small fruits - advice needed!

Any help appreciated around this. I have a mini-mono with very small fruits. The pines looked good and everything looked fine then the veils all just started breaking.
Nearly all veils have broken in the tub The shroom in the first picture is the biggest in the tub
Often I have a problem with side pinning but yields are ok. This time I have no side pins but the yield is tiny
Could the substrate be too wet? Any other ideas?

Yeah too wet I'd say, caps are all real dark brown and looks like most of them have the dark stripe running up the stalk.

Good to know. I am a novice myself new to the hobby. A few months ago there was a local meetup group that offered an online lab where they give us supplies and then teach us how to grow oyster mushrooms at home at the weekly zoom meetings. I have gotten way more into it than just the stuff we do at meetings but I still have tons and tons to learn and experience.
I poured some water out of one of my tubs because it was pooling at the bottom and I know that is too much but I didn't know what it would do, now I do so thank you! with more FAE and no pooled water things look much better.

Thanks Kmacmo - is a dark stripe sign of too wet substrate? Never heard of this before

Well I harvested these. Substrate didn't seem very wet on the surface. Should I give it a light misting rather than a dunk?

These are from a clone from a dense cluster of medium sized fruits, much larger than the ones just harvested, so I don't think it is a genetic problem

If it is your first flush they should get bigger second and third... IME first flush with some genetics can be smaller and then subsequent flushes make up for it in size.
