This is my first time growing. I have 8 cakes in a fruiting chamber and two of them have developed some greenish/blueish discoloration. I'm pretty sure its a contam, but I'm hoping it's just bruising because I have handled some of the cakes a bit when some perlite got onto them. Here are some pictures:



The first two pictures are the same cake.

Does it smell like fresh mushrooms or mold?

I'm not really sure what the mold would smell like. I smelled the one with the larger discolored area and it smelled kind of sour at the spot where it's green

I cannot really tell. The bottom 2 look OK. The top one might be mold. If it gets larger and greener by tomorrow, then it is probably mold, but right now I cannot tell.
Usually people can smell mold before they see it. that is how I would decide. If you have some unbirthed cakes, smell them, and then smell that colored spot. If it is mold it should be a very potent smell, like moldy bread or musty basement.

I don't think mold smells sour. I think it smells like chemical disinfectant.
Its hard to see from the pic, but if that top one gets any greener, plant it outside or in a flower pot.
If you don't want the possibility of the mold spreading to other cakes, you can cut a 2 litter bottle and use that as a temporary (or permanent) terrarium to isolate the questionable cakes.
