Newbie here and I'm hoping that someone can tell me by looking at these pics if these are contaminated? I swabbed the dis-colored base with a Q-Tip and nothing came off. Also as you may see in the pics, only half of them have this blueish color at the base and the others are all white... Thanks for the help...

Looks like I waited to long as they opened up overnight and littered the bottom with black dust. I pulled them all off the cake and wondering if these are still good and what would be the best way to dry w/o spreading spores all over the place? Also would it be wise to move the rest of my experiment to another home?

The blue is bruising. Pick your fruits when the veils begin to tear so they don't puke spores all over your FC.
Additionally, the Q-Tip test is absolute bullshit. You'll learn how to spot the difference between contaminants and bruising once you have a few grows under your belt.

I would just go with a dehydrator or with a desiccant chamber. Why would you want to move you're project to another home? A lot of people keep they're whole grow inside they're own rooms and if they have the space sometimes dedicate a whole room to it, but a whole house seems unnecessary.

I am sorry but what I meant was now that these opened up, they dropped black stuff on the perlite in the area surrounding the cake. I am not sure if this is bad and if I should move my cakes to a new planetarium (home) or maybe replace the perlite to get rid of the black stuff? Also, can you tell me what the proper name for this "stuff" is ? Thank You

Spores. Mushrooms produce and reproduce via spores. P. Cubensis drops purple-black spores.

Wait till' they finish fruiting, then just wash out the perlite.
