Hi! Hoping for some help from the community! Second time grower. First time was I did a bag kit and they came out great. Super potent and clean B+. Only one good flush though, so I tried Mini monotub this time with stuff I got from a reputable outlet so I know it was clean.
Inoculated with B+ in agar and grains were great. Colonized strong. Misting and fanning on 12/12 schedule with a 65k light. 5 days into fruiting and I have this blue moldy looking stuff but I've read it can be bruising from being too dry... gonna kill me or soldier on??? they are growing in a bathroom that is not used and I sanitized before I put them in there.
I really appreciate any advice! Thanks so much!
Day 5 good pins wierd mushroom tops that look like they're growing little "hats". No bad smell. Still smells mushroomy...

I say its bruising. My cakes are doing it too. Not sure about the too dry thing, if anything its been the opposite for me... fuzzy feet, stripes on stem... hell, I harvested a few that were mushy!
I dunno, maybe the surface is getting too much airflow and thus drying the surface up? Probably a B+ thing too since it seems almost every 'blue mold" post ive seen that looks like that is growing B+.

To me it looks like too wet. There are water drops all over the mycelium. Is it because you misted just before taking the photo? My cakes show bruising sometimes after a redunk at spots where shrooms were previously growing. I guess too much water can also damage the mycelium and let it bruise?

Thank you both so much for your input! I really appreciate it! Yes, I misted before the photo, but thinking about it, I think I had the lamp too close in the beginning, making it look dry and I may have over-misted to compensate. So, most likely it's bruising. Pins and mushies look great and there's no weird smell.
I do have these weird growths on top of some of the caps though... Any thoughts??
Also, this weird bumpy stuff on one of the stalks I harvested?

The weird growth sounds like Verticillium.
The first pic from your previous post has a lesion on the stalk which is a tall tale sign of Vert.
From the look of your substrate and your fruits, it looks bacterial.
I concluded this from the way your mycelium looks. Its looks too thick, like a thick spider web. And your mushies are mutated
Also your pin set looks really small.
All signs of bacteria. Maybe your substrate was too wet, or you over watered. ONLY water when the top looks dry. And lightly water it. Evaporation of H2o from the surface of your substrate is a pinning mech.
