Can anyone help? I have looked ar various posts but nothing seems to answer my "problem". Basically I have a PF-tek cake that is pinning quite well at the top, but I've noticed that the lower inch or so of the cake is a dullish blue/grey in colour. It's not ON the mycelium, it seems to be the colour OF the mycelium. Is it bruising?? Is it anything to worry about? There's no smell or otherwise anything to indicate infection ie it looks just like the white mycelium above it. Thanks in advance and apologies if this question has been answered somewhere before.

agreed. did you have to slam your jars down pretty hard to get the cake out? If so you might have gotten the regular wide mouth jars that are not taperd. Mine did the same thing till I looked up a how to somewhere on pf tek that explained the usefulness of the taperd jars for this exact reason. If I find it ill post the link for you

Word. Could be from handling the cake(s).
Or it starting to dry out. Could probably
help more if you had pics.

Thanks for the replies. I thought it prolly IS bruising and I did have some trouble getting it out. Looking to get some tapered glasses or something for future adventures, but this was the first run, so mistakes will be made. Also birthed it too early as it took ages to fruit, so presumably internal colonization of the cake hadn't happened. Maybe it's also a bit dry...
