My first post and my first grow, NO PINS day 9

Hello everyone let me begin by saying im a complete noob at this and would appreciate any help from you guys.
Straight to be point ive been trying to grow some APE everything has gone well except for the fruiting stage, I started fruiting about 7 days after i layered mycelium and substrate I allowed it to colonize the substrate it appeared that on the 7th day it was fully colonized although im beginning to suspect it wasnt, maybe should have let it consolidate a little longer.
About three days ago i started seeing some yellow here and there im hoping its just metabolites.
My substrate is a mix of coco coir and vermiculite.

APE is a slow fruiter and cand can take up to a month or more to pin. The only thing you can do is being patient and give the tub good conditions until then, but so far conditions don't look very good, so that's the thing you have to fix.
That surface is looking dry and the yellow stuff might be mycelium drying. Lose the light on the lid, it's certainly worsening the problem and it could have easily created it in the first place.
If I was you, I'd apply a peat/vermiculite casing later right now, it's gonna do it so much good. That and definitely lose the light. Natural ambient light from a window is going to be enough.
This is how I prep the casing for PE varieties:

Looks dry, humidity looks low. Still has time to be saved. 😊

It really sucks because up until I added the light and started fruiting it looked so perfect
Ive moved it into another room the window has no curtons or anything I'm getting a casing layer prepped for it as well.
Ever since I added that light after about 2 or 3 days I couldnt keep it moist enough ive been giving a generous misting 3 to 4 times a day and within about 2 pr 3 hours its dry again.
Thank you all for your input up until about 2 months ago I knew nothing about mushroom

You didn't come here too late, that tub has an easy fix. Nothing looks bad except for the bad surface conditions.
Another thing... Before adding the casing don't forget to mist the surface down really good. And once you finish adding the casing give it a generous mist too. Then just forget about it and I doubt you'll have to mist again until it pins. Mist only when needed and when in doubt you can ask us here.
Your first grow, so far so good.

you need to use a casing layer about 1/2 to 1 inches. if you end up casing the tub take it out of fruiting conditions and let the casing get colonized about 20-30% then put it back in fruiting conditions and try to get that light off the tub, having it directly on the tub itself cant be good.
someone correct me if you cant just take something out of fruiting conditions and go back to colonizing

Lol this will be my first ape experience. Only ever tried golden teacher, atleast that's what they looked like, many years ago most I took was 3.5 give or take .1 .2 not sure the exact amount didnt go into any dimensions just had a really good time.

3.5 of ape will take you to different dimensions (probably).
