Contaminated mushrooms?

Ok so I've been harvesting recently and one cake was a day behind the other and the very first day of fruiting it developed 2 weird bumped that people said were blobs,knots, what ever ya wanna call them..didn't think it was a big deal, but probably about 3 days in they started to turn green and kinda spread but I read that cakes are pretty resist once fully colonized.
 What it looked like when it first developed
 This is what it looks like now after harvesting mushrooms that still grew perfectly fine.
Anyway so I kept it going and it started and pin and take off and I noticed the mold was getting worse and spreading everyday but the mushrooms still looked perfectly fine. Also when I was harvesting the first one, While taking the fruiting chamber out I bumped the wall pretty good and the 2nd cake fell over on top of the mushrooms and everything which I obviously put back into position asap Im assuming may of caused some bad bruising? So the next day I came to harvest the 2nd cake and I noticed about most the mushrooms tops were dark and black. Also was far from the stem so maybe something there?
This is what they look like


This one you can see they look healthy no black tops and the mold or what ever is right on it.

help as soon as possible please don't wanna get all my friends sick from bad mushrooms lol

When in Doubt throw it out. I would throw that cake out the blue/greenish growing on top of it and making black mushrooms. Yea I wouldn't take that chance

I am no expert on cakes, but it looks like a mix of spores and bruising. I would wait for secondary attention by someone who has had cakes in the past.

You wont get sick from those. Did you dunk (submerge underwater for 12-24 hours) your cake in between first and second flush? That looks like bruising that occurs when your cakes are dehydrated.

Poor mushrooms
-------------------- One night I sat at an edge of a free way bridge and ate some shrooms i could feel the wind kissing my body it was like God had a purpose of me being here the car lights were sparkling and forming into different shapes. I felt that if i died everything would be fine because I felt God could take me in his arms and fly me to heaven . All my problems Vanished. I had never felt so much happiness.
That was the best day of my life
My avatar is me vaporizing some hash i was amazed with that cloud

The blue is definitely bruising. The pins with the black caps appear to have aborted. The black on those harvested mushrooms is spores.

I don't see mold in any of the pics. Be sure to harvest those aborts pins before dunking, they're perfectly edible and won't grow any larger. The other pins can be left on and may start growing again after the dunk.

The bluing on the cake is bruising not mold. The dark purple all over the caps is spores that will wipe off if they bug you but are harmless.
They are all perfectly fine. Personally i would dunk them once before the first flush and then mist them throughout all the flushes instead of multiple dunks, but to each their own.
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

It does if you keep handling the cake or the cakes is dehydrated.
