Penis Envy Dubtub Unfamiliar Growth w/ pics (noob)

I would first like to thank the shroomery and all of the contributions made by its members, i have read on the site for a few years now and with the knowledge I've gained one successful grow of cakes has come to fruition.
and without further ado, regarding the subsequent dubtub that I built, here is my first post about a grow (a.k.a. concern):
Starting by letting 4 half pint jars of popcorn each inoculated with 1mL of a MS PE syringe (thehawkseye) reach 100% colonization, I waited 4 more days to assure healthy growth. (jars were shaken at ~40-60%)
8-20-15 The 4 jars were spawned into only coir(+gypsum) [prepared with a 5-gallon bucket+boiling water] which was allowed to cool before I mixed in the popcorn in a ~1:2 ratio, giving me about 3" of substrate. The surface was then covered with foil that never actually touched the sub.
8-30-15 After incubating in the GC @ 86ºF for 10 days, the foil was removed and the surface appeared to be at 90-95% colonization. At this point it was out of the GC and now subject to fruiting conditions.
9-6-15 The first of what my understanding of what Hyphal Knots are started to appear.
9-9-15 First Pins appear.
9-11-15 First pronounced mushroom head in the morning followed by several more in the evening.
9-15-15, Today
THE FIRST HEADS TO APPEAR STARTED SHOWING BLUING, AND NOW THE DOMINANT GROWTHS LOOK SO WEIRD TO ME!!! I'm not sure if its just that Im new to the hobby, or using just coir was the wrong idea but someone please give me some advice.

The misting was done just a couple hours prior to this, as I was concerned it was getting too dry in there. It is not condensation.

Looks like blobs to me... if I'm not mistaken, they are pretty common amongst the PE variety.

On the first cake i ever did (a birthed, flat, sandwich-sized container) i lost the whole thing to dehydration after not checking on it for 48 hours when i went out of town, in which case the entire substrate began to turn blue and never recovered. I was hoping i could mist it to help remedy that, if that IS the case that is.

You got the bonus mutant flush that every PE comes with!
Can we see a picture without the lid? The lid foggy-ness makes it look way worse than it is I think.
Also try a couple picks with flash. Or with extra light directly on the surface.
Mutant blobs often lead as the first flush with Penis-Envy. This could be totally normal pending better pictures.

Blob = mutant. I wish I had a picture of the sub without the lid so it was clearer. The colors are muddled in the current data.

I take that back. A blob and a mutant I would consider different.
A mutant resembles a mushroom.
A blob is a random mess of genetic information that looks nothing like a textbook mushroom, even remotely.
But mutation leads to blobs.

Im glad you came you your senses

I got the MS syringe from thehawkseye, so it is possible that a strain i received was over isolated or something of sorts (possibly by someone with different growing techniques who never encountered this??)
in any case:

Do you have Reishi mycelium anywhere in the house?
This is a serious question.

I wouldn't sweat it too much. Next time consolidate and case your PE. Don't incubate either. 86 is way too hot. You might have encountered some bacterial growth with those high Temps. Bacteria can cause a sub to look like that but it will still flush as long as it isn't weakened to the point that mold can take over.

The sub is looking a little dry... you're misting 1-2 times a day?

nope, no misting just dunking between flushes
i plan to use a casing for the next flush as PE tends to form these blobs commonly without one apparently.

They are definitely just blobs as a previous poster mentioned. Every single time I've done grown PE I've gotten these blobs in abundance. They are VERY potent!!! Your second and 3rd flush if you go for a third will look like normal fruits. So be happy and feel accomplished. Success is awesome

I appreciate the input RKelly, especially from a relatively new member as myself. This is one of my first real grows moving forward from cakes and i can't deny that i was shocked when i first realized the fruits i was getting were these deformed things i'd never seen.
furthermore, you could imagine my surprize when me and a buddy SPLIT 30 g wet blobs and EACH had level three trips, possibly touching level four.
All in all, its a hobby of pleasantries so i call them pleasant surprises in heinsight
