wellington pinset

this is only my second edible grow, and I'm trying to work out kinks and streamline stuff.
5 qts of rye were spawned to pasteurized straw on 9/23.
it leaked everywhere on the desk, (now assuming metabolites?) and I threw it outside thinking it wasn't gonna work out, and a few days later started seeing pins.
I think the pinset is pretty good, but can anyone offer up some advice? Hole size, spacing, etc.
Right now these are just fruiting outside with temps in the 75-40 range, and lots of rain/humidity the last few days.
My last wellington grow grew way lighter colored mushrooms. Could the lower temps cause them to grow darker?
Thanks in advance

Looks good, misting directly between rains. And yes darker colors typically come with cooler temps.

Lower temps cause slower /darker growth. better texture tho!

Thanks man, they're a mix of 1/2" and 1", but the 1/2" holes suck and I'll be bumping them up to all 1" for sure.

awesome. I was trying to gauge when to harvest 'em. I was planning on bringing some to a dinner tonight anyways, so that works out perfect.

Nice. Ive seen the baby pins freeze solid, only to thaw and resume growth as if nothing happened...
