It's very possible they get a little perlite embedded in their caps. Let them dig their faces into it as much as they want--you can just rub it off at harvest time without any problems. The cakes do look a bit too moist, though. I'd let them dry out completely before misting again.
That one cluster is pretty gorgeous, by the way. 
Sweet! I'll let the moisture on the top of the cakes sorta dissipate to stop any bacteria. And I'll let the mushrooms do their thing 
I'll post more progress pics as they start to blossom!

We always love more pics.
But don't worry about bacteria--that's not why you want the cakes to dry out. It's actually that they tend to pin better when the moisture fluctuates between very moist and dry at the surface.

 Doing awesome, read up on agar work so you can get some isolates from your favorite cubes! Looks like you really did your homework, congrats..

Thanks guys, really appreciate the feedback .
Another question tho.
The picture below shows that cluster, and the veils are starting to break on a majority of them.
At what point do I do a print? Or should I wait for the 3 big ones in the bottom pic? As they look like they will be the biggest and healthiest of this yield.
Thanks ones again! I will defintely look at agar in the next week

Alright guys!
Harvested from two cakes, 110g wet of fruit! So I am super stoked with that, cause I have another 4 cakes to harvest from this first flush!
I dried them over night (around 10-12 hours) in the dehydrator, and they were cracker dry (snapped with no force at all) at the end of it. I put them inside of a zip lock bag with as much air out as I could get, and then inside of an airtight jar with some desiccant at the bottom!
However today I opened them up (couple days later) to see how they were, and they were a bit soft (softer than before, can bend now!) however there was no nasty smells, just mushroom smell!
Is this bad? Or is this ok? I plan on consuming them in the next fortnight 
Cheers!

I'd put them in the dehydrator again. Probably the caps weren't completely dry.

I'll whack them in the dehydrator again!
How long is too long? Will I cook the goodness out of them? Or is it pretty fool proof?
It took 9 days to see pins, and another week to harvest. Just dunked and rolled for the second flush, so it'll be interesting to see how they go!
All in all I got around 400g wet from 6 cakes, so for my first attempt I am well stoked!
