noobie mistake- over loving (over misting)

Well shit. I am in the process of my second grow. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19209906
The first 4 small cakes fruited well.
The large cake has thrown me some curve balls.
1. I didn't research WBS cakes before making them. It was an impulsive decision. After researching them, I've found that many people have issues keeping the cakes hydrated.
2. I dunked the 4 small cakes prior to fruiting. I did not dunk the large cake.
3. After creating the cakes, I do some research and find that WBS cakes don't hold moisture very well. I decide that my large cake must be too dry, since I didn't dunk it. I decide to start increasing my misting schedule to compensate for the dry cake.
Success(maybe)! The cake starts to take off. Being a noob, I continued heavy misting. Now I have problem.
Because I'm over misting, I'm getting fruits that are prematurely breaking their veil. Lucky for me, these clones are about 95% sterile, so very few spores are being released.
The issue I am having is premature fruits that have broken their veils next to immature fruits that still have growing room.
I have backed off on the misting.
What would you do? Would you Harvest the fruits that have broken veils? Even though it will cause collateral damage to the immature fruits?
Or, since they aren't producing spores, would you wait it out and let the immature fruits mature first??
Thanks!!!

cut the cap off and leave the stem. then harvest the stem when others are ready... Dont look down on wbs cakes because of this experience ive used wbs grinded down in pf tek then spawned to coir. its good for spawn but not so much for sgfc's.

Cool, Thanks for the response! I was curious if that was an acceptable practice or not.
I think I am about done with the sgfc. It seems like everything I read says that tubs are the way to go. My only issue with tubs is that I'll likely end up with way more yield than I could reasonably use. Ahhh, the suffering of First World problems...

Also, should I clip the stem just under the cap, or should I clip it as close to the base as possible?
