YAY my first harvest!! pics and questions.

ok ive harvested my first flush. from one casing (about 10inx10in) i pulled 200g wet. in the process i managed to accidentally pull about 3 or 4 pins, but i think next time around, i wont get so many on accident. i had about 4 mushies that were 10g wet, which is the biggest ive gotten so far.
after harvest, i patched the holes i made from pulling em out, misted heavily, let the caps air dry, and closed the fc again.
 heres a pic of my homemade drying apparatus... its 3 computer fans hooked up to an old AT powersupply. the good thing about AT power supplies is they have a regular switch on them, so you dont have to short any pins to turn them on or off....
ok now for another question. im full of em! some of my caps had like a dent or gouge in them. the gouge looked a little slimy. any idea what causes that? heres 2 pics of what im talking about...

 you can see on the first pic its like a dent. on the second pic, on the left side of that cap is like a little groove or something... also on teh second pic the cap has a swirl of a dark color. is that normal? if not, what is its cause?
btw THANK YOU to everyone who helped me and taught me and mentored me, especially hyphae!

No clue about slimy indentation, but the swirl of dark color is composed of spores from the mushrooms around (above) it.
And congrats man!

that shrooms is the tallest one, so the spores coulnt have gotten up there. plus most of the veils just broke, and i understand that thespores show up a little later that that.

spores are so small and light even micro currents of air swirl them around. look at some peopels, pictures that let the caps fully mature. they are covered in spores but all the same hight. looks like it might be spores. or else its just some color mutation. either way nothign to worry about.

coulda happened from many different things... often times mushrooms take on mutations for no real reason... the slimyness is likely because your rH is maintaining a little too high... remember casings like to have an rH around 90% as opposed to PF tek which thrives in the higher rH range.
Happy Trails and GL to ya

lemme sum it up real quick... first grow btw
ordered spores from spore 101. the day they were to arrive, i prepared 2 brf jars. i got the spores and innco them to the brf, and placed in my incubator. the incubator is a basically a styrofoam cooler with a heat bomb in it, and a thermometer. I got them going at 82-84.
i read about using wbs, and whaddayaknow i actually feed birds so i have like bags and bags of that stuff. i sterilized and innoc 2 jars of that and put em in incubator.
i also made 2 lc, one using a pint jar, and another using baby bottle. for some reason i put cooking oil in the baby bottle lc. placed em both in the incubator also. after about 5 days i had growth in the baby bottle lc, but not in the pint jar lc.
i used the lc to innoc 2 more wbs jars. so by now i have 4 wbs, 2 brf, and 1 good lc. they were ready to go after around 2 - 3 weeks of incubating (the wbs i innoc with lc were ready in about a week!)
i got a hold of rhino poo (dont ask), leached and pasteurized. i made 2 casings with that. i put down a thin layer of verm, poo, colonized wbs, and a casing layer. i covered with foil and put the two casings in my TiT incubator at 82-85f. i had some poo left over so i threw it in 3 jars with some extra colonized wbs.
3 days later, i checkd my casings. one had myc on top so i patched and sent to fc. the other i birthed to fc after 5 days instead of 3, and it made a HUGE difference. btw my fc is a big ol container with a cup of water with an airstone in it to get a bit of fae and to raise the rh.
by now my brf cakes and my poo cakes were ready. 2 of the poo cakes had awesome rhizo growth. the 3rd.... well crap man it smelled BAD. i dunno what happened, but i had to trash it before i threw up. anyways, the 4 good cakes are in a terrarium birthing. one has fruit, the other 3 have knotting.
i fanned and misted teh casings about 3 - 4 times a day. once the pins started, i stopped misting. i misunderstood a step somewhere. anyways within a matter of days the pins grew like crazy. they were still too small though, and some veils were tearing. i asked around, and discovered i shoulda been misting. i started misting again, and BAM they got MUCH bigger. after misting i let air dry so that the caps wouldnt rot, or the pins wouldnt abort.
from the moment i saw pins to the day of harvest was about 4 - 5 days.
after harvest i patched, misted heavily and fanned. now theyre sitting there working on the next flush.
also, somewhere in there i made another casing using 50/50 (verm, peat, and crushed coral for calcium carbonate to balance ph) with the wbs i innocd with the lc. i put the last of my rhino poo in there, but without a bottom layer. i didnt case either. i put it in the incubator. after 4 days, it was thoroughly run, so i cased. i put that in my fc with the other 2 casings, and its doing pretty good. no pins yet though. i wanna see how it turns out compared to my other casings.
so now i got me some zebra poo (again... dont ask) and since i dont have room in my fc for any more casings, i dunno if i should go ahead and make poo cakes with it (i got a jar of wbs thats ready to go) or if i should wait till my fc has some space....
heres the timeline: it was about 2 - 3 weeks of colonizing, 5 days for casing to colonize, 5 days for pins, and about 4 days till harvest.

i dont work at the zoo, but my wife does. i threaten not to give her lunch money if she doesnt bring me back grain fed 4 legged poo (not that the poo is grain fed and has 4 legs, but rather the butt it came from was attached to a creture that is in fact grain fed and 4 legged.) for my projects.
