PE Pinned but won't mature... thoughts?

Hi All,
I've got PE growing in a 28L monotub spawned with rye berries in commercially sourced poo mix in 1:2 ratio. Colonized for 10 days, put in fruiting conditions 17 days ago.
Had been misting sub and fanning 2x daily for first 10 days.
Pins formed on day 7.
On day 10 I had to leave town for a couple days, and on day 13 I returned to find the pins had not grown at all.
I have a second tub of SSKS of identical age and parameters that was ready to harvest when I got home, now on 2nd flush.
I was super optimistic about this pinset... any thoughts on next steps? I've seen suggestions to dunk and increase FAE. So far I've increased misting/fanning to 4x daily (hence bruising in image) and did a very heavy mist last night where I pooled some in the corner and let it drip under the sub.
I compared this AM to the day I got home from my trip and zero growth (not just slow growth). No obvious signs of contamination.
Can anyone clarify what causes this? Thanks so much!

Those are blobs they usually come with the first flush of pe.they are fine just as good as the actual mushroom they will be done when they are soft to the touch

Yeah PE needs a real casing for the first flush.
Once the blobs are soft they’re ready and pop off clean usually. You’ve got a lot of tiny ones for some reason it’s gonna be a pain in the ass. I’ve heard for this situation when they’re ripe you can just run your hand over the surface and roll them off, but idk.
Second flush should be actual shrooms hopefully.

Yeah bro, I direct 90% of my growing to PE
Case with cactus soil, verm and lime. Look for lotkids pe advice. You can find It in my journal in useful links. You'll get nice big mutants and less small shity blobs, or none at all and great flushes. I love pe. If you like PE and dont want to put in the extra work you can find some melmac spores. Search around you'll find them they wont blob like pe does, no case needed and solid pe looking fruits. Lighter coloured caps with the potency punch pe delivers. Enjoy.

Thanks all for the advice!
I've got another couple jars incubating right now and will make sure to case my next tub.
I just harvested the blobs and found that a little horizontal nudge can get them loose. I used a sterilized index card after some experimentation, making sure to only touch fruits and not sub, then tilted and tapped the tub to get them into one area for collection. Got 11.5g. Ouch.
I wonder whether my going away for a few days impacted the size of the blobs... maybe decreased fae and evaporation played a role?
Time to soak and cross my fingers.
Many thanks for the input!
