What substrate did you use? I would say ease up on the spraying I think it looks a little wet also is that thing kept in a terrarium or a sgfc? Don't cut the foil on the side... It's common for pins to form there they will be fine.
Edit: Sorry totally missed the whole rest of the thread

Used Rye grain as sub substrate. SGFC with a small air purifier inside to improve FEA.

The substrate looks saturated but the surface to me appears dry. That's why the pins are forming along the sides where it's more humid. You have the air purifier inside the SGFC? that might be creating too much FAE and drying things out. I believe the point of the holes in a SGFC is to allow air from the outside, in; while maintaining humidity. Air circulation inside-out would just blow out all the humidity.

I myself had a lot of problems tryn to get the humidity right in a sgfc to the point were my substrate was drying out and the myc was disappearing!!! I said to hell with it and invested in a martha (greenhouse) and the reptile fogger system after only three days in that it started popping out pins first only on the sides so I did cut slots in the corners and folded the sides down on one and the other I just took it out of the tray and put it on a cookie sheet. From my n00b research u need good FAE many times a day and let the substrate dry out then remoisten it once dried out with a spray down. So follow my post if u wanna see what happens when someone folds the sides down or moves it out of tray and put them on a cookie sheet lol http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/20329424
