Shoebox Photos - Are They Okay - Misting?

The whiter ones are at 12 days and the browner ones are at 7 days. I always fret about moisture content and I am afraid my dumb ass will end up doing something stupid here like overmisting instead of leaving them alone. What should I do here?

that last pic makes me think moisture is good so what ever your doing keep at it. maybe a little heavy cuz now i see moisture beads running down the sides but sometimes thats unavoidable. I'd get them off the floor and deff not open them on the ground. at this point a contam is either already there or the myc will out compete it for realty space but I read somewhere theres way more contams on the ground than up higher.
lookin good though fruits of your labor are right around the corner.

Substrate colonization should be set-it-and-forget-it, at very least until pins start forming on the surface. Are you opening the lids to check for moisture daily, or was it just for these photos?
Try to open these up as little as possible until the surface is fully colonized. If your substrate is properly hydrated, general consensus for shoeboxes is that you ideally shouldn't have to fret about misting for the entire first flush... unless your ambient room humidity is insanely low.
If you haven't seen it already, I'd recommend ShaperDreaming's SFF Shoebox Tek for advice on heavily misting the top layer. That's super foolproof for getting a properly hydrated first flush.
Last but not least, I can't tell anything about your surface conditions based on these zoomed-out overhead photos, but something tells me you should just chill and take your own advice—leave 'em alone!
Good luck, keep us posted.

Looks like a PE variety. Those are blobs. Pe likes a casing. You can still pick and dry the blobs when they get soft. They will be potent lol

You don't need 5 threads for your grow. Make one and BE PATIENT... This is the third time I've seen you ask this question yo, the best tool we have here is the search function. And every thread you make adds to the library making it harder to use.
