How are my two grows looking?

Hello everyone! I'm new to this hobby and would like some feedback on how my grows are going. I keep everything (inoculated bags, tubs) in a closet at 77F in the dark.
For this one, I mixed the spawn and bulk substrate on 4/28. I opened up the tub on 5/6 to trigger fruiting conditions and have been giving it FAE twice a day and misting the walls and lid of the tub. I have also given it a very light and indirect misting over the mycelium when it looked like no tiny water droplets were on it. This is how it's looking today. I did not mist anything today as everything is looking pretty humid.


The other one I put in the tub and started fruiting conditions before it was fully colonized. Started opening it up and giving it air on 4/28. Been giving it air twice a day and misting walls and lid and maybe once indirectly. This is what it looks like today.


This is really cool to do but the waiting is so hard, I'm a little impatient sometimes. When I don't see much change after days, I get anxious. Anyways, how do you all think this is looking? Hopefully I don't mess anything up. When should I expect to see pinning and fruits coming in?
Thanks!

You’ll get more replies if you upload your pics here instead of using external hosting sites.
From the one I clicked on, it looks good. You should expect pins within about 7 days now.
Try not to mist or fan. You want conditions to be managed passively via how much air gets in through the lid gaps (in case of a shoebox or unmod tub), or your upper and lower air holes (in case of large monotub).

I have uploaded the pictures onto this site and updated the image links, thanks for the tip!
Yeah, both of these are each in a large monotub with holes covered by micropore tape. So I should just leave them alone? I figured that that holes are there to provide whatever air exchange is needed but everything I have seen online says to open the lid and give it some air. I got 6 low holes along the long sides and 4 high ones along the short sides for a total of 10 holes.

At this point in the grow, with that much surface colonization, most of us would remove the MP tape on the bottom holes and stuff it with some polyfill to allow more air exchange. No reason to mess with the lid if you have holes on the sides at the top. You use those holes to regulate the airflow as well - you can partially cover them with MP tape etc.
