So, I did a clone-to-LC on a mushroom from my last batch (pink buffalo I think) that afterwards I noticed had no bluing upon injury. The cake the mushroom came from was standard PF tek, but on a later flush when it didn't look to vigorous.
The LC grew and looked OK, so I used it to inoculate some coir-BRF cakes. I also used a spore syringe to inoculate some other coir-BRF cakes at about the same time.
The spore inoculated cakes came out thick and white, and are doing well. The LC inoculated cakes came out with thinner, lighter mycelium, almost grey against the black coir, but 100% colonized.
The LC cakes also have more yellowing. There is some water stress bluing on the cakes, but no injury bluing. The pins in the LC cakes look rather like cubes, but grow with lighter caps.
Anyway, here's a fruit from the mystery mycelium. Anyone recognize this as a cube or otherwise? There is no injury bluing at all. Is that possible in a cube?

Uch, that looks terrible. I think it's being attacked by something. That fuzz on the stype should be white not gray, and the stipe tissue should be cream/white not sinus infection eggyolk with dried bloodspots.
Get some TC opinions but that looks bad to me.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

I appreciate the quick responses. As it happens, the one I posted pics of is slowly bluing around the edges at this point. The specks on it are bits of coir from the cake. I also ran it under the tap before taking the pictures, so that, along with dropped spores and maybe drier fruiting conditions might explain the grey.
I guess if it's bluing, it must be a cube. All the same, it doesn't blue as quickly as other, healthier one's that I have. Could this just be genetic variation of potency along with possibly some contam hitchhikers?

When the stipe is very watery, I've found they tend to blue less. The firmer they are, the harder they blue.
Purple Brown spore print, came from cubes, probably a cube.
The mycellium's appearance can vary from strain to strain, though usually once it gets thick it looks white even if it starts grey.
