Possible Contam?

Well this is my first shot at mycology and I've made 12 cakes of Koh Samui and they all seem to be going really well and are pretty much colonized. The only exception are 2 jars which are nearly fully colonized but have some suspicious looking yellowish spots on them. I know the Magic Mushroom Grower's Guide says that cakes will occasionaly turn a pale yellow but I hope someone will be able to help identify if it's dangerous or not.
 You can see the pale strip of yellow up near the rim.
Again the spot is up near the rim. This one is smaller and actually seems to have almost gone away in the last few days.
If anyone can help identify this or determine if it's bad or not please let me know.

Not to sure on that strain but I would go ahead and birth them in a seperate FC than your other cakes without the spots. I use 12 pack coolers for what I like to call hospital FC's with 1/2 inch cooked water in the bottom of coarse making sure water is room temp.But I put the cakes on top of a plastic lid to lift them out of the water. Also b4 (sorry steps are backwards) Before I put them in FC I would take a Gallon of water to 1 Tablespoon of bleach in a bowl and submerse the cake with a plate or something to keep the cake submersed and put it in the fridge for 24 hours the light bleach solution will sometimes help. And dont worry it is ok to use that little bit of bleach.

Dude, you are all good. From here they look normal. That yellowing happens often. Wait for 1 week past 100%colonization then dunk and roll in normal tap water. You will know when you birth if contamed. ( Birth in a seperate FC if worried but im sure your OK. )
