Yes, it's contaminated.  Anything other than nice white mycelium (and sometimes a yellowish tinted metabolite seepage) is evidence of contamination.

I'd pitch it and start over just to be safe.

today the blue and green stuff didn't spread anymore. the mushrooms are still growing and they all look still fine except for the same one which has turned black.. i will keep my box and observe it. when they're grown i will post a picture, hoping to get some advice if they're good to eat. thanks.

NEVER eat mushrooms that are in contamed substrate. Even though you cannot see them, they are most likely covered in bacteria/mold spores. Better safe than sorry. Pitch em and start again.

Not enough to be a health hazard. It's common practice to eat/sell mushrooms grown on contaminated substrate. That's assuming the mushroom itself has no visible mold on it.

Yesterday i harvested all the healthy mushrooms, they were small but i got around 30g fresh, i ate them and had a really nice trip and i didnt feel any stomach pain:-) i threw the contaminated box in the garbage. I guess you really can eat mushrooms that dont have any mold on them even if they grew in a contaminated box:-)
