It could be metabolites exuding from the result of infection or the meeting of two different types of mycelium / mold. There could be a chance that pins will form. Check out the stickies on contamination to find out more - like this one https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/23130868

Looks like a bacterial contamination. Metabolites are released in response to the presence of a contaminant. They are typically yellow, but can be other colors too like orange.

What species?  I think if that's supposed to be a cube, that looks horrible!  But my jars and bags of Reishi look like that.  If that's supposed to be P.Cube, throw that jar away.  If it's a different species, like Ganoderma, then the brownish color would be metabolites I believe.  Regardless, species will help answer what kind of situation you have!

Its P cubensis. It does look nasty but its not smelling bad. Should I discard it or can I save the top part that is looking normal.
Thank you all!

Personally as coir is cheap and it sounds like you don't have much else on the go I'd spawn it for the experience. Just keep a close eye on it for contaminations and keep out if your 'lab' space if you're working on other cultures or whatever. I think you will get some fruits off it, just don't expect much and start something else off ASAP.
