Hi, I am a new grower so I appreciate any help that people wish to give me. I have read through a lot of articles and have found only a little on what is happening with my cultivation.
I had fully colonized pf cakes that seemed to be contamination free. The plan was to use them for a casing. Once I birthed them out of the mason jars and into a clean plastic bag and started crumbling them up, the mycelium started changing into a blue/blue green color. This all happened within 30 secs of birthing until I had a bag of severely discolored mycelium.
So confused by this I tryed one more cake and it did the exactly the same thing. I did a contamination test on it by seeing if I could get mold to come off with a wet cloth, but they seemed to not be uncontaminated with a mold, however they are blue/green!?!?
The only information that I could find on the issue says that they might be dryed out or the humidity is too low or handled too much. I went ahead and put them in the casing layer to see what happens. The change in color was very rapid all taking place over a 2-3 minute span.
Anyone ever seen this happen before??

either some bruising due to being handled roughly or just simple oxidation of alkaloids. no real harm eiter way
