Please help, it's turning brown!

I believe the blue is just bruising, but why is it turning brown!?
I've searched around the forum and couldn't get a clear answer.

The green in focus in the picture is bruising. The brown is also discolored mycelium, cake looks kind of dry could be related to that.

I'd give it a good 24 hour dunk completely submerged. It'll help you get pins faster too and larger mushrooms when they do start growing.

Ive read in alot of places you should roll it in vermiculite after dunking too then lightly mist it over the next two hours to wet the vermiculite on the outside of the cakes.

Yeah you should usually roll in dry verm after the first dunk right after birthing. I've been told by TCs though that if it has been birthed for a while already it's better to just dunk so you don't trap contaminants, which have inevitably landed on it by now, under the verm layer where they could more easily grow. It's up to you really.

Thanks Kizzle, everything smells fine and yesterday night pins appeared!
I'll definitely dunk and rolling for the next flush.

Do not roll in vermciulte if it wasn't just birthed.
Odd's are you will trap a contaminate between it and
the substrate, and end up having problems.

Stop finger fucking it. And 24 hour dunk will greatly help.
