I know, but compared to the rest of the growing journey...

just mist as needed but also allow the substrate to dry up a bit in between mistings. that's all you can do now. and be patient

You will only need 2 or 3 times and fan for 25-30 seconds.
Honestly, if you can get away with less misting you will get more mushrooms. Don't let it get DRY but the DRIER it gets between mistings will stimulate more pins:

Mushrooms are closer to humans then plants so imagine if I put you in a room with a limited supply of oxygen and expected you to not only live but produce a Mona Lisa at the same time. You would suffer and probably die while drawing stick figures.
In the wild mushrooms are CONSTANTLY blasted by fresh air. There are very few places on Earth that are 100% humidity all the time. Mushrooms like fluctuation, this is what they're used to.
I've done a few cakes and a bunch of monotubs. You don't want it to be WET honestly. You want it to get a little dry before you mist again. Pins form from water evaporating on the surface. How do you think I knew you were over-misting and recommended that you cut down? Because those cakes look like they're getting loved to death. Without a proper environment the cakes won't pin.
DO NOT FAN IN BETWEEN MISTINGS. Fanning is to quickly destroy the environment so the fresh air coming in will have to pull more water from the perlite (Which you should also be misting lightly) to restart the humidity. This gives your cakes a jump start on the drying process and also wicks away excessive moisture from the cakes.
The reason why they're growing out like that past the dry verm layer is because they're getting over-saturated which is telling them they're not supposed to pin yet. Mushrooms don't like overly wet environments. Your SGFC should be 6-12" away from the wall and 6-12" away from the floor. In the middle of the room is ideal.
In the future the oven isn't necessary. But use it if you like.
DON'T ROLL FOR THE SECOND FLUSH.
Are their holes on the bottom? Raise that higher. Do you have qt jars?

If he allows for evaporation to occur rather then misting when it's wet he won't get more primordia? At least as much as genetically wired.

Well yeah it needs to get dry before it's misted again but things like "the drier it gets before you mist it the better" can be interpreted pretty extremely by someone who has no idea what they're doing.

To clarify to future readers and OP:
Don't let it get bone dry. Just dry enough to warrant a mist
