Promote pinning in the middle of a case

Could anyone give me some advice on how to promote pinning in the middle of a case? all my pins seem to be on the edge of the case, and I'm wondering how I can get my cases to look like those masterpieces posted here.
Thanks
(Case is rye spawned to manure, then layered with coir and verm)

If they are growing on the edges only that usually means you casing is drying out, wait for it to flush, harvest, then dunk casing and put it in the fruiting chamber.

Often they only pin on the sides due to excessive misting. Bear in mind, spraying primordia with a mister is a major cause of aborts. The edges are protected from the mister so they pin there. As said above, drying out will also result in pins only on the edges, as will improper casing layer PH.
You can get a microclimate boost by laying a sheet of wax paper over the top of the tray. Leave it loose so air can circulate under it. This will raise the humidity right at the surface of the casing layer. Be sure to change it out for a fresh sheet of wax paper every second day. Dunk the entire tray between flushes by letting it fill up in the sink and let the water overflow gently and go down the drain for a few hours. You can set a jar full of water on top to keep it submerged. RR

Thanks for the tips, The only problem I have with dunking is I seem to get an access of water after the dunk, when the case is drained it still contains a lot of water and after the case sits down for a few hours - days it seems as this water then drains to the bottom and the case is practically sitting in a puddle of water, I tip the case to drain it but it almost seems as it's oversaturated. Is this normal?
Are small skinny shrroms usually a product of water content or casing mix?
