First grow.. Casing, initiating Q's (w/ pics)

First Grow.
Included are pics of my casings (BRF, PF tek jars, crumbled, cased into 60/40, and into PMP @ 99%)

 Q1) Being a newb, I birthed casing directly into FC, under light at ~10-15 degrees F cooler, 4 days ago. In my reading, I had read that birthing directly into chamber was OK, when birthed into high humidity environment i.e. PMP.
1) Casings look healthy, but my question is how should I initiate pinning and avoid overlay simultaneously? --> Lower rH?
2) Do these casings look good for their age, or not so much? Am I on the fast track to overlay?
p.s. I have tried my best to maintain casing moisture content, but work keeps me away for 48 hrs at a time... they seem good though.

I'm a noob too but I have read that you should patch the spots where the myc breaks through first with casing and then mist

Oh yeah.
Patched after 2 days. this growth is post-patch, and I am maintaining moisture through misting when @ home.

Either your white balance is off, or those trays are seriously infected with a green mold such as trichoderma. RR

Don't obsess over patching and a perfect pinset on your first grow. Presuming this was a multispore innoc, you're not going to get a uniform pinset no matter what you do.
Hell, I don't even use a casing layer because I Don't Fucking Care about getting a perfect pinset.
99% of what people think is overlay is NOT overlay. Don't worry about overlay.
Mist until you see pins, then let em grow.
Respeck!

Mist till you see primordia then stop since this can damage "setting pins".I would patch the big spots but other than that i would just let it go and make sure you have lots of fae and make sure your humidity is up in the high 90's.

My (very) bad! Yes, I meant to say primordia. Little white dots.
In my mixed up mind I refer to these as "pins" because they are about the size of a small pinhead. Once they take on any color I start thinking of them as fruits. I guess I'm just overly eager to get to the picking!!

So.
Here's some updated pics... -60 hrs growth-


Due to the outstanding quality of these pics, I am really just posting them to give y'all an idea of my progress.
But back to my original questions...
--> Since I have already inadvertently exposed cased myc to several "fruit initiators" should I:
A) Allow them to fruit naturally, at their own pace.... Or,
B) Somehow trigger them to fruit, thusly avoiding possible contam, theoretical overlay (which I guess I shouldn't really be worried about), or apocalypse, or whatever... Or,
C) Just quit worrying. <----- toughest option.
I am mostly just worried that in my direct birthing into FC, with mixed signals to myc, I messed up somehow.
Your Help is appreciated.
