My Shrooms are only coming out of the bottom.

I have some cakes on their second flush and my shrooms are only growing from the bottom of the cake. I picked it up and looked underneath and there where tons of pins on the area where the vermiculite is also there are blueish splotches on the bottom of the cakes but nowhere else. This blueish area is not spreading and that is where the mushrooms are mainly growing. Could this be contamination or is this normal? How can I make my fruits grow all over the cakes on my next batch?

as far as the blue, this is most likely bruising of the pins that are trying to form.
For making it pin all over, it could be many things. How is your humidity and is your cake hydrated well?

you're seeing your pins at the bottom because that's where the most moisture is.

I used the dunk tek for 24 hours before the first flush and the humidity in the chamber seems good because their is always condensation on the walls and top of the chamber. Do you think that doing the dunk and roll next time would help?

in my experience with cakes, you get more fruits off the bottom because of the verm/moisture. dunk and roll.
