[brf tek] Waiting on pins, reassure me

I inoculated BRF cakes with cube spores, waited 1-2 weeks after 100% colonization and birthed 6 days ago into a SGFG with ~4 inches of perlite. I've got a grow light on for around 12 hours a day, and mist 2-5 times a day with fanning afterwards.
I still don't have any pins (that I can identify) after 6, almost 7 days, with the exception of one full blown mushroom. I know this can take up to 2 weeks, but I wanted to post some pictures and get some opinions on my cakes.
The only bad thing I am seeing is some bluing on the top of the cakes, which I am assuming is due to me misting too closely in the past. I took a suggestion I read from another thread and put some additional verm on most of the cakes this morning to keep the moisture/humidity up.

http://i60.tinypic.com/96ccav.jpg The one random mushroom that has started growing. You can see the cap in the reflection of the foil, which is tucked all the way under the cake. One or two of the cakes are a different strain than the others, which is what I think this might be. However, I am concerned that my humidity may be too low if that is the only fruit I am seeing towards the base of the foil.
http://i59.tinypic.com/2zfu54x.jpg Any chance this looks like it's about to pin? I'm really not even sure what I'm looking for exactly, beyond "knots."

http://i62.tinypic.com/34guf0z.jpg The bluing I was talking about. I'm assuming it's bruising and not contam; it smells fine. Thoughts?
Thanks for any feedback, and all of the posters I have lurked throughout my journey.

Blue Is bruising or it dried out. If you have a single mushroom that grew under the cake, it was looking for the best microclimate, which was under the cake. You can't exactly mist to close or too much. You want the cakes glistening but not soaking. And then fan a bunch. I wouldn't worry untill the two week mark.
-------------------- Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" post, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thing with just a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy fucking shit!

Yep, holes on all six sides. I got paranoid that I didn't soak my perlite properly (I put two big loads in a mesh laundry bag and dunked that in a large pot of water, agitated it, then let the excess water drain out). Since then I've poured a bit of water on the exposed perlite and raked it a bit since I think it's the fine variety.
I was saying that the bruising could be from a direct misting from the water bottle each time at a close range. I dunked for 24 hours six days ago, so I'm guessing they should have plenty of moisture. I haven't physically touched the cakes since I put them in.
EDIT: I'm seeing a couple definitive pins on another 2 cakes after closer inspection, so maybe they're about ready to take off.

I'm seeing quite a bit more pins now. Some have been enlarging for several days now, but I'm just remaining patient and continuing with what I've been doing.
