Little problem

Hey guys.
Soo... I know this is supposed to be in the contam forums, but the last time I posted there, I got very few, and useless replies.. If you can't help, no problem, but any help is greatly appreciated.
So, lately, a lot of my mushrooms were growing quite slowly, and aborting quickly. And any mushrooms that did grow didn't make it far and opened their caps at about half an inch tall..
Now I just checked all my cakes, and as I suspected, I found my first contaminated cake. It was contaminated on a side I could not see until I picked it up.. (Green mold-like spot. Might have been like this for a few days before I noticed.. This cake has also went through two flushes and was pretty squishy after the dunk when I decided I'll try for a third flush.)
So my questions are: 1) could this contam be the reason for my poor fruiting for the past week? 2) are my other cakes in danger from this one contaminated one? (I have thrown out this cake and the few next to it as soon as I noticed the contam.. They are all somewhat close to each other, maybe an inch separate, but never touching) 3) is my fruiting chamber in danger? Do I have to toss everything and start fresh or was the one contaminated cake the only problem? 4) lastly, is my room in danger? I keep my room quite clean, but could this contam spread throughout the room from just one cake?
Thanks for any help, again sorry for not going straight to the contam forum, but as I mentioned they were no help last time.. And I really need some help and kinda fast before everything else gets ruined..

Alright, thanks. I have a SGFC, could I reuse the perlite? Can I just rinse the crap out of it with water and soap?
Also you think the contam could be the reason for my poor recent fruiting? Or am I just having a bad round?

Alright thanks a bunch!
I was getting a little upset because of my poor fruiting, I couldn't figure out wth was wrong.. I kept thinking poor conditions or not enough water..
And I'm glad I found the contam, it was hiding lol. And good thing it's not TOO big of a deal.. I was worried I would have to start from round one.
