looks like bacteria to me bud, probly not the end of the world though if it is you will know when you open it and smell it, if it smells wrong simply take it out of the jar and leave it on the counter for a couple hours, bacteria will dry up and then just dunk and proceed like normal GL!

I've had bacteria a couple times and it was never that dark, but yeah it probably is... So good news it will fruit most likely.

Better pics!
 Another spot of an off-white patch

So if it is just bacteria all I do is take it out of jar, sit on counter for a few hours, then dunk as normal?

first pic is mold and metabolites trying to fight the contam
second pic is bacteria
you're not gonna get a good flush with that cake
but what your gonna do is dunk for 24 hours, don't even bother rolling, then put in fruiting conditions and pray for the best...
be happy with whatever you get from that cake...

is it safe to put in the same FC as the good cakes?
After looking at the higher res pics it's easy for me to tell it doesn't look good.

With the better resolution pics, I'd say it is safe to say you have something funky going on.
I would follow deathcore's advice, at least try to get some fruits out of them.
If you do have another FC or could build one, I would, otherwise after all the cakes are out (healthy and contamed) thoroughly sanitize your FC

I'll probably just use the same FC and sterilize with wipes after the cakes are burnt out. The FC is at 79 degrees

I wouldn't birth any cake with bacteria or mold in it
would toss it, don't bother opening it
I tried sniffing bacteria jars once with lid off, wouldn't recommend that to anybody
turned out the whole mycellium network was infested, and it smelled quite moldy too but looked 100% colonized
yield was about half of normal , or less with most of those cakes never birthing bacteria cakes anymore
got very sick in the trips and afterwards, maybe improper drying/handling/refridgerator storage the shrooms didn't smell right either, smelled sour

Good advice but its not a big deal to try and get fruits from it as an experiment.

I tried birthing mine, the whole SGFC smelled moldy and sour after 1st flush
and most of them never fruited
the trip on those shrooms were very different, not enjoyable bad from the start each time
never had bad trips before
it is nice to know what you eat is fresh

Even if I had 40 great cakes and 2 contamed ones, i'd isolate both contamed cakes into soda bottles in a different room... Then again if I had 40 great cakes I wouldn't care about those 2 contamed ones and toss em out..

isolating contamed cakes sounds like a good idea if you are gonna try it but just colonizing a new jar would be a better idea, it's not much of a hassle
if there is bacteria there is a chance there might be contam inside the cake too
bacteria cakes often take longer to colonize I think
so you have to sniff the cakes really good I don't like sniffing bacteria cakes
I had to go back to agar when I encountered bacteria, it was in all my jars without knowing it (transparent mycellium) and not only small spots, it was everywhere on the cakes sometimes mildly sour, sometimes very sour/rotten smell they looked good, but didn't fruit much normal cakes are much more white, like bright/thick white

could i just make an isolated FC by cutting 2 liter bottle in two, poking holes in it, and putting some perlite on bottom? I don't have another light to use so i could just use the sun.
Is it too late now that I have it in my normal FC?
