Tumor like growth on brf cake

Its been growing for about 4 days now. Its been in the FC for 8 days total its gotten so big it lifting the cake up on one side.
The color is a bit tan with specks of green. I use a qtip to try to see if the green would come off it did not. I read trich comes off when wiped. Out of 6 cakes only 1 is doing this.
I thought when it was small it was a pin. Could you tell me what it is.

What are you attempting to cultivate?
Are you trying cubensis?
Give us a few more details.

Its p. cube spore order from a non sponser. Alacabenzi strain.
One other cake birth at the same time had pins just forming. Its in a shotgun FC with 3 in of perlite getting natural sunlight. (through the container walls.) RH-95-100 temps, 68-72

I'm definitely no expert but it looks like a fungus. I'm just not certain if it's a mutation of cubensis or something else. 
I'm sure an expert will chime-in momentarily. Hang in there.

I had mutants like that when my inoculation procedure was interrupted by wiping the needle with non alcohol cleaner (methylated spirit) between jars..
Just my2c and PS: i'm no expert either, just learning from my own mistakes.

I think I know what made these blobs when I shot-up the jars with the syringe sometimes bits of verm was stuck to the needle so when i flamed sterlizle the needle i left it on. Crispy verm.
Well i pulled another blob off a cake and all of these growths are just under the dry verm layer.
To answer your Q modsquad09. The only spray i use is 95% rubbing alchole sprayed into my glove box prior to using it. No spray would have come in contact with the cakes. I do were gloves and spray my gloved hands down with it. But it evorpates very quickly.
The one i pulled off today was rooted well to the cake. It was wet when i cut it open. I thinking its not a mushroom it eating up nutes for my shrooms so calling it a tumor is very correct.
The pic are of one cut open it blued after seconds its like a hollow mini carven inside. They smell very mushroomy. And are quite dense rubbery feeling. All the tumors together weight 5.4 grams.

They're almost like cubensis scleriota... or cubensis truffles! 
If you're in doubt, don't eat them. Still very cool to see though.
Thanks for sharing those photographs man.

The qtip test is invalid because bruising will often show on the qtip as well. That's mutant mushroom tissue, most frequently caused by not waiting a full week after full colonization before birthing the cakes.
Another cause is failure to expose the cakes to a day/night lighting schedule during the colonization phase. People who use 'incubators' that keep the jars in the dark have a higher incidence of these mutant forms. RR
