yep, I pitch all my moldy//spent cakes in my small patch, and have a few cubes pop up in the fall, but id think itd depend on ur climate regioin etc for results

This is my first time doing this and the cakes just started to fuzz up a little. Can I stop this and save them or it better to just use them outside?

I dont have any pictures but the cake was fully colonized but when I birth "it" a small piece of the white mycelium was stuck on the jar.so about half inch hole in the center. That is where the fuzzy gray stuff is. I say its cobweb but im no expert.

if its cobweb itll spread rapibly over night and instead of being white it should have more of a greyish tint its kinda obvious when u see it cause it colonized the hole cake very fast!

Just a question for curiosity, why is it okay to eat from contaminated cakes when they're spawned outside but not inside? Is it because the natural ecosystem doesn't favor contaminates as much as housing does?

You can eat shrooms from a contamed sub as long as its not bacteria or the shrooms are not modly and black/green. We just say toss the cake so you avoid contaminating the rest of your future grows...

For me, it depends on how contaminated. You don't want the contams to spread in the fruiting chamber or spread to bulk - which are designed to be fungi-friendly environments. You could fruit it in its own chamber (cakes do well in 2-liter plastic bottles).
The contaminants are usually fast growing small (microscopic)fruit-body producers that spore a lot and fast. These types are not well suited for growing underground like slower growing, larger fruit-body producing mushrooms. They can compete, but one usually has an advantage in a specific environment.
Outside, there are a lot more competitors and by the time they push up out of the soil, they are pretty clean. You could also bury it in a flower pot.
Buried usually means that the contaminant with the microscopic fruit bodies cannot release their spores.
