possible contams? too much yellow for norm?

Strain is an albino cubensis hybrid
Seemed to be good colonization then my chamber seemed to have a faulty thermostat and accidentally reached scorching temps I was furious to say the least probably got excess of 90 degrees f.
Any help on this would be great Not my only cake but only one this yellow by far
Can I save it?
Also no pins barely whatsoever

It's dried out, and the cake has shrunk. Too much waster lost, probably rapidly.

Had a small chunk fruiting in same chamber and it literally killed off all fruits in 1 day Had to pick and redunk I pulled any contaminated area off and placed into the chamber again and already seeing pins on the chunk but I don't know what to do with the large cake

I was also scared of contams by going too heavy on the spray as I'm using essentially a monotube but larger to accommodate several fruiting trays but I'm a beginner and don't know what I'm doing lol

You should not need to dunk like that to achieve pinning, and then end up with aborting. The setup is not adequate, and the relative air humidity is not high enough.
Look for a better fruiting method and buy a hygrometer

Well thing is, now I have figured out to maintain temp and humidity better, I have successfully pins and few day old small mushrooms in other trays This was the first fully colonized so it saw first the faulty chamber
The revised chamber seemed to be fruiting fineand I will share photos of that soon

These images are 2 days old and these have nearly doubled in size and quadrupled in numbers
So I assume the conditions are adequate but that one first try was a fatal mistake

I also mist 3 times daily as my apartment is dry in the winter months but seems to have healthy growth in all other trays except the albino

Don't worry about temperature when fruiting, if they're getting enough fresh air the evaporation will keep them cool.

Don't be scared to mist but like he said if your misting a tub before first flush I don't think its that efficient nor adequate.. But those no hole monos I have to mist every other day and HARD Lol I spray the shit outta em

A hygrometer will still allow you to tune your fruiting conditions, and build chambers. They are not expensive even a cheap £2 from Amazon or eBay will do.
You can hang them or use sticky pads, blu-tack, velcro.
