Hey, your mushroom cake looks healthy and just fine!
You might be a bit concerned about the different mycelium appearance (some areas look slightly grayish or more fluffy), but that’s completely normal. If you used a spore syringe for inoculation or non-isolated genetics, it’s totally expected to see a mix of mycelium types on one cake.
Good news you already have tiny white knots, which will turn into bigger primordia within the next 5–10 days. Most likely your first shrooms will appear here (see photo):
Hope to see your updates soon 🤞

I was busy with family things and forgot to get a good picture of my first flush before harvesting.
Cambodian Gold. 84g total dried weight
Did a cold shock bath to rehydrate the cake. It wasnt easy and the cake ended up cracking into 3-4 larger pieces. Looking forward to the next flush and will update along the way.

Awesome! And you've properly dried shrooms and sealed them for storage. Good job 👍
As for the cracked cake no worries! It will continue fruiting after rehydration. To ease your mind, check out a few examples of how mushrooms can fruit few flushes in a row even on a cracked cake here: APE Revert

Great! Yes, there are a LOT of tiny knots. The strongest of them will continue to grow on the next flushes. But some part may turn into aborts, which is completely normal.
Some of your shrooms in the bag are flying in the air, lol
