I don't know, it looks fine to me. You could keep fanning it, or leave the lid off for a bit.

I have been using a piece of roll up paper towel to suck up any big droplets. That's what RR recommends, so I spoze it's good.

Yeah it looks like it's getting pretty close. I typically leave mine for a few more days after it's 100% just to make sure it's fully colonized.

If there is very much temp. differential between the tub and the room condensation is going to happen.If there is a lid on your project,offset it a little bit to allow more FAE.Raising the temp by a degree or two will allow a bit of transpiration to occur.These things will lower humidity by a small amount.

Yeah, well It's in the room with my fruiting tubs so I have to keep it around 75. you think it will hurt it if i leave it like that... those rhizos look good, starting to swell a bit though.
