Moldy shrooms?

Hi,
I'm a noob, but have been having a good time with my first batch. Earlier today I noticed a blue-green patch on one of my cakes. I thought it might be a bruised mycelium, so I left it to see if it grows. The blue-green patch didn't, but it appears on the base of a neighboring shroom. Is this mold or normal? Do I have to worry about it and throw out the cake? I tried the peroxide-cotton swab test and it didn't come off of the cake unless I pressed very hard. Light swabbing did nothing. I tried swabbing the base of the shroom, too, and nothing came off. This is my first flush and I dunked them before fruiting. Please advise! Thanks to all.

Here are some other pics. One is of a blackish "abort" that I found and the other is of a mushroom that split after drying for an hour in a food dehydrator. Some green can be seen in the pic where I used a flash. Again, thanks for any feedback, I don't want to waste these gems!

Awesome, thanks, that was what I was hoping for. It occurred after the fruiting took off, but I was still worried.
Peace!

Im not sure if your cakes are getting enough FAE. Hence the bruising on the cake, and the number of aborts.

Fae fresh air exchange. I think this means you need to move air into your chamber more than what you have been doing. I am a noob but they have severral post on how to do this.

Cool. I'll read them. I'm growing them in a closet, so that makes a lot of sense.
