P.caerulescens sclerotia on agar or penicillin contamination?

P.caerulescens spore print from 2018 from a trusted members give away. Poured 20 plates and put spores to 4. Clumps of spores the size of pin tip to MEA agar on the nutrition rich side.
After 2nd day spore clumps were covered white in mycelium
4th day the initial clump of spores is turning blue.

Hard to tell, is the blue in the middle producing little balls of liquid? If it wasn't mixed with the mycelium would be easyer to tell, looks like you could transfer that to a new plate or two

Im sorry for the bad picture. my phone camera sucks and im investing in a dedicated camera.
The blue area on all 4 plates are not producing any liquid and seem to me to be just on the spores i dropped. Im going to try a small transfer of the furthest area away from the blue.

IME bruising on agar is from drying out.
Give it a couple days and you'll know forsure.

Ive seen old posts on how mushrooms with greater psilocybin % the mycelium can turn blue on agar with no damage. Rodgerrabbit had mentioned it a few times.
Ill wait another day and see how they look and will take a transfer.
Thank you guys for the replies. Much love.

Psilocybin content and bruising have no tested correlation

After more research i dont think its brusing anymore.
What i mentioned above that i read on old posts was it saying that its possible for mushrooms containing a higher psilocybin % to have blue spots form in the mycelium.
Theres not much on the subject but a few post point towards sclerotia forming.

Bluing and bruising are the same thing, whether caused by dryness or touch, and have nothing to do with psilocybin content.

i dont think its bruising anymore and i understand what yall are saying. I need to change the title, its misleading.
I was talking about mushrooms with a higher psilocybin % bluing from sclerotia forming on the agar as ive seen it happen before with other mushrooms, just not much information on it happening with p.caerulescens.
sorry if the way i word things is making it hard to answer my questions.

I guess I'm not understanding what it is you're saying a higher psilocybin content has to do with anything?
