I just shook the two bags up, the clumps of mycelium were gently broken up and dispersed through out the bag, is that good?

Yes I would just gently knead the bag and I'm having similar problems with my pre sterilized grow bags same vendor 2 out of 3 bags got bacterial contamination. No response yet about them. Also tomorrow I'm ordering an 8qt PC for like 33 from WalMart it should be big enough for agar and cpl pounds of rye or wbs. Just to get started with the PC side of this hobby and to hold me over till I can afford an "All American".

Sure.
I don't normally shake them before 100%, and by that point they're solid bricks. I've also only used bags a few times--I usually use quart jars.

I didn't think you shook jars/bags after 100% if you're spawning to bulk?

I "shake" (quotes cus I use bags its not really shaking) at 20-50%, and then at 100% I spawn directly to 50/50 coir/verm. With brf cakes you should allow a consolidation period of about a week.

how long will it take to recover? I broke the clumps up pretty good and spread the far apart, and I can already smell mushroom throught the filter patch.

Yes! Chill sit back smoke a bowl or two and wait for the next step in a few days to a week (imho). That's a good sign as long as it smells good and not "bad"

Yep. It's definitely a good sign. It also means that if you stick your nose up to the filter of your slimy bag you might be able to sniff some contamination. Don't toss it until you're sure, of course.

You gotta break it up to get it out of the jar. And also to mix it around with your bulk substrate. Were you gonna let the bags colonize and then plant the blocks whole in the tub? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, lol.
I think psylosymonreturns makes a "heart block" to bury when growing wood lovers, as well as colonized chips to sprinkle around in the dirt.

My bad. I was going to break them up to mix with the 50/50.

50/50 as in the casing? Why not a bulk sub like coir+verm?

the bulk sub is 50/50 bags i got from a vendor. this is what the site says,
"our 50/50 bags contain field leached and shredded horse manure, shredded golden wheat straw, coconut coir, vermiculite and a couple other secret ingredients to produce a high quality mushroom substrate with a very nice, airy texture"

I'd re-pasteurize anything "pre-prepped" and shipped to you. Ingredients sound good as long as those secret ones are just a hoax and not something disruptive 
I wasn't sure if you meant 50/50+ which is a casing, or damion5050's bucket tek which so often gets misspelled. Oh why couldn't he just called himself bob...

it was from a vendor on here, so I'm not going to re-pasteurize it, it should be fine. and the secret ingredients are probably gypsum or coffee.

Agreed  BUT a warning to you!! Myself and others have bought "pre sterilized" various things from the same vendor and it has gotten contamination. I'm not trying to speak ill of this vendor. I believe all of us has gotten replaced items and are currently awaiting results of these replacements.
Also it could have been a mistake on our parts however little a chance.
