First time cultivator, would appreciate a little advice

I am wondering if any of you can tell me if these look normal and how far along they look.

Nice pinset, looking good. Might be a bit low on FAE, I find they tend to get long and come out gimpy when they look like that. Larger mushrooms tend to come from pins that start out by getting fat and then grow out IME.
--------------------
I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I tried that, i'm not sure how machiave got it, if you click the picture third from the right when posting, it comes up with an upload button, press that then choose the photos you want to upload, then you need to copy and paste the links you get

I have an air pump going through the terrarium, I thought that would be enough, do you suggest I leave the lid off? The heat here in Seattle is enough to keep it around 78 degrees with high humidity.

Your bottom cake looks dry. Hence, the peeling stipes
Your top cake looks abit off... Then again the pictures look alil blurr.

If you have an air pump it's really doubtful you have FAE problems. Probably just genetics that they are shaped like that.

I suppose I will spray a little filtered water on the fruiting cake to moisten it up and then wait to see how they turn out in a week. You guys are great!

I would appreciate some better pics of that top cake when you have time... But thts your call.
&&You could use tap water if you wanted.. No need to be sterile anymore, since everything is 100%

Here are some pics of the top cake (the one I'm assuming that isn't as fruiting as much as the main one since it took longer to grow in the jar) and I added a picture of the Seattle skyline from my window just for fun.

Definitely looks like a touch of thrich in number 4, possibly 2 locations.
Looks like it might be on dying pins or something, trivial and removable. I don't cake, so I'm not really sure how deep it might go.
Is this first flush? Did you dunk it with pins on it perhaps (not sure that would cause them to contam?)

Bottom center 1/3 up looks pretty green and fuzzy to me. Could be a camera trick though.

A little update two days later on the fruiting cake. How much longer does anyone think they should be kept to grow?

Probably a day or less, the cap should start to open soon. After a couple start to open pick em all off and dunk for 24hr
