thats about normal for pins, sit back and wait, make sure there is plenty of air exchange.

no, no you don't,
you said it WAS pinning? i thought,
either way,
after you harvest, then you lower humidity. for a rest period.

The higher the humidity, the larger and denser the fruit.
Mushroom fruits grow not only by capillary action pumping water into their fruit bodies from the mycelium below but also by directly absorbing water-vapor from the ambient through their cell membranes.
Hope this takes the ambiguity out of it... How a mushroom fruitbody grows in size (by Agar/6Tango)
This is why it's not only important to flush / dunk the colony below between fruits but also trying to keep the humidity as absolutely high as possible during the actual maturing of a pinset. Just remember, you can't ever sacrifice FAE for good relative humidity and condensation is an RH _KILLER_ get rid of it and don't encourage it.
