First time grower, question about my fruiting monotub

Hello guys ! I'm very much sorry if this is not the good place for this, it's my first post on here ! As mentioned in the title it’s my first time growing shroom and so I expect I did some mistake haha
I birthed the tub around 20days ago, colonization went smooth and around a week ago I had my first pin, followed some days after by others. I used BOD unmodified monotub in my closet, using only coir as substrate without adding anything and no casing layer, misting several time every day and managing FAE as best as I could for stealth purposes. And now the fruiting is going fine (tho maybe a little slow compared to what I saw online) and I have a few question ( here are pictures of the tub https://imgur.com/YPSQFdI )
As you can see the “big” one as a crack on top and I wonder why, I read it’s because of low FAE and/or too much humidity but I would like to know your opinion on this !
Also there is “bluish/yellowish” mycelium on the corner (not sure you can see that very well on the pic but I tried haha) since a week, I don’t think it’s contamination since it hasn’t spread at all and react negatively to the q-tip test, so I’m thinking it can be bruising and metabolites but again I’m new and I would like to know if it’s contamination or not (and if so if I can eat my shroom safely) !
Thanks you all in advance, I wouldn’t have managed to do anything without this wonderful community !

You may be fanning to much. Splitting mush tips, bruising yellowing, all usually signs of too dry surface conditions. I'd just mist and fan twice a day for a few days leaving the lid on upside down. See if your surface conditions improve.

Thank you very much man I'm relived, my fruiting chamber is in a closet and I have to admit I was really worried about FAE so I guess I overdid it ! (Also I realized that I'm extremely stupid and gave the link to only one pic, here you go https://imgur.com/a/HSRaqn8 ) So if i understand correctly they should be safe to eat if it doesn't seems to be contamination right ? I honestly still have trouble understanding *how* to fan, should I just open my closet with the lid upside down ? put a fan in the FC ? or something else ?

This thread talks about surface conditions some of the info is old but it should help a lot. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23999053
You just mist and try to get them tiny water droplets sorta, no pools. Then use the lid to fan it so it's all fresh air in it. Then set the lid on upside down so it can breathe a little. Maybe even ever so barely cracked open. Don't use a fan in a closet it will dry it out even faster. If you can keep the closest door cracked open without compromising hiding it then do that otherwise it should be good to do all these things for a few days no matter what.

Oh and fruits are ok to eat just as long as the mushroom themselves aren't contaminated with growth and rot on them. They're vegetables so just don't eat rotten vegetables and you're good to go.

A good rule I stuck to is to mist until you see the first few droplets form on the substrates surface, then fan until they evaporate, 2-3 times a day. Stop misting once pins form.
