First time in growing chamber - is all well?

Hi - thanks for all the advice so far. Ended up chucking 3 out of 8 PF cakes...though after reading what everyone had to say and going on line and looking at dozens of pix of contams, am pretty convinced my cakes were suffering from sitting in pissy water and perhaps rotting a bit...as the pix will (I hope) show, the brown stains at the bottom of the cakes have not made their way up. So...as a noob to all this, just want to give a shout out to all and get responses re: the appearance of my first pinheads - I'm a proud grampaw in some ways, but am (as usual) neurotic given the scrawny appearance of these mushrooms...also, as the "what's up with that" heading to one of the pix suggests, am wondering whether that tumescent blob is a bad sign...apologies if one of the pix belongs in the "contam" forum, but really this is just an overall question - does all look well?
Thanks to everyone for their experience and generosity with advice! best, jash

thought I just responded to the question but it didn't seem to get online...in case my response didn't show up...what's on top is plain vermiculite...scraped off what was loose, and left what wasn't on top...mistake on my part?

Hey - didn't dunk, as I was concerned given the fact that the bottoms of 3 of my 8 jars were a bit slimy from what i suspect was my overwatering them in the first place...so i've just placed them on perlite - which i soaked, then drained in a colander - and I plan to mist them every 5 days or so (perlite, not cakes). Plus, put my cakes on jar lids as opposed to right on perlite.
Just want to get a sense from the more experienced among you if this is a good start or not...3 of 5 cakes pinning already...and no sign of contam or brown slime from the bottom of the cakes... crossing my fingers...and looking forward to hysterical laughter and illumination in a couple of weeks...
bestest, jash
