Is the cap flipping like this normal?

I know it could possibly be scaling but I didn't think it'd be dry enough yet to do that.
Here's an overall photo...

...and a closeup of the flipped cap.

Here's how the rest of the tub is behaving.

To me it looks like they're good to harvest/consume (if only a day late). Does anyone think otherwise?

I had made a post yesterday describing my situation. No, I have done little to no research. The finished tubs were thrust upon me and I've been trying to figure things out on a very short clock. It's stressing me out.

No.
They were ready to pick three days ago. Spores taste horrible, and in addition they signal to the substrate that the reproduction process is complete. You rarely get a decent second flush if you let the spores puke all over everything like that. In fact, the mycelium begins to die back and green molds usually show up before you get any more.
If you pick at the large pin size, food and trip quality is excellent, plus the substrate keeps on producing. RR

Two tubs, was waiting on one of them per the owners request (yes, looks like he was wrong and I should have just listened to you all). Other tub came out fine, just picked up a desiccant and will be drying in the near future.
Thank you for your help in the previous post.

Earlier for greater taste/potency/future flushes?
Besides messing up the grow environment this flush will still function as a lower quality mushroom? After picking this morning all the fruits looked clean (save for the spores all over the place), I

They are fine to eat...just wont be as potent and will taste like crap....and like RR said...getting spores all over your sub ruins the grow for future flushes...
