this cake bruised heavily when shrooms started popping up. it was fluffy white before and overnight it shrinked and got this heavy blue color. what does it mean when this happens? is the mycelium dead over there? how easy is for contam to colonize bruised mycelium compared to healthy?

Its a bit bacterial, but thats not the bruising. It looks dry. I notice in the pics it looks like its hourglass shaped perhaps from being dried out. I'd water em.

I find that often happens when the top colonizes first and the bottom takes a while to colonize since the top will use up the sub's resources shrinking it while the bottom finishes colonizing.

It was getting mists and watering every 4 hrs. Those shrooms sure picked a lot of water otherwise no idea how this happened.
What sign shows its bacterial? id like to know.

What are the implications of this fact in the long run? Dried, are the shrooms safe to eat?  And will the myc contam easily later on because of its bad health?

dried shrooms are safe to eat. yes it will be more susceptible to other contaminants getting a foothold. its pretty common for spore syringes to be somewhat bacterial, so its no biggie really.

sure. if its got big fruits on it, you can also just set it on a shallow dish of water for a few hours and give it a good misting.
