Contam or just bruised?

I'm harvesting from my first cake today, BRF B+ from a healthy white cake. I saw the cap had fully opened so I got my gloves and picked it off the cake, it being my first time, I was a little surprised how much I had to pull on it to separate it from the cake. It came off cleanly, thought. Everything looked fine, started snapping pics of my first harvested shroom when I noticed the white base seemed bluish in color. I split the white base apart and noticed it had the same colors only a bit deeper on the inside.
So here are my questions:
1. Is this a normal bruising color from handling the mushroom (holding it by the base while snapping pictures)?
2. In normal harvesting, how much (if any) of the white part at the base is kept?
PS wish I had pics, but I'm having technical difficulties at the moment.

You had a hard time "Pulling" which you probably grabbed tighter...it's all bruising bro. Take a blade and split the next one open

When harvesting barley pull on base whilst twisting to remove stem and cap

It is bruising, when handling a cube with to much pressure, it does cause bruising which is in fact blue.

Thanks for the good news everyone!
Only thing I'm wondering about now is whether or not I can keep the white base itself, is it ok (or worth it) to eat? If not, should it be removed to make way for more shrooms or will more shrooms grow out of it?

I've had perfectly potent mushroom not form any new bruising once completely dried.

Gypsygurl, your picture looks like some jacked shit. I'd watch that corner carefully. I had a corner look just like that in, well start to. Check it out:
 You see that left corner? Sure does look a little scary huh? Well yes it did turn into a nasty trich area before the first flush but I contained ALL of it and it never spread at all even after the second flush. Not sure if this actually works or i got lucky but someone told me to throw fine sea salt on it, than mist the hell out of it to make it crusty. It did stop the spreading, and I did get over 3 oz off first flush and all went well  No intentions on thread jacking, so any more questions post a new forum or send a quick  to a trusted cultivator.
