1st Grow; Proud Papa (w/ pics and questions)

Hey everyone,
This is my first grow. PF Tek, BRF...Have to say I really appreciate the beauty of mushrooms even more now that I've grown some of my own...absolutely beautiful! =) Everyday I gaze at them with pure contentment, haha.
These 2 cakes are at 13 days in the FC. I have 4 other cakes and 2 small casings about a week behind. Tempature fluctuates between 63-70F. They get 9-12 hours of light a day...I fan and mist the cakes 4-5 times a day...
For some reason the one on the left is just now pinning and fruiting. I wonder if it's because the vermiculite I rolled it with was really fine, almost dust. Maybe it suffocated it?? Also, the one on the right have some strange growth, looks like a pin grew up through another pin and made it explode...looks like tits being fucked too, haha, maybe it's just me? Will these growth be edible?
The cake with lots of pins also still has some primordia forming on the top of the cake. Should I still lightly mist this cake? I stopped misting to wait for the pinset...but now I'm wondering if I should start misting again, even if I have some primordia forming? The cake looks slightly thristy to me...of course it's hard on me to hold back from misting, haha, guess I'm trying to love too much...




Also, there is one blueish/black mark on one of the stems. I'm hoping it's just bruising, any opinions? (picture below, the middle mushie)

Thanks for everything!

the strange growth is edible.
you can mist primordia but shouldn't. i do though, but i only give one indirect mist. just make sure to keep the air exchange up.
the bluish/black mark is most likely bruising.
btw, nice cakes...i wish my first cakes came out as good as yours.

Congrats on your 1st grow. Don't sweat the lagging cake. Did you not use that verm on both cakes? That strange growth is just some sort of mutant and is totally safe. I say keep misting. A lot of folks don't while a flush is pinning to avoid causing aborts but if a cake or casing needs water then it needs water. You only have to be careful to avoid standing water and stagnant air. As long as you have sufficient FAE then mist away from beginning til end.

It was the same verm, but I didn't mix it up after pouring it out of the bag...kind of like all the crushed and "dusty" flakes at the bottom of a box of cereal...
Not too worried about the slow cake because it has a couple pins and looks like it will be knotting up soon...
Thanks for the replies everyone, I definitely owe the Shroomery...been coming here and reading like crazy everyday for the last 4 months - a great resource! I'll post some more pics once my babies growup =)...yum yum
