finally here! 
I broke my phone last night so I'm really sorry I cant put pictures up, but I've got a little pin in one of my jars, he's so cute! I also don't have a fruiting chamber right now, and cant get one for 2 more days, is this guy gonna be alright?

After all this time, pin porn!

They got a little bruised when I popped them out of the jars, truth be told I think I actually should've birthed them a couple days sooner. But everything is looking good! There are a ton more, but I don't want to handle the cakes to much and this camera is no where near good enough to capture many of them. Anyway, finally an update on this!

I'm back with another round of pics, these ones turned out much better! Pins are way bigger today, looking sexy as hell.

I'll probably getting a better camera when I get paid next, just found out my account is at $0.00, so this is the picture quality I'm stuck with for a while. Also, anyone mind sending some groceries my way? :P

That's awesome! I'm probably gonna get some pint jars and a large pot to fractional sterilize some popcorn though for my next grow. I've got the agar plates started right now, just need to get the popcorn, jars, and the pot. :P

UPDATE I had my first harvest on saturday, munched about 8 grams of fresh mushy and had myself a wonderful 6 hour experience. Here are some pictures:
I ran into an extremely uncomfortable come up and found myself preparing for another trip to hell, and right at about an hour and a half, the euphoria licked my brain and the heavy body high/ominous visuals were swept away and I was suddenly light as a feather, while my surroundings sparkled and transformed (mostly in the peripherals). I wont do a report here, but this grow has been so incredibly worth it!
Unfortunately my fruits were pretty small and my pin sets mostly aborted, but a lesson is learned from this; I think I was over misting my cakes, or rather not fanning enough after misting. I've done some research and found that if you mist again before all the water on the mushrooms evaporates, it can cause them to abort. Perhaps this is the same reason that my fruits opened their caps at such a small size. The veils appeared and broke in less than 24 hours; I'm not sure if that is abnormal, but it was extremely surprising for me.
Fortunately (sort of) that was only 3 of the cakes, the other two are currently each producing a single mushroom, one of which is looking to be (hopefully) quite large. I'm a little worried though, as one of the caps seems to be turning greenish, although I'm nearly positive that it's bruising, because it gets more pronounced immediately after (I mist with a very fine mist, from 8-12 inches above the cakes). In the chance that it is mold though, I have produced these pictures, but i still don't have a very good camera, so I'm not sure you'll be able to see much.
These look fairly healthy to me, but I'm on my first grow and honestly do not know what I'm looking for.
I've got the 3 cakes that have been dunked (during which they produced a beautiful pin set) and are currently in a smaller SGFC, just in case that mushroom is in fact molded. If it is I will be baking the perilite, washing the SGFC with 10/90-bleach/water and sacrificing those cakes outside somewhere (maybe the local park). After which of course the 3 healthy cakes will be put back into the more ideal terrarium.
Also, just because I'm excited about it and it's mildly relevant, my new pipe!

Another mildly relevant thing, after my trip on saturday, and my attempt at a trip on monday, I've been getting some really interesting thought patterns, and very unique visuals when I smoke large amounts of mariujana. Just now I was watching some Aztec or Mayan figures dance, run, and fight, and also some geometric patterns, playing across my grey wall. All of these things were completely grey, but somehow contained other colors that were definitely there, but I didn't exactly "see" them. Very wonderful enhancements to an already delightful herb. Is this normal? Or am I most likely just smoking abnormally large amounts of pot?
Anywhoo, that's it for today!

So any idea if that pin is healthy? I'm still worried about it, thought the green doesn't seem to be spreading, just darkening.
