Yeah, I was thinking either trich or penicillin.  I don't think it's bruising.

Hmmm hard to tell but you can perform a test.

Grab a qtip, soak it with h2o2 and rub it at those spots. If the qtip has any color it's contaminated.

Looks like bruising from what I can make out.

Thanks for the tip but apparently that method isn't effective.

Any other opinions?  There hasn't been any noticeable change since the photos were taken.

Its hard to tell with the quality picture. At first glance I would say bruising but after a closer look it kinda looks like trich run in I've had before.

  It's blue.  Not growing as far as I can tell.  When sprayed with water it turns a darker blue color.

I understand what RR is saying but that's why I soak the qtip. Actually, you don't even need to rub it. When in contact with a soaked qtip, any contamination sporulation is instantly transferred to the qtip liquid. Even if oxidized psylocybin (which is what actually bruising is) is attached to the qtip, you can probably tell what color is. At least it makes it easier to tell. I mean, we know blue is good. So any other color is not good.

Although you're testing with a fruit body cut, you really got a point on that one. My bad. I speak from my own experience. I've rubbed a soaked qtip on bruised mycelium without any color transference. But anyway, I'll repeat the test when I have such opportunity.

Thanks for the responses everyone. 

With the change in the season there has been a drop in humidity.  I finally got a decent hygrometer and it turns out the rH was only around 60%.  After adding more moist perlite I was able to get he humidity where it needed to be. 

FWIW, I tried the Q-tip thing and there was no change in color. I was using an electric sprayer to moisten the blocks.  It may have sprayed too large of water drops which bruised the cake. I've since switched to a manual spray bottle that I got from Fungi Perfecti.

Yeah that could be a problem assuming it's accurate. If the bruising isn't going away you might want to feel the weight of the substrate to make sure it didn't completely dry out during that time.

Thanks for trying. That means it's just bruising then.

I'm glad it was useful in some sort of way.
