Flushes aren't always concrete. The shrooms look ok sized to me, why didn't you roll in verm like the others?

It's probably fine. Keep at it and see what happens with your full run of these cakes. The first grow is a big learning experience, so just pay attention and see what you can learn. I'd personally be more worried about your nasty fingernails than your successful grow

Doing a gentle roll with pins is fine.

Yes, that's the first flush.
They only fruited from the bottom because no verm meant there wasn't much surface moisture for them to pin up top.
Your other cakes will probably do better having been rolled in verm. I would say roll that cake in verm now to prepare it for the second flush
Good work!

A tip, trim that foil smaller and group your cakes closer together, like 1 1/2-2" apart they'll help each other's micro climate.

try to get yourself some good agar going and make a nice lc this should give you a more uniform colonization, pinset, ext. not to mention all that inoculant nice fattys would be nice to isolate IMO
