Partial colonised monotub pinning

So my monotub was about 90% colonised and was looking nice and healthy (3rd pic) before it accidentally got knocked over. The substrate stayed in the tub but was all broken up except one corner.
I pulled the liner out and packed all the dirt back together and put it back in the closet for colonisation. It’s been 5 days and barely looks any better... but I did notice a few pins forming and am worried they may rot and contaminate during the slow consolidation period.
Any ideas or thoughts on what to do?

If it were isolated you could try cutting out the patch pinning, but more than likely it wouldn't work out right anyways...if it were me I'd just initiate fruiting and get what I could rather than risk losing the whole tub. Is that third pic the tub now? Was it taken at the same time as the others? It looks much more colonized but I guess that could be angle/lighting.

No third pic was just before it tipped over. That colonised corner was the bit that survived.

Should I put a casing layer on it and put into fruiting?

After a bit of research it seems if it’s pinning during colonisation it can mean it’s the myceliums last ditch effort to fruit before being overtaken by a contaminate..
I was going to put it in fruiting conditions but If there’s any truth to this, should I chuck the tub to avoid contaminating my other tub?

Just let it ride.
If it turns green, then toss it.

When you say let it ride do you mean keep it in colonisation or put into fruiting conditions?

Alot of people skip the colonization step.
So considering everything, just fruit it.

Man how many pieces did it bust into?? I’ve broken some subs before but they still looked colonized.
lol it’s like all the knots fell off and the myc vanished.
Either way it should still be full of myc and colonized whether you can tell or not, I mean it can’t go anywhere right.
I’m with the let ride it team. I don’t see any reason for it to go bad.
