  Hello and welcome! Yes, it's already fruiting! 6 days isn't too early, 'cause typically first pins appear within 3-15 days after providing fruiting conditions.However, all your pins are deformed. At first glance I thought it's just mutation. But some fruits with brown lesion, especially here (see the attached photo below) makes me think about Verticillium contamination. So I'm not 100% sure yet...Deformed pins with brown rotted looking lesion may be Dry Bubble (Verticillium) diseaseWhat to do? Let's stop misting and wait another 2-4 days, and then see what happens to them. Just send me updated photo and I'll check it out. Even if it's Verticillium, don't worry it's not harmful for you.More info for reference with photo examples here: Verticillium Dry Bubble disease Mushroom Mutations
