Mushroom growth stunted? Any remedy?

Hey guys. I'm a bit worried about the final mushrooms growing from my first flush. 4 out of 7 of cakes were spent so I decided to dunk them, but the last 3 had healthy mushrooms growing. The problem is theyre growing terribly slow. I'm under the impression the cake is spent, or nearly spent, but I'm not sure if I should continue giving the mushrooms time to grow or just cut my losses and take them as they are.

Three days ago they weren't much shorter than they are now, while every other mushroom I had grown from these 7 cakes would grow from that stage into a fully matured mushroom overnight.
Any opinions? They look so healthy, the idea of picking them early causes my heart to ache. Is there anything I can do to facilitate their growth?

Where are the holes at for your FC? Cakes perform better in a sgfc. Also you should be able to pull off several more flushes before a cake is considered spent nutrient wise. As for the fruits that you have, let them continue maturing. Increased FAE will get rid of those fuzzy feet too.

This and also it looks dry as hell in there. I would bottom water those cakes, and get some holes in that chamber asap.

I appreciate all the quick responses :') I'm quickly falling in love with this community.
I bought the tub as part of a grow kit and it comes with three holes about half an inch in diameter on the opposite side of the tub. The humidity is a constant 99%. If I can harvest these last batches of mushrooms on these 3 cakes, my total yield for my first flush should be about an ounce. Should I be fruiting more per flush? My cakes are half pint.
How would I go about watering the bottom? Spray the base of the cake?

No. Set the cake in a saucer of water for a few hours or until it wicks up a significant amount from the plate. It won't wick up all of it so you'll always put more than you need on the saucer.
After, take the plate out of the chamber and put it back onto foil. Let it brrrrreeeeath. Maybe even level the lid off your chamber for a few hours and come back and fan it every so often. Only lightly mist of the surface is dry.
Also, maintaining 99% humidity constantly is not necessarily a good thing if you are lacking FAE. Grow kit companies usually design their chambers shitty, but we have great methods to fix them or modify them.
Try looking up RRs SGFC tek and follow the design specs. Or for your next batch you could try spawning to a bulk sub with grain, and do a Monotub tek.
Always follow our teks to the "T". Don't skip steps or stray from designs. If I had a dollar for every person that modified one of our teks.... Lol.

Yeah, kits blow. They are a serious waste of cash.
You can make a chamber 100x better than one of these kits for about 10 bucks or less.
