Appears to be bacterial. Any bad smell? What flush is that cake on?

Regardless there is some good hyphal knots on it you will still get fruits.

Judging by the yellowing from metabolites and lack of any apparent molds, it's almost certainly bacterial.
The good thing is, you don't really need to know what a particular contam is.  All contams are avoided the same way- good sterile procedure, proper pasteurizing.
There is a Contam forum just for posts like this where maybe someone can tell you more specifically what that looks like :shrug:

That's pod enough for me should I toss it ? Will it spread to nearby cakes?

Bacteria is a contact contam, so as long as you wash up after handling it they should be fine.

Try to grow it out but keep an eye on it for any other signs of contams.

Fruit as normal but do not contact the cake with your hands or tools. If you do be sure to sanitize.
It will still fruit.

Are the brown/yellow areas powdery looking? What is the temp and humidity and the substrate? I can't really tell from your picture, but it has a superficial resemblance to Brown Mold/Botrytis, which, according to Stamets, is not a severe problematic contaminant, unless left unchecked. High humidity/temperature/moisture promotes its growth. Again, not a positive ID
