cakes pinning in jars with little yellow spots

I'm going to try and use these 3 cakes that have been consolidating a while, and one has a pin and some yellow spots, should I before crumbling them all up and adding to my coir/verm cut the yellow spots off(with a sterile knife of course) and the pin before mixing it with my pasterized coir/verm mix? The yellow spots have been there and not moved or grown... so I'm assuming it's alright?

Sounds like metabolites. You should post a pic, so somebody could give you better advice.

Likely metabolites. Possibly bacterial contam. Either way pull the pin of and keep it as it won't survive a crumble anyways. The rest should likely be fine.

I don't have Hydrogen peroxide and these thing need to be birthed... here's the pic
 I was gonna cut pinning mushroom off and yellow and crumble in bag and then mix with coir/verm mix.

You CAN do it. Although most would say no. I recently had contaminated spawn I made a mini bulk with its fruiting right now got ALOT of pins. Bacterial contams are not an end all.
OTH tho, if you do go ahead and spawn a contaminated cake. Do so with no expectations for it.
As Cronicr said above me that one looks really unhealthy. Even I would toss that one. And I'll spawn just about anything just to see what happens. Well maybe I'd crumble it, mix in some sub, and throw it in a cup. Keep it self contained and separate so it doesn't spread to your healthy cakes.

just check it out when you birth it and rinse and crumble it, if it's not too bad it will smell like mushrooms when you crack it open(rip the cake apart)
