sigh, Im gonna have to toss it huh... (contamination)

Ok... Im really not very happy about this one. And I figure what the advice is going to be. But, a person can always ask huh... Ok. well. If this was just some ordinary cake id toss it and forget about it. But man this sucker was a beauty.
Ok... This thing is thick and beautifully white.. prettiest cake ive ever had someone show me thus far... but the top of it is, well that corner there is turning a shade of green I believe! I know that sometimes you can get a bit of bruising.. but im sure its not. here


So.. there is nothing that can be done?
And I must ask. This cake the guy cased. Everything seemed to be going well. It colonized the casing within about five days. White as new fallen snow as it completed. And now there is green shading there where it was thick white. It looked like healthy Mice. There is 100's of pins around it. But that place there.
I guess if its contamned then its already through the thing. There is also a slight off smell.
Any advice. Can someone identify it. Give me some culprits. Ive heard of white molds that go greenish. The guys very disappointed. Any help is appreciated.

Looks like bruising in the pic, it's that soft color of blue but I can't be certain. If you do really love that cake, isolate it so if it is mold you can still get your mushies off of it before she dies!

I agree that it looks like bruising, rather than mold. Is it sitting directly on the perlite? What kind of fruiting chamber do you have going on?

Ok. he's gonna take it slow then and not jump to reactions. Its in its own giant invitro bag so, If it is contamn then I guess its contained?
I am not sure, exactly how it could have been bruised except by being put in place. Unless. The guy likes to mist some so, if possibly the spray itself could bruise it.
If it is contamn... I just need to know. Whatever that goes from pure white to green. Is it gonna be poisonous or dangerous.
second - can the guy do some surgery now, cut that corner completely off. Its all white beneath it and around it. I know ive read it doesn't help because the contamn is already through the myce system, if I remember correctly.
Thanks peeps

In regards to the perlite and chamber questions.
There is some foil there underneath the base... but the myce didn't care, kinda took over some of the perlite. So much so that.. There r pins surrounding all the perlite too.
There isn't much water in that container though.. its really just for keeping that big ass cake supported.
The chamber is a huge invitro bag. perlite in the bottom. that's the guys humidifier so far.
lots of better ways, I know. cheaper too id say. but it helps with keeping things isolated as the guy learns about it. I tend to agree with him.
Cakes r being made out of Madbags. The substrate seems fairly solid. Next he is going to attempt his own substrate though

If it's dead-up green, I think you should get us some better pictures. Because that would change everything.

Yep, just bruising. It can be caused by physical damage, like dropping it, spraying it too closely or playing slapass or whatever. Or it could be caused be a lack of moisture, like Algo was saying.
I know why you're doing this, but I have to wag a finger and point out that you'll have much better results with a proper fruiting chamber. /dadrant
