Mushrooms only growing on dark side of substrate?

So one of my cakes has started producing pretty large pins but what is puzzling me is that all the shrooms are growing in dark areas of the substrate, the cide which doesn't face the sunlight from my windows. From what I know, pins need sunlight to know when to start growing mushrooms and shrooms only grow in the presence of sunlight so I was wondering if anyone knows why this is, is direct sunlight too much light?
Got phat pins on top but there a loads near the bottom where it's even darker.

Direct sunlight for more than 15-30 minutes a day is in fact too much, looks to be drying out one side of the cake.

After the first flush, could I dunk and roll to save it?

Well, that wouldn't exactly save it. Rolling is for right after birthing, before the first flush. Rolling after a first flush gives a great environment for the bacteria and mold spores that have landed on the cake during fruiting. A dunk could be beneficial but it sounds like moving it a bit further from the window.
I also don't see any holes. Is that a SGFC or just a plastic tub?
