Never Thought I Would Get This Far!?!

Hello Shroomery, Please someone explain to me what I am seeing and how I proceed from here. Substrate isn’t fruiting evenly (are these pins or fruiting bodies?), should I just let it continue doing it’s thing without worrying too much. I’m now misting sides of Monotub when they dry out. How do I ensure these go the distance? Thanks and blessings to all!
Pin or Fruiting Body?:

Rest of Substrate:

Pins are just tiny fruits.
That looks healthy man good job.
Literally the only thing is maybe level it out more next time, but you should get a good run from the tub.
Just make sure to keep it misted and evaporating right now so it puts out lots of pins.

Thank you for your kind words! I’m kicking myself in the ass so tough about not leveling it out, I saw BOD’s video the day after I packed the tub. Learning experience.

What’s weird, and maybe it’s from not being level idk, is I don’t see any knots.
Has it been looking like those pics the whole time?
I would definitely give it a little misting, if it wasn’t for the pins it would just look like a nicely colonized surface that hasn’t started fruiting yet.

It’s looked like this the whole time, the mycelium was growing up the mounds that exist on the substrate matrix surface. I was honestly surprised to see fruiting bodies as I had not seen any evidence of pinning. Should I be concerned?

There's a little overlay likely hiding most of the hyphal knots. The pins are pushing up through it. Nothing to worry about. Nice work.

I berieve youre supposed to mist the sub not the walls, condensation building and evaporating on walls is just from temp fluctuation from warmer tub(fungal metabolism at work) and cooler outside of tub. You want evap from the substrate surface

I don't see overlay, but maybe more FAE would help. And more misting.

Should I be misting walls of tub or substrate?

I feel like I got myself into uncharted waters here as I was originally intending to go with Bod’s unmodified tek but that tote got contaminated while this Polyfil Monotub ending up producing fruit. How should I modify my methodolgy for FAE and how often/where should I be misting? Also, could anyone point me to a TEK that is up to date about monotubs? Thank you.

As far as FAE goes, with the modified tubs as long as there air is moving around the tub a bit (ie fan in the room) you should be good. If you don't have enough air flow the shrooms will tell u (really thin stems and lots of fuzzy myc around the base).

Now if you have too much fae youll see drying of the sub which leads to extra metabolites and bruising of the mycelium (look for the myc to have browning, graying, blueing, etc). You should really only mist if you see signs of your sub drying out.
What you want is the sweet spot where you don't get thin stems or fuzzy feet, and you rarely have to mist. To quantify rarely have to mist, you should be able to spawn to bulk and go all the way to fruit without misting.
