Dunking Cakes Days after Birthing

Ok I birthed some BRF cakes a few days ago but did not dunk and roll(I was busy). They did start to grow some fluffy white mycelium but not pins yet. My question is would it hurt it any if I went ahead and dunked and rolled them now, or at least add the vermiculite layer ?
Thanks in advanced, DP

Soak overnight first, then roll. RR

Thanks, All I needed to know They were starting to look a little thirsty and misting with a(fine)spray bottle wasn't working so well. Ive dunked before but always the day I birthed not several days later.

So I just got home and took a look at the cakes I am soaking and Im seeing spots of what looks like blue. I guess I roughed em up a little bit while rinsing them off. Would contam's pop out during this process ?

Bruising is commen from handling and from directly misting cakes. It shouldnt be too much of a problem. You will find out soon enough.
I have found atleast with my cakes is that if they bruise from drying out, after dunking they still look a little bit bruised but after a few days the bruising goes away.
Slight bruising shouldnt allow contamination to flourish. the only way i see contamination happening if the myc was really heavily damaged and weakened, contamination was already present and u havnt see it yet or the cake had produced many flushes and was weak from age.
I think you will be fine, dunking a few days after birthing shouldnt be a problem, the myc will thank you for the water.

Okay so I woke up this morning and noticed that what I was seeing last night was indeed blue bruising It was really clear when I finished rinsing it off. So I noticed it had a little bit different smell than the earthy mycelium (good)smell is this common ? It's almost a sweet smell.
