I found a few more throughout the day. I'd say they're pins. AWESOME!

Nothing looks bad. Substrate might be a bit dry they'd probably like a light misting from high up. Otherwise looking good.

just some constructive criticism for your next run:
your droplets are too big. the myc is getting a little matted down.
get a fine mister and dont spray directly at the sub. spray over the top and let the droplets fall. if you check my journal theres a thread there about maintaining proper surface conditions. it was a game changer for me, but other than that,
congrats. reap the fruits of your labor and do it again. clone the best fruit and be sure to post some harvest pics.
take care

Thank you guys both for the info and the help it is truly appreciated, now my next question is are these ready to be picked or should I still wait a little longer.
I was under the impression that when the Veil underneath the cap that's covering the gills starts to tear away from the gills they are about ready and since last night till now all the Caps have started flattening out and that round part underneath is definitely separated from the gills.
I know they seem like total newbie questions, and they are because this is my first time so I want to make sure I'm doing it right

Ok so I pulled all the ones that are ready. Which was about half, I cut the caps off of 5 to make prints with. I put aluminum foil in the oven for half hour at 400 degrees. Got each cap laying on their own piece of foil, covered to keep clean/sterile.
All correct so far?
These are the ones that were harvested,
What should I do about these stems with coco coir still attached?
I plan on drying everything in my toaster oven, lowest heat around 100f-120f with the door cracked. Hopefully this will dry them out. I dont have a dehydrator. But will get one sometime soon.

As always, Thank you to everybody who had helped! Especially Rumfor69, I sincerely appreciate you helping me along the way!

Printing should work like that. Spores aren't sterile to begin with. You'll have to learn agar next time and use them that way if you haven't yet.
You can trim the coir off with scissors or scrape it off with a knife. Toaster oven may work I dunno what it'll do. You might wanna put them in front of a fan for 24hrs first so the outsides get dry before putting them in the toaster oven to finish them up that way their outsides don't toast and get all weird. But I'm just guessing here.

I haven't done any agar work yet, but I ordered a few of the telephone brand agar pouches that arrived this afternoon. Im thinking I'll need light malt extract as well?
These mushies are Golden Teacher, and yea I'm ok with trading if all goes well with the printing lol.
I pretty much got into this with knowing nothing. I'm very experienced with cannabis growing and started wanting to expand my abilities.
I want to get into the agar asap. I feel that will allow me to preserve/Clone some of these and won't have to start over from scratch if everything fails or gets contaminated. Money is pretty tight due to having to take care of an aging family member. So having to start over would be catastrophic

It's been years since I've done anything but I'm getting back into it again. I use light malt extract and telephone brand agar. I poured a bunch of plates recently and am just watching them now for 10 days to see if any contam shows up so I can test my sterile process. I think that's a solid starting point so you can see if you are doing things well.

I never weighed them while they were fresh/wet, but after all day drying (crispy cracker dry) I ended up with 13.7g That's not including the 5 biggest caps that are being used for prints.

Don't dry with tinfoil next time, dry with oven proof paper or cardboard
