This block gets blue. What am I doing wrong?

Its day 4 in the fruiting stage. I know its too early but from what i've read a lot of people don't get bruising like this. This is B+ btw.
I mist (2-3 times a day if needed) I fan (4-5 times a day) relative humidity at 90% temp at around 75-77 F
What are you guys thoughts? I heard i should dunk because the bruising is possibly because I do not have enough water. If i should dunk how long should I dunk for?

Did you take this picture just after misting? Too much moisture or too much FAE (which leads to being too dry) are both common causes of bruising. Contamination could also, but it's hard to tell if that's the case with your picture and my eye.

That's a funny shaped cake, I tried to make homemade bread once and it looked just like this.  I agree with Methodical, I'd venture to say it's drying out between mistings, which could indicate to much FAE. All in all, it's not in terrible shape.
Also I can see your toes.

Thanks for seeing my toes 😊. Im probably just being stupid paranoid about it because I felt like I wasn't misting enough but it could just be the result of doing too much FAE. I increased my misting and kept my FAE about the same. Should I even dunk this thing or just kept it how I have it with obviously cutting down on fanning?

Yeah I just misted it. Probably a little to much mist because I thought I wasn't misting it enough. Should I even give this thing a dunk and roll or just leave it?

I would wait to see a first flush before trying to dunk it. Fanning is a pretty dated practice, and today many will argue it isn't necessary since the passive air exchange should suffice in getting stale (high CO2) air out. If skipping the fanning doesn't fix your issue, cover up some holes in your fruiting chamber.

You should trim the foil to about the side of the cake, that way water is evaporating from the perlite all up on the cake itself and it will just give you more surface area overall for evap.
