Its primordia for sure. Some say wait for 10 or so pins before the 24 hour dunk, but you be the judge. Different strains of Shitake fruit faster than others. Even if you have less mushrooms on the first flush, that just means all the more for the second & third.

Look carefully on those "bubbles" as more of them are likely primordia. Yours will go brown with age also in time. Maybe you have a very fast fruiting strain , and due to a bit of neglect tech and being slower mine got browner before the soak.

Best of luck
