Looks like you should have used a liner to prevent that while using such thick substrate. doesn't look like a small enough tub to birth and place within a chamber large enough to support those side pins. You may end up having to pull them by hand which is a pain. Now I'm not saying do this but think about possible ways of birthing that into something with more room.

No, Gordo is right. No need for a liner. Next time, focus on your surface conditions and substrate moisture. Let it go for now, putting a liner at this point may do harm than good. Skip the liner dude and get that surface condition dialed in

your surface conditions are lacking combined with lack of FAE.

Next time, use a thinner substrate. Thick substrates rarely produce as much product as two or three thinner substrates.
Also, place a bright light directly overhead if you want them to grow straight up. Mushrooms will generally grow opposite gravity, but if bright light is at another angle, they will grow toward that. High frequency light such as 'daylight' or 6500 K lamps will produce the largest fruits. RR
