Yeah not stretching yet either. At least wait til they're stretching lol. I usually actually wait until they're teared off, but that's just my preference

Yeah it all looks good. Small mushies are better than no mushies. Bacteria does tend to do that if it's in your sub. Looks as the mushrooms in my sig. All from bacterial spawn. They grew okay, but notice how they are kinda small.
Bacteria will affect yield 90% of the time. Just depends on the type of bacteria and how aggressive it is.

Spawn was definitely contaminated with bacteria. It had the funky sweet smell.

Looks like I may have misted too much yesterday. This morning I woke up to some indented mushroom caps and some dark spots,

The blotch. This happens when the caps stay wet for too long.
Other than that looking good!

Yeah. Unless you have mold growing on your mushies, they can safely be consumed without anxiety about being harmful.

Does a lot of weight get added to the mushroom after the veil breaks?

A little. After the veil breaks, you still usually have a few hours before full maturity. At that point you will begin to see spores drop, indicated by a dark purple/black discoloration on the broken veil and stem. If you wait too long past this point, it will drop loads of spores, on the tops of the mushrooms and turn them black. This could effect future flushes negatively and tend to make your mushrooms taste pretty horrid.
Get them out before that happens.

Not a lot, but I like to wait until the veil breaks just in case psilocybin is still being produced. I think after the viel breaks you are reaching the point of diminishing returns as far as weight and potency go.

It's honestly a matter of personal preference OP. Some harvest before the veils even break. Some after. Some a few hours after.
It's whatever you want, whatever you're aiming for. If you don't want spores everywhere, harvest just after the veils break. If you want absolutely clean with no spores at all, harvest right before it breaks. If you want to make a few prints with some sporulating caps, harvest just as they are depositing spores.

Decided to harvest a few of them,

Based on the look of this tub, can anyone estimate how much it'll be dry? (dime for scale)

Maybe a half oz dry? It's hard telling really. Who knows. Weight isn't about size, it's about how dense they are, so I'm not sure anybody can accurately tell you this.
I can tell you that 90% weight is water.
