Are you in the US? If you are, it should be easy to source these 3 things.
1) 8qt bag of coir (loose) from a pet shop 2) 8qt bag of vermiculite from a garden center of any hardware or big box store 3) Bag of pickling lime in the canning section of any hardware or big box store.
Every 66 quart tub gets 2 qts of casing. For every 2 qts of casing you will need 3 cups of coir, 3 cups of verm and 1 1/2 cups of water with a tspn of pickling lime. Do the squeeze test and adjust to field capacity as necessary. Fill jars with casing and top with aluminum foil. Put pc on burner, turn stove on medium. Put jars in pc but leave the lid off. Push analog thermometer down through the foil until the back of the thermometer touches the foil. When the temperature reaches 125*F, take pot off the heat and place lid on pc. Check periodically if you like but the thermometer will peak at 165*F and will not drop below 140*F before the 2 hour mark. I usually just leave them in there to cool over night.

Yeah casing goes on after your sub reaches 100% colonisation. Not necessary for cubs but it can help make up for a poorly dialed in tub.

Questions: Okay would you guys agree its time to pick? About 1/2 have breaking veils i think. Surely i don't wanna let spores drop, for that would affect my harvest come the second flush right?
Should i try some method of rehydrating? Or assume this rather small flush left plenty of moisture? Any either case, should i remove small, still developing mushrooms, or leave them for the next flush?
My current plan/assumption: Its time to pick. After, i will hold up the tub and estimate the difference in weight. If it seems light, i will search ways to dunk and do so, probably taking off all pins. If it does seem the same weight, i will leave small developing mushrooms and take only all the mushrooms that are or near ready.

Go ahead and harvest, maybe give it 2-3 more hours. You don't have to dunk, you can just mist the hell out of it between flushes.

You dunk a mono in the fridge? Do you not have a bunch of dirty ass food in there? Or hell, regular ass food, that's not dirty, but is just taking up space in the fridge, like it should?

I have multiple refrigerators in my house one behind the bar for mixers And beer one in the kitchen with food for my mouth ( we don't put food in our asses ) and one in my garage that is used mostly for beverages and the occasional dunk. Maybe your trailer or dorm room doesn't have that kind of space. so please...

Ohhh insults about my socioeconomic status. The makings of a fine argument, indeed.
Like was said, it's a tropical species. Cold shocking them in the middle of the fruiting cycle is pointless.
