Did my cake get contaminated?

A couple days ago I harvested my first flush of mushrooms from a cake inside a 2 liter coke bottle. I had to take the cake out because the shrooms' s bases were on the bottom of the cake. I put the cake back in once the mushrooms were picked and the next day I noticed more bluish bruising on the surface,then today I spotted a golden spot on the cake. Is it contamination? Dehydration? Please help!

nice work getting mushrooms out of a coke bottle on your first round. Seriously that's not too shabby. Looking forward to seeing the pics.

I believe what ur talking about is the cake is bruising since you picked it up.

Wow. What is going on there? Lol I'm going to say it's fine but that's because I see no visible signs of trich and some bruising.

Looks like metabolites to me it might be fighting some kinda bacteria i dont think it would be breaking down the substrate at this point

It has some yellow staining rather than metabolites. Which is fine. That green is also just bruised.
Overall it's good

Well sweet if it's not contaminated then that's great! I had some little babies growing when I harvested my first flush but I don't think they'll grow now that they were out of the bottle but who knows

I'd say get rid of the paper towels and go buy some perlite, or shit just collect some rock from nearby and boil them in water for a while then put a couple inches in the bottle, pour in some clean water and the cake on top.
Just trying to stay with the super lo-fi approach.

Well the only reason I went with the paper towel is because the instructions said to put a damp towel on the bottom for moisture support but idk where to find perlite
