Well, I knew that when I saw the title of the thread. ;0)
I was hopeful, very hopeful, but expected this mix-up.

Well if they're not azures I do hope they're cubes.
Will update in a day or two when they get bigger.

If it is, I demand a print! 
I spent allot of time trying to figure out how to cultivate azures indoors.

You should have spent that time researching cyanofriscosas, instead

So here's the update a couple days later. Cliff notes version: of the 5 cakes noc'd up with the "azurescens" syringe, 3 had fully colonized, 1 pinning, look like cubes - going to fruit them as cubes. The other 2 had very different myc and stalled out. These have been crumbled on wood chips and are now starting to colonize the wood chips. I am hopeful this myc is actually azurescens myc, as it is at least something that likes wood!
Pics and more info below. Feedback appreciated.
1) The cake was pinning definitely looked like cubes and started to blue as the pins grew. I picked the 2 big pins and have the cake dunking now, along with the other 2 cakes that are likely cube myc.
Here is the pic before I picked the shrooms and dunked the cake.

2) The other 2 cakes had myc that was *much* whiter, denser and slower growing in the BRF cakes. I am confident this myc is not cube myc. Unfortunately I don't have pics of these cakes. It would make sense that a wood-loving myc would find the BRF cake unsuitable for fast growth and kind of slow down after 3+ weeks.
So what I did was take the colonized parts of these cakes and crumbled them in my pasteurized/soaked wood chips. I observed no blueing of the myc during this process or afterwards. I didn't expect it to actually work... but take a look! You can see the myc is definitely moving onto the wood chips.


So here's my theory: vendor (usually reliable sponsor, not a cheap unknown website) had some cube prints mixed in with his azure prints, and my syringe had both cube and azure spores. The myc now colonizing wood chips is likely azurescens.
Another possibility: it's some other random wood loving species, but I think it would be most likely that it is azure since that is presumably what I was sold, so azure spores would be in the highest quantity and most likely to germinate/grow.
What do you guys think?

I think you have cube myc colonizing woodchips

Hmm, I didn't know that was possible. Will cubes grow on wood chips?

Damn! Well, shit. It still doesn't explain the lack of colonization on the cakes or the denser myc, but I feel like I'm grasping at straws at this point. 
Oh well, I think I will let this myc grow out and see what happens, as well as start some azurescens from a different vendor.
Thanks for all your help.
