Is this contamination? AA+ Corn Tek.

I am wondering if this is contaminated at all. This is corn Tek for AA+ and the mycelium turned blue (probably because the lid was left off and they dried out a bit) but they recovered and produced some massive 8-inch fruits. Now, waiting for the last large fruit to finish, the mycelium looks yellowish and still very blue and furthermore, there is white growth like mycelium on top of the dark blue mycelium... The last fruit looks very healthy, but I am wary of contamination so I wanted expert advice. Safe to pick the last fruit? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Fruits are fine to eat and looks like bruising cause it's dried out the white growth is healthy myc re growing and if your worried lightly swab it with a qtip if it's bruising it won't transfer but mold spores will come off on the swab. Rehydrate it well and you could get a decent next flush if it's not hurt to bad from drying.

What is your spawn rate? I can see pretty much only grains. Some coir also, i think, but mostly just grains.

Nothing wrong with 1:1 when you are just starting, grains are the most nutritious thing in your tubs afterall

It looks like less than 1:1 but honestly, in my opinion, its a waste of spawn.
Too much nutes not enough water.
Its gonna dry too fast, if surface is fucked its not gonna pin properly, even if everything is great yield is gonna be crap cause mushrooms are mostly water and misting is not gonna cut it.

I dunno man... at least some casing to cover grains so they don't turn so blue.
Back to OP, doesn't look like mold contamination.
