I keep getting subpar pinsets like this one. My last boxes I overmisted and didn't realize until it was too late. These ones I barely misted. 2 q spawn, 2 q cvg with 1/4 " pseudo casing... I soaked the grains from 15 minutes before spawning. I'm guessing I just need to dial in my surface conditions for a better pinset?

Should i crack the lids of these, or let em pin on their own?
Also, is the spikey myc okay?
I took the best pics i could without opening the lid. They were spawned on 05/08/2018, 6 days ago.

That's aerial mycellium. Is your lid on tight?

I'm in the same situation as you right now. Every one I made so far is just very little amount of mushrooms. But most have been only up to 1 pint of spawn. A qt of substrate and in a shoebox set in a Monotub FC but my fault it is not working I'm guessing cause how I have my FC set up but my dub tub are also having a hard time getting close to even half a canopy haha

Sometimes genetics can help a lot. Taking some clones from clusters might help get s better pinset. If you used 1 qt of spawn using 2 instead might help. My bad you said you used two. Waiting longer to introduce fae might help a bit too.
The aerial myc is possibly due to lack of fae
You could do either, it's your choice, I would maybe flip the lids

The lid is just snapped on, nothing holding it down. I thought the shoebox would have enough GE as is.
I want to start fruiting, but only if you guys think its colonized enough, im quite noobish.
Its only been 6 days since spawn, it ate up the sub like candy! (Although the spores took 3.5 weeks to germinate, +2.5 weeks more to colonize lol)
Should i consolidate first?
And happy to see mushboy back on!!!

You don't need to consolidate.
Prolonging high co2 and delaying fruiting conditions can sometimes be bad.
But with shoeboxes, you are right, it should get about enough ge with the lid on. If my myc was like that I think I would flip the lid, but I usually wait for pin formation before I take the lid off myself.
Does it have a casing / top layer ?
Technically it's already considered to be in "fruiting" stage.
I thought the aerial myc was a sign of low fae, which is why I would flip the lid for s little extra air, but I could be wrong.
Should be fine either way really to be honest, I can't really say which way would be best for you.
But definitely keep an eye on things and keep us updated, if the myc isn't getting enough air and the co2 is too high it can begim to be matted I believe, which can make fruiting and pinset a little worse and more difficult

Just a shoutout to mushboy coming back and for all the great info on this thread.
My workspace is currently 11 shoeboxes being rotated with different varieties of cubensis (plus a few for exotics and PE varieties) that are producing well and allowing me to get prints to accomplish my personal goal of running a generation and doing a giveaway of as many varieties as I can trade for.
Wouldn't be able to do what I am looking for without the shoebox method, so props
