How are these looking? / a few questions!!

Hi All,
This is my first grow, I noticed a lone mushroom growing on one of my cakes like 4 days ago and was so proud. He's really getting big now. However I am still noticing a lot of pinning still happening with smaller ones coming on all cakes! I am just scared about when to harvest, should I wait till all have grown or will this one just keep growing or will the smaller ones catch up?? I am a bit confused with it! I don't want it to start getting spores on the big one while the others are still growing! Is it save to harvest just a few and let the others catch up??
I noticed that 90% of my shrooms now are growing under my cakes rather than around and on top, they have even pushed the cake up slightly? A very small shroom has even opened up its cap and I can see its gills? I think it might be because it is so cramped. What should I do? I was tempted to flip the cakes??

Cheers, DD

don't flip just snip the cap off the one thats ready till the rest are done, almost looks like you have a bacterial problem, always make sure to rinse well after the dunk. once your flush is done cut back on the misting for a week say to once in the morning once at night, this will give them a rest and also let the cake dry up a bit and the problem should go away, then dunk and proceed as normal. good job though!

I am worried about all the color in them, I used a cotton bud, gently, to see if any came off but none did. I was hoping it was bluing or should I not have any at this stage? I had none and as soon as they started to pin I got quite a bit as you can see.
There is A LOT of little shrooms under the cakes, is it normal to have so many in that area and no where else?

yes it's normal, gravity draws moisture to the bottom of your cakes

Ahhh, I see!
Right so, should I continue with my normal misting routine? I am doing it about 4-5 times a day.
Right so after my first flush, mist for a week just once in the morning, once at night then dunk and put them back in?

mist when you can no longer see moisture from your last mist, and yes after a week dunk and proceed, if within that week it starts to pin again dunk it before the week is up
