Misting and regular fresh air exchange questions, yellow water?

So, thanks to the users here for the help.
My monotubs had become a little too dry.
I am currently work from home and can pretty much attend to them 24/7.
I have read a light, open lid misting 4 to 6 times per day will prvide enough humidity and fresh air exchange, which I can do.
I have noticed, however, in the dips and valleys of the substrate, that water is collecting and some of the pooled water is yellow. These are *very* small pools, maybe half a mm across at most. What's up with that?
Question is, are these puddles okay? Will it eventually be absorbed or should I wait to mist again? I am fanning the tubs when they are opened.
Thanks everyons! :-D

Dab any pooling water lightly with a paper towel. If it's already been there for too long then that's allowing contams to settle on the sub. Also, you shouldn't be misting or fanning a mono 4-6 times a day..if any at all.

Definitely shouldn't be, My polyfil was packed too lightly so I guess I lost moisture.

Thanks everyons! :-D
I find tipping my tubs on their side gets rid of the pooling water and makes the mushrooms grow more because the gravity makes them sag down and stretch like a flacid penis.....

How about some pictures?

Dialing in tubs is something dynamic. If you have wayyy too much condensation pooling and I tell you to increase FAE to evaporate it off, that means that you do the poly back up once it's evaporated. Otherwise it then swings to the other extreme and dries the hell out.
If your furnace runs or AC is cranked that might change how you need to dial things in opposed to when those are not going. The tub on the top of a stack might get more FAE than the bottom ones because of the extra weight sealing the bottom lids tighter than the top ones. Small things like that must be accounted for.
I can look at a tub and see if it's wet or dry. I can tell you to increase or restrict FAE based off of that. But it's up to the cultivator to watch the small stuff that I don't know about.

Okay, post edited to reflect the proper sentiment. Those two statements were meant to be separate. I couldn't have done anything at all without the shroomery users. Nothing but gratitude.
My own inexperience let my tubs get too dry.

Yeah, lame...
You need to be able to post pictures. It's the only way you'll ever get to learn from your hobby.

Well without pics it's like a busboy trying to perform heart surgery by telling a thoracic surgeon what he sees over the phone.
"Okay so I think I got the ribs spread. There's a lot of red stuff and. . .Some yellow shit. Wait is that bone? WTF is this? K wait. I think I see the heart. Where do I start cutting? I get a tip for this right?"
