Never seen cakes with soo many pins on top, looks cool tho! They'll take at least a couple more days to fully mature. Pick them when the veil is breaking from the stem.

Those need a misting bad. The pinning locations are indeed unusual though... Is that some stroma going on?
You seen how many noobs like to use that one azur? You started a new wave of dick swingin.

I actually took these photos right after a misting, they were glistening when I held my phones flashlight to them, it just looks much dryer in these pics. I think its because my vermiculite doesnt get darker when wet for some reason. Also what is stroma?

You can also check your perlite to see if it is still properly hydrated.
Perlite will dry out quicker if the holes in your tub are too close together or too big. I made that mistake with my last SGFC, my cakes dried out in a week and it was because of the poor design letting in too much FAE.

So my biggest fuck up so far is that to hydrate my perlite i just poured a bunch of water all over it while it was in the sgfc, mixed it around with my hands and let the water drain out the bottom holes. Which is unconventional but seemed to work. I did this twice, once to add more perlite because there was only like 3 inches originally. All this movement of my cakes is what has made them bruise so much but it doesnt seem to have messed up the fruiting too badly.
How wet should perlite feel to the touch? When I put my fingers in it, it feels cool and slightly damp but my fingers do not appear wet when i look at them.

Yeah I forgot to mention that you want to gently remove your cakes prior to rehydrating the perlite. It's all good tho, bruising is not that big of a deal, and they should still continue to pin up.
The perlite should feel damp. For me, most of the perlite sticks to my hand after moving it around, that's how you know it is properly hydrated.

Ok i just misted the shit out of my perlite and even poured a little water on it allowing it to drain from the bottom.
Kind of amazing how fast these things are growing, theyre noticeably larger than when i took these pics this morning. Stoked!
Any idea what my yield might be? I hope to get 3 flushes out of these 7 cakes and i have another 10 jars colonizing at the moment.

Actually anytime after 12 noon is considered afternoon. So 11 in the afternoon would be 11pm

So we're gonna pretend it doesn't stop being afternoon when it starts being evening? Afternoon is a specific time of day. Nobody says "this afternoon" with the intention of doing something at 11pm.
I mean, if you wanna get really literal, everything is afternoon, since last month's first tuesday had a noon and it's long since passed. I'm too high for you to be shattering my idea of reality right now, holmes.

Am and pm is Latin, am stands for before mid day (noon) and pm stands for after mid day (noon)

Lol what I interpreted it as...
Theres a country song "it's 5 o'clock somewhere". Just saying that 9 o'clock in a 24 hour system, online on a global scale just makes no sense to me lol. It's 9 o'clock somewhere bitches.

Lol I didnt expect this post to become a "what is time" conversation, but i fucks with it.
Im doing quite a bit of misting, so I don't think theyre dry, there are beads of water on the cakes in these photos they just cant be seen cause i didnt have the flash on. Either way, I've moistened the perlite and have been misting whenever i see that the shrooms are dry even if the cake has some moisture still. I just don't want to overwater.

No..... the cake has to dry out between mistings, the mushrooms don't care nearly as much, in fact I avoid them once they're halfway mature just because I don't like drying to take so long. It's more important to hit the cake than the mushrooms.

So I can see that I am getting some fuzzy feet, is this because I over misted yesterday in response to this thread? Should I just not mist as much today?

They look amazing, good job!! 
You can just fan them out more to reduce the fuzzy feet, but it's really not that serious. Keep doin what you're doing! 
edit: Oh, and def look into cloning mushrooms from the top of the cake, for more consistent potency and higher fruiting potential in your future grows. Gotta get into that agar work first tho!

That's not true, the first thing about agar is that it's called agar and you just nailed that one, so we're already off to a good start. Just do the same with the other 100 things about agar.

Those are some of the best cakes i've seen, I say your doing good yo nice job and welcome
I'm still a noob pretty much but some of my best looking mushrooms had fuzzy feet 
Out of your 7 cakes i bet you get about 2 dry oz's
By the looks of your pictures you'll be harvesting in a day or so You can let em all blossom and watch the caps open which is pretty cool to watch, but i like to harvest when the veil is just starting stretch.
Like this picture or even a little before that
