If you have shrooms growing, I'd say you are doing alright! Maybe move this thread over to the getting started page. Harvest around the time the veil break. Make as many spore prints as possible, Bod has a great spore printing tek. The pictures you see here with the super full canopy flushes are done usually with cloned genetics, climate controlled Martha tents, and lots of experience. Keep reading and trying new things and you will see yourself improve!

How did you inoculate your spawn? What substrate did you use? Spawn to substrate ratio? How long did the spawn take to colonize the sub? How long has the sub been fully colonized/in fruiting conditions? Is that an unmodified tub? More info would be helpful to folks who are willing to help you 
Anyway yeah, you actually got fruits... that's more than a lot of first time growers can say. If this grow started with a spore syringe inoculation, then there's pretty much no surefire way to tell exactly "what" went wrong, as the genetic variance of a multispore grow will make trying to ascertain any other problems more of an uphill battle. I recommend researching agar work/cloning. Congrats on seeing some fruits though. That in itself should be seen as an achievement for a first time.

Thanks for the great feedback! I inoculated rye grains with a spore syringe. Used a 1:1 spawn to manure based substrate ratio. I used Bods unmodified tek and basically never fanned or misted. I really appreciate everyone here being so helpful.

Your sub is insanely dry. 1:1 is a super high ratio and generally not used for a few reasons. One of which is that it really cuts down on the amount of available water for the grow. I'm gonna say you probably prepped your poo on the dry side.

Also, this is a fine place for the post. It's called mush cult for a reason.

I went ahead and harvested what I could. Is there anything I can do to help the substrate now or is it too late? Thanks.

Those are some beefy fruits. Nice. Give her a good drink. I'd pour a good amount of water down the side and let the sub drink it up for a day or two. If there's any left after she quits drinking, dump it out, mist and let carry on.
