growing first time penis envy

Hey guys, I have already seen that PE sometimes come out as "mutants" at the first flush and read that there is nothing to be worried about! But, what about that greenish? I can see some on the cake itself and also on two of the pins... I am a little worried its mold?! All the other cakes and pins are looking pretty "normal"
Also how do I know when to harvest these mutants?
Thanks in advance!

Take that cake out of your FC immediately. Do it slowly and gently as to avoid contaminating the other cakes but they likely already are. The discoloration on the stems is strong evidence of contamination

Those are blobby mutants nothing is contaminated.
PE blobs on people for various reasons and usually they perform poorly on cakes...usually.

You don’t think that this brown/green sludgy looking color on his stems is contamination? I’ve only grown PE for over ten years and obviously I’ve seen my share of blobs but never this kind of color pattern

Uhh. Maybe psuedoamonia but... could be bruising or bad light or bad conditions or a co.bo of it all.
Edit:I think i spelled pseudoamonia wrong but utsf it kinda looks like that.

I just took the cake out to be sure and hope the other ones will be okay.
I`m assuming its not recommended to dunk the cake and use it for another flush in case it is mold. Am I right with that?

If you have the means to keep it in fruiting conditions you might as well grow it out on its own just to see how the shrooms turn out, but if that was in my grow area I’d want it out to be on the safe side.
Do the stems feel firm or mushy? Do they feel different where they are white vs where they are brown?

I agree and feel also better with a higher chance to protect the other cakes.
Actually all parts feel pretty firm and not mushy at all

Yeah mushboy is way more experienced than I am so if he says it’s not a contam he’s probably right (I don’t know what pseudoammonia is) but like I said, I’ve only grown this variety for a very long time and never dealt with contaminants and never seen this kind of discoloration even with mutants, so I feel like I’d be safe rather than sorry. Especially since that’s the only cake in your FC that’s blueing at all, seems like a big coincidence for two random off-things to be happening to only one cake at the same time but still have everything be just fine
