Hello everyone! Could someone look at these pics and tell me if it is contaminated or not? It looks rough, but maybe it's just the 'blueing' that happens? Before you judge know this:

1 - It is about 30 degrees in my room. So these are warm, I know, but I can't do anything about that.
2- I *have* been indirectly spraying the cakes, but trying to just spray the walls of my FC and the perlite
3 - this contam was *not* there *at all* 24 hours ago. This is the main reason I think it might be blueing?
4- I just rubbed it with a q tip and blue came off onto the q tip - this means contam right?
5- in the photos it looks a lot greener than it does face to face - it looks more blueish in real life...

6 - the lid on my fc has been shut tight for about 18 out of the 24 hours a day b/c I am not around. I fan it about 4 times a day. Maybe that's what went wrong?

If it is contam, what should I do? There are four other cakes not affected. Any advice? Thanks!

Okay, looking at it a little more closely, the biggest mushroom in my FC (the one on the far left in the second pic) has popped, like the veil has come down from the gills. Does anyone thing the blue might be spores? Probably just wishful thinking right? The cake smells pretty strongly like pure mushroom, and again, I have been checking three times a day and saw nothing yesterday night, but didn't take a solid look this morning. Thoughts?

I don't think that that is bluing. Never seen anything like it before. I would pick the shroom off that cake that aren't too close to the contam, keep those and get rid of the rest. Why risk it for a gram or two more of shrooms. Good luck

Sorry to say, that is the mean green, aka Trich. You could still save the shrooms, but that cake is a goner. Hope you got rid of it looks like things were going so well. By the time you see trich it is already inside the substrate.

Hello all! Yes you all are right, it was trych contam. Bad too! But believe it or not, I immediately pulled the other four cakes out and isolated them each into their own yogourt container/FC and they're all right and back to producing. Amazing! It is still hot as anything here so my breath isn't being held at all, but hey this is more for the fun of it than anything. Thanks all soo much for your insight and help!

My Fc has been getting to about 95F regularly during the day for the past week or two for a couple hours mid day and they are producing quite well. EQs and alacabenzi. The alacabenzi are actually producing the biggest fruits I've seen from them out of 4 growz. Good luck man, grow em up. munch em down.
