white hat on GT mushrooms 1

I have some GT mushrooms that appear to be healthy, but there is a white growth on top of their cap that I have not seen in other pictures of GTs. Is this white cap normal or at least still safe to have on the mushroom?

One more question as I am a complete newbie. After I cut them, there was some dark blue marks on the stem where I cut both on the base of the substrate and then after I cut them in half.
I'm thinking that it's only bruising as more of the blue marks showed up after I cut them in half and let them sit for a bit, which seems to indicate bruising.

Just bruising, here’s the scientific answer
Picking, handling, or damaging the mushrooms triggers a chemical reaction that activates two enzymes in the mushroom, PsiP and PsiL. The first enzyme, PsiP, converts psilocybin to psilocin in the mushroom. This is similar to the way in which enzymes in the human liver also catalyze psilocybin to psilocin. In our case, the reaction inspires a psychedelic experience.
Psilocin doesn’t necessarily hang around long in magic mushrooms, however. The compound is quickly oxidized by the second enzyme, PsiL, rendering the molecule unstable. As a summary published by Nature explains, this action “forces individual psilocin molecules to fuse into pairs, trios, and larger groupings.” These psilocin conglomerates appear blue to the human eye because the new chemical structures reflect blue light.

Excellent, thank you very much, too, SimulatedMatrix33!

MrBlueshrooms, true, true. I'll most likely try cloning someday, but for now I'm just trying to grow mushrooms to harvest
