Something Fell On My Cakes , And Sliced A Bit Off.

So , I was being extremely uncareful this morning. And was fanning my fc , currently it only contains three Penis Envy cakes , they have just entered pinning , one is in fruiting I believe if I have my terms correct. As I was fanning with the fc lid , a cord dangling from my closet shelf got caught in the lighting rack accidently , and I brought it down on top of my cake , shit , the fruiting cake. It slices off this tiny , tiny piece off the top. Didn't remove any pins , fruits , since most of those are coming off the bottom or middle sides anyways only one on top and it missed it. Now , the question is , what should I do. Or better yet , is there anything I should do or should I just deal with the ugly bruising that is probably already showing and just accept what happened and be more careful? I used the search button and the results were so clogged with shit like " USE THE SEARCH BUTTON " That I could not find the answer to my question.
I mean , is this even going to have much of an effect on my cake? Give me your wisdom so I don't have to ask this question the next time I do something foolish.
Btw , I'm new. This is my first grow. I've got a few other strains colonizing cakes in jars. I'm about to move onto using grain to spawn to some sort of bulk substrate because I don't like how little I'm going to get off cakes for the money and work I have to do. But thats not for a month and I'm going to continue reading every day until then.

A fully colonized cake is much more resilient than many people think. When I first started, I bough the narrow 1/2 pint ball jars. They were tapered, but a few seem to narrow just a little inside the jar at the mouth. Well, I eended up with a cake that would not come out short of breaking the jar. I ended up wedging two butter knives down the side of the jar in an attempt to try to use them as forceps. Eventually, the cake gave way and came flying out of the jar. The butter knives flew out of my hand with the cake and the cake slammed into the side of the sink breaking off a HUGE chunk. I was sure the cake would die.
I dunked it for 24 hours in Spring water then put it in a fruiting chamber. I did not roll it in Verm. It took about a week, but the Mycelium came back strong and fluffy and the whole cake fruited. Every square inch was covered un mushrooms. It was quite spectacular. Sorry for the long story, but the answer is do not worry, your cake will be fine.

Yeah , I know they are very resiliant , I just wanted to see something that'll give me confidence. :P But , I have three nice sized mushrooms formed and tons of pins , I hope that doesn't fuck with their growth , I doubt it will since they are on the bottom and this is just a corner of the top. Thank you sir. I hope to get a few grams out of the cake , I mean , the cake that is fruiting first , I didn't think it was going to do shit. It sat in my FC forever , 98 % RH between 69 - 71 degrees always , misted once or twice daily , and fanned every couple of hours. Sat there for 3 weeks and didn't do anything but get wrinkley and turn from white to gray , well I didn't even check on my FC for a day , opened it up , temp was 70 , rh was 97 , and the ugly cake had pins showing. So I hope it keeps on doing what its doing and gives me a few shrooms. I was worried about it , but that shows what I know. Hopefully this bump on the head won't be anything too much to recover from since I see quite a few threads on here where people have to beat and stab at their cakes to get them from the jars. I'm sure a piece of myc as big as two grains of rice being removed quickly will not affect it. Hope it doesn't stay bruised forever though.

Yeah no worries!! I had a light fall and slice a half dollar size slab off a cake once. I took the chunk that fell off and laid it on it's own piece of foil and it actually fruited two small mushies. The damaged cake still grew just as good as the rest. I freaked out just as you did but I had plenty of cakes so I figured it wasn't a big deal. Have fun!!
