Shrooms Falling off cake in FC?

I have a BRF/Verm cake with B+ strain fully colonized, dunked, in FC for a week and a few somewhat large shrooms growing off it, today I check and all 3 that were growing from what seemed to be the same point were on the bottem of the FC. They all have a slight green color on the stems, i'm not only asking how this happen but, are they safe to eat?

It depends. Pictures help
If it was contaminated before the mushrooms fell off, that would explain why the mushrooms fell off and the green.
If they just fell off by chance it might not be contamination and just bruising.

Green mold usually grows on the fruits last, it is unusual to see it on the stems only.
Green mold hates FAE, so fan often to stimulate pinning, and to discourage molds from growing, which require stale air to colonize.
Green mold is harmless to humans, so yes you can eat them, but do your own research on green mold to weigh the risks, I personally would avoid it if possible just cause it is gross, and there may be some ambiguity as to what strain of mold you are contaminated with.
Best advice, switch to rye berries cased 50/50+, you will likely quadruple your yield using the same amount of substrate.
As far as how did this happen, it's the nature of things, contams will always be an issue if you are not sterilizing with a PC and/or committing to FAE.

I may have forgot to mention the most important part
The cake has shrooms growing in other location and still more pins, it is only the first flush, I just think it's so strange because its never happened before and biggest shrooms of first flush falling off! Talk about buzz kill.

I would just like to make note that not all green molds are harmless if ingested. I wouldn't eat any myself.
THere's a difference between mold being near a mushroom and mold being on a mushroom.
Please be careful.
