Yellow gooey substance inside stipe

Yellow/beige gooey liquid started pooling on the surface and I initially thought it was metabolites.

I dabbed up all the pooling and it comes back within 2-3 hours. Upon closer inspection, I realized that the liquid comes from the mushroom and not from the substrate. So I split the stipe in half and that's where I found the source of the yellow goo. I've never seen this happen before. This only happened to 2-3 mushrooms, not the entire flush. Why did this happen?

does it look good when dried?
i seen a similar texture on the outside with water logged mushrooms, it's usally near base though. if you squeeze it, like a sponge, it will ooze water. could be over ripe and water logged.
i never cut open a water logged mushroom, so if it's contamination someone else may have better input.

Not yet. Curious what I did wrong.

I tossed them out. Didn't want to bother with it and it was only 2-3 fruits that had this issue. And when I squeezed the stipe, it will ooze out that gooey substance. But it's definitely not water. And I doubt my substrate is waterlogged. I spawned with field capacity coir and never misted once.

Super gross and I wouldn’t want that soaking into my pores lol. But is it the mushroom being dissolved from the inside and leaking out or is it soaking it up from the sub after it’s produced by the myc?
It seems like the mushroom has a disease or something

It's definitely coming from the mushroom itself. It's not from soaking it up from the sub because it's only 2-3 fruits that are secreting this gooey substance. The rest of the mushrooms are fine. Also, ever since I harvested those mushrooms, there's no more pooling of that gooey substance on the surface of my substrate. I'm still trying to figure out what it is, why it did that, and how to prevent it from happening again

Aw man. Imagine biting into a fresh mushroom and juices explode inside your mouth..... the smell of the gooey substance reminds me of the strong odor of urine when ur dehydrated. Touching it left a stench that won't come off simply by wiping it with a tissue. I had to wash my hands with soap afterwards.

Looks like bacteria contam on the substrate maybe it infected the mushroom stem. Look at the aborts around it.
