Opinion needed (Discoloration, and spots)

Hello!
I've got some young APE in a monotub, first time doing this and posting.
One of them is quite mutated (blobing?) and just began getting blue discoloration in its cap.
A different one has some spots on it.
The others look fine, and I know APE caps tend to tint green or blue normally, but being first timer I'm not sure if these 2 specimen are fine.
1. Spots on cap

2. Discoloration


Any assistance is much appreciated!

The second pic is grainy making the blue kinda look like mold, does it wipe off with a qtip? If it doesn't its just a bruis

Very little grey slime on Qtip if I wipe with a little force, but not blue and it doesn't seem to come off.
(Thank you for replying)

Still a noob here, so take this with a grain of salt. But the first picture with the spotting could be from misting or humidity dropping from your ceiling/roof. Haven’t experienced it before, but regurgitating from what I’ve read and absorbed. Just

Nah, that causes dark splotches, not a rough texture.
Thats prolly genetic

Thank you, I appreciate both of your inputs!
While I'm not certain, I believe its genetics and bruising. If they can bruise themselves, that particular one grew really fast and is mutated so maybe it wrecked itself?

Alright, more have been popping up, they have a blue/greenish tint on the cap, and sorta slimey. I took some pics incase anybody can help a brotha out in identifying if contam or normal for APE.
If you read this and know please reply!
They are a little darker in the pictures than in person.

Most of those look fine. If they are falling apart, soft, and slimy, the. They are rotting.
This is how ape should look

I would pluck and toss the one that you wiped

Awesome, I just got some time and was checking tons of pictures, kinda hard to find close ups where you can see the texture of the caps real well which is what lead me to be worried.
When I wipe them it doesn't seem to come off the cap, maybe its just the natural slime of the cap? Since apes tint blue normally, I wouldn't be surprised if the slime is just tinted.
Thank you again, I'll check for rotting! I actually sampled a little yesterday (non blue ones).
First time trying any PE variety and WOW. Glad I chose these!
