Everyone says contams can be found in the form of molds on the cake or on the casing layer. But can a mushroom itself be contaminated, even if the cakes don't appear to be contaminated?
For example, lets say there's a cake incubating and it looks kinda nasty inside and could be contaminated, but there is no colourful mold or smell. Then a few weeks later it fruits. Is it possible they could be contaminated and you wouldn't know?
I'll try to rephrase if anyone is confused.

-------------------- In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
Verticillium grows on fruits if you ignore it when it first shows up. However, mushrooms don't 'suck up' contaminants from the substrate. Every single mushroom growing in the wild grows in conjunction with contaminants, yet they're fine to eat.
There's no 'invisible' contaminants, where the fruit will look fine, but be bad, if that's what you're asking. RR
So...if a cake was visibly contaminated, and fruited anyways, the fruits would still be safe (as long as you don't injest the contaminates themselves)?
I found this picture in the FAQs, would these fruits be safe?

Those fruits look gnarly. I wouldn't eat them, even though it's just cobweb. If you don't treat them soon enough, bacterial contamination can set into the weakened fruits, and that can cause food poisoning.
Every wild mushroom grows in the presence of molds, so it doesn't matter if a cake had contamination. In fact, most molds are harmless to eat as well. Cheese comes to mind as a product most of us eat every day that is made with mold. However, healthy mushrooms are healthy, regardless of what it was sharing a substrate with. RR
Are those white puffs just mycelium or would you say that looks like it's contaminated? If so, would you say they look safe?

It looks like mushroom mycelium, but those fruits are horribly wet, and are going to ruin if you don't dry them off by increasing air exchange. How did they get so wet? Stop doing whatever is causing that. RR
