weird - Contaminated with MUSHROOMS ?!

I came upon these photos of a grow showing a fruiting cake and don't know what to make of it. Nothing pinned before this happened. The jar apparently colonized very rapidly as well, it practically slung thick webs of mycelium around the jar and was consolidated within 10 days from inoc. My first thought for this incident would be that someone got a syringe labeled wrong and this was an edible like oyster... but the gilled structures (not sure if those are caps or teeth like a shelf fungi) are very canesent or pubesent if that's not apparent.
If I were this grower I would assume these aren't cubensis mutants. Would you? Would you keep this cake in with the rest?
Look at the last photo, there is what I think is a cube pin in the top left but the contam fruiting in the bottom right- so couldn't be purely the wrong syringe I would think.
Weird.

they are definitely not psilocybe cubensis, reminds me more of schizophyllum commune but that is really just a guess

The grow notes say it was done using standard sterile procedures and fruited indoors by the way.

Awesome, looking at other pictures Rafiikii is probably right... I've read that it could actually infect humans with a weak immune system and one grew inside somebody 's nose.

Franquixote said: I'm actually really frigging worried right now- I came in contact with this, in fact purposely smelling them. And my sinuses are horrible, I've already had sinus surgery in the past. Some of these things can cause brain lesions and death and the best case scenario is years worth of medication, lifelong possibility of recurrence, and radical removal of tissue...
Although European and US guidebooks list it as inedible, this is apparently due to differing standards of taste rather than known toxicity, being regarded with little culinary interest due to its tough texture. S. commune is, in fact, edible and widely consumed in Mexico and elsewhere in the tropics. The authors explain the preference for tough, rubbery mushrooms in the tropics as a consequence of the fact that tender, fleshy mushrooms quickly rot in the hot humid conditions there, making their marketing problematic.
It is common in rotting wood, but can also cause disease in humans. This mushroom is inedible
Well done Wikipedia lol

I read that too but eating them and breathing spores are different

OK so my local mycologists say it's literally everywhere, any dead log has a 99% chance of showing evidence of it. The only cases (they told me there have been 13) are people with severely compromised immune systems that have probably also had prolonged contact. Man, the few cases where people HAVE been infected are right out of science fiction- full fruiting bodies growing out of their sinuses and in one case an abscess on the roof of the mouth had a full mushroom cap growing through it. AHhhHHh!

I saw photos of those cases before, Franquixote. Really yucky stuff. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.
