Hey, My first grow seemed all groovy but today my fastest growing cake seems to be going blue, and maybe a slight yellow patch?....I think it may have received some extra water in the early misting days from drips from the misting bottle as it is at the front (??not certain of this). I'm getting fluffy bases too (weather has hot hot quite suddenly so environment has changed, am regularly fanning currently not misting but keeping the base towels moist)
Any help with letting me know if I should remove this and ditch it or wait to harvest much appreciated....just bruising or contaminated?
(Pics an early one to see health of cakes, one of all 4 from the top and the last ones close up of affected area taken today)

That looks like bruising to me. I donโt grow with cakes, I grow in tubs but when I most after a flush it looks similar to this. I would probably stop misting at this point. The mushrooms themselves do not like to be misted. But it looks good for the most part. Some fuzzy feet but thatโs ok.

For a water tub like that you really want to elevate the cakes on a rack or something similar. Standing water is placed under the cakes but not in contact with them. Youโll also want to trim the foil closer to the cakes. They look very thirsty. I would also mist them from up high and let the mist fall onto the cakes also discontinue fanning. The blue is bruising from the dry mycelium.

And welcome to the shroomery!

ah ok, thanks, I stopped misting as I thought that would damage the shrooms and was fanning 'cause I though the fluffy feet meant not enough FAE. The weather has got hot though so I'm not surprised they are drying out. Have misted some tonight and will continue as they mature. Not sure what you mean by water tub? its supposed to be a SFC, it has holes on all 6 sides so cant have standing water in the bottom. I'll do smaller foil for the 2nd flush, if they survive! Thanks for the feedback

Standard chapping from improper conditions/treatment.
As HBO stated, a properly configured "water tub" is the way to go. Your setup is not that. Your cakes look healthy and should explode in a better scenario. Good job so far.
I don't know if this is the current up to date design but this should get you started in the right direction at least. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26601054/fpart/1/vc/1

great, thanks for the feedback , the PF Tek instructions I read prior to this were all about the shotgun fruiting chamber, I think I will try water tub for 2nd flush, sounds like it will be much better for humidity!
