There's so much great advice here, just wanted to make sure if what I'm growing looks OK. This is in a shoebox. There is one lone hugeish mushroom b/c during the colonization phase (BRF tek) one of the jars went much faster and I guess I waited too long - I then left it in.
Do the pics look OK? Also, should I just toss the lone guy who has fruited? It is covered in white fuzz too.
Thank you!

Pick the loner before he dumps spores, but don't toss him! It's a cube! Eat it!!!!!
The rest of the mycelium looks fine to me... but I don't have a ton of mileage with spotting early contams, so take that with a grain of salt. There's one spot that looks a bit blue-green tinged, but I can't tell if it's actually a thing, or just color variation in the photo.
Either way, keep doing what you've been doing! You should see pins soon.

Looks super dry. Walls barely have condensation, no surface moisture. I think you may need to reduce FAE (turn off your fans, seal whatever holes you have going).

Thank you all for the feedback, and really sorry for the blurry pics. I just took some more with the flash on. It could be a compression issue - I was trying to be mindful of the upload limit and that people don't seem to like imgur.
Two things: it actually seems really wet - the lid is dripping and a lot of water was sticking to it (maybe a few ounces, which dripped below). I just have the shoebox lid on and opened/closed it briefly twice in the one week it's been in the shoebox.
Second, there are two blueish spots. One blueish spot has a pin, the other does not - I tried to take pics of both as best I could.
Any further thoughts? Let me know if the pics still suck, I'll figure something out.

Looks like it’s just bruising from dryness.
Ok so I’m curious how this went down, you had an invitro mushroom in the brf jar and then transplanted it into the shoebox??
That’s pretty funny I’ve never seen anybody try that.

Right, so I had five BRF jars and one didn't take so I tossed it. One of the jars colonized super fast and the other three were lagging. The one that colonized super fast ended up having a shroom about 2.5 inches long smushed up against the side of the jar. By the time I noticed that, I figured I would just throw all four jars into the shoebox together, and I actually noticed one other slightly large growth from another jar (this one was more like an inch long).
I honestly had no idea what to do, so just broke up all the cakes, didn't throw away the mushroom and kind of just let it settle into the shoebox lol. It is now huge.
So considering the bruising, I'm guessing I should start misting, which I will do now.
Any other thoughts are very welcome!

I'm back with more pics. Right now, I have two gigantic ones, the larger one from before, and something that's growing below the surface.
Does anyone have any advice? Should I harvest these large ones and then just wait on the others? Incidentally, I just have removed the lid of the shoebox and am double boxing it.

Another update with some pics.
Is the large looking one normal? I'm guessing I should have harvested it earlier as it looks like it dropped spores everywhere. Is it normal that it opened so huge and looks so different from the others?
Any other observations would be welcome!

So I haven't really gotten any pins yet. I'm double-shoeboxing, mist regularly, and am applying light for 12 hours. Does anyone have any other suggestions? I got like 4 or 5 full shrooms, but the rest of the tub is not doing anything.
