Hey Jack! Could you pls clarify:

  1. Is this your very first time growing mushrooms?
  2. Are there 2 different cakes in the photos?
  3. Is this the very first flush?
  4. How many days has it been since spawning to bulk and introducing fruiting conditions?

What would I do in your case? I’d rehydrate the cake in water. You can do it right in the tub. Just pour in cold water, fully submerge the cake, and let it sit for about 2 hours. Then remove the water, provide fruiting conditions as before and wait.

More details and examples here: Mushroom cake rehydration

A crack is not a problem for fruiting ;-)

its been 14 days since spawn and its my first flush three different cakes or tubs for the shrooms i would say its my first time . thanks sir and for the rehydration do i have to submerge the whole cake or spraying plenty of water on top of the cakes will be enough?

I’d fully submerge the cake in (freezing cold!) water and let it soak. You can soak one or two cakes and spray another one to compare the difference.
