 Here some of the mushies are ready for harvest. Can someone explain the purple coloring on one of the caps? also the other South American cake still has no pinning.

Try building your fruiting chamber correctly  That fish tank you have them in is about as inefficient as it gets.

No attachments made to it with any extra things like humidifiers. Optimally the SGFC should be in the middle of a room. No fans should be run in the room with the SGFC, but a cracked window is OK. A humidifier in your house can help to raise the ambient RH but don't put it near your SGFC put it in the other corner of the room if you do decide to run a humidifier at all. The SGFC IMO should have at least 6-12 inches of room from any wall on all 6 sides. This includes finding some sort of raisers to elevate the SGFC off of the surface it's on.

 Does the coloration on the right mushroom just above the mycelium look okay?

Looks fine to me, but go wash under those fingernails.

Ha! I did that just after uploading the picture :s I rinsed my hands in rubbing alcohol before handling the mushrooms however.
Unfortunately I do not have an area to properly store a SGFC. I will be adding an Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier on a timer to replace misting and aid in FAE.

the second SA cake is now fruiting some nice looking mushrooms and the first cake has some pins on it, the B+ also has some pinning. I ate the first SA fruit weighing 5 grams and I was quiet pleased.

If you have a place to set a tote, you have room for a SGFC.
A humidifier set up to a tote is overkill and not going to be ideal.
FAE and R/H are properly established in other ways.

The staining on the cap is caused by the pellicle, a separable gelatinous layer on the top of the cap. The purple to black spores adhere well to it, causing the discoloration. A pellicle is uncommon in cubensis but the b+ strain has one.
Slime isnt normal, you may need more fresh air exchange. How do they smell?

the gel like stuff is normal after a dunk and is not a contam, be sure to rinse well after the dunk as bacteria build up is common during the dunkQuote:

just ignore this, no offense your just way off, cubes don't have a gelatinous pellicle
