I have searched far and wide but I have not found a cake that looks like mine. Its pinning and all of the potentional shrooms look good in my opinion. What do you guys think about the circled pink

Sorry for the double post but I decided to crop one of the pictures to share more detail of this spot.

Yeah looks like fusarium maybe? Not lipstick mold for sure. Either way it's contaminated and I'd personally toss this one. Fusarium is a dangerous mold to be handling, and ideally should not be in anyone's home.

After a ton of reading I decided to take your advice and bury this one in the backyard. Looks like the most developed mushroom which still seemed small for maturity opened up its cap, which in my head indicates a last ditch to spread spores. I did harvest the fruits, not sure if I am going to keep them. I have read brown discoloration inside the stem indicates a fusarium infection but I do not think this means mycotoxins have built up inside the p. cubensis fruiting bodies. I know the better-safe-than sorry thing to do would be to toss these fruits, but I have been chipping away at thus project for a few months without success and to get so close and end up empty-handed is extremely dissapointing. Better to be dissapointed than extremely sick (or get any of my friends and family sick)(or dead!!!).
This infection seems odd though, I innoc'd corn syrup/water with a MS syringe of Penis Envy from a reputable vendor, PC'd six pint jars of wbs and innoc'd them. I didn't get contam in any of the jars but 5/6 stalled because I accidently cooked them because at first I thought I had to use an incubator. This last jar was kept outside of the incubator for space reasons. I spawned it to coco/vermiculite and after colonization birthed it to the cake chamber you saw in my pics. After 7 days the cakes started fruiting and it was only on day 8 or 9 when I noticed the pink spot. Plus the other cake from the same spawn jar seems fine, as far as I can tell.
Luckily I have 4 more jars that I have kept at 75 f so if I have to restart it won't be from step one.
Here's some pics of the mushies I just harvested, thoughts?
