State of shoebux tub (Shrinking subtrate and knots?)

My substrate is shrinking away from the wall of my tub on one side. Is this due to dehydration or could it just be the mycelium digesting my sub? Both the surface and sides are filled with condensation drops.

And are these tiny white dots on my substrate hyphal knots?

By the way, I'm a bit confused as to what the posting etiquette on here is like. Am I good to post a question like this in a new thread or should I rather have posted in the thread of the tek I am following? 
All help appreciated!

The shrinking away from the sides of the tub is a normal sign of healthy colonization, and those are hyphal knots forming. As for the etiquette, there is a thread for "general discusssion", but people make posts for questions like these frequently. Technically, this info can be found via the search engine; but there's much room for improvement in that regard on here; as well as a "floating standard".

The shrinking is from the myc digesting the coir. That's a big plus!
Yes those white dots are knots!
Yes post in your own thread is perfectly fine.

Yea, I could have assumed the answer to my questions from the searching I did beforehand. I suppose I'm just guilty of wanting the extra confirmation on my own growth
