I'd agree that it's a bit on the wet side and starving for air. I'm curious about what you were planning to do with this tub though to put it in fruiting conditions since you are talking about removing the cake from the tub?
Most of us go into "fruiting conditions" when we make the tub now. That means it is getting light and fresh air exchange from day one. Your tub would have benefitted from that since it is already trying to pin and they need air.
So with where you are right now I'd suggest you just use that container for a unmodified fruiting tub. You need to put them into fruiting conditions now to help dry it up a bit and give those pins the air they need. Like beef said, the first step would be simply unlatching the lid. The next step would be flipping it over. If you still need more fresh air exchange after that, you can rotate the lid a bit but you likely won't need to.
Next time you spawn a tub, evening out the surface will help promote pinning and allow easier moisture coverage as well.
Welcome to the shroomery by the way.

I'd say just keep doing what you're doing. I don't think anything you do now will change the course of this grow, provided you keep the conditions acceptable.
You went spores to grain which is a recipe for contamination and I would bet that your spawn wasn't completely clean. That alone could explain poor performance from the tub.
What could also add to poor performance would be your setup and how you prepared the tub. There is a lot to work on, but I'd save that for next grow.
You're getting fruit from an AIO bag you shot up with spores though. I'd consider that a win alone.
Keep the conditions good, rehydrate after the flush, and work on making a proper fruiting setup with a more reasonable light and a better designed tub. Get your agar started or use PF tek if you want to continue to use spores.

Had no idea it was such a risk using the pre made bag..... I wonder if it would help to harvest and flip... The cake did not come out as a whole and is kind of brittle.... How do I go about setting up for the flush and even do it??
A pre made bag is only part of the issue. The main issue would be inoculating grain with spores.
With the light, I just meant that it seems extremely overkill for a monotub. Light as close to daylight (6500k) on a 12 to 14 hour timer is the recommended. Most of us just use simple white LED strips or cfls. That light just looked insane to me compared to everything else on here.
I wouldn't recommend flipping. Your surface still looks okay.
After you've harvested, you just need to rehydrate the substrate of lost water. Multiple ways to do it. I'd recommend either bottom watering or heavy misting.
Bottom watering is dumping some water between the liner and the substrate and letting it sit for a few hours before pouring off the excess.
Heavy misting would be misting until the water starts to pool, closing the tub up, and then coming back and doing it again the next day.
Those big mushrooms look normal. The fuzz around the base is mycelium and is common. The skinny one isn't "normal" but is safe to eat.
