Can over/under watering(humidity) cause blueing?

I have a cake that has a bluish greenish spot on top of it, I have done the paper towel test and no color rubbed off, and there is no smell. I was wondering if blueing can occur from humidity being to low or high, or if water droplets rest on the mycelium?

If you're seeing bluish greenish spots on a cake, that kind leads me to believe that you didn't Dunk n roll it. If you didn't, then the cake is totally vulnerable to loosing moisture. Yes, it can and most often will bruise at points of dryness, most typically at the top of the cake.
Although a pic would be nice.

I did dunk/roll i think i may not have enough rh because the water tends not to stand on the glass for more then 3 or so hours. I read with perlite you need holes below the perlite to help pul moisture up. So i taped up a couple holes and drilled some new ones. If it seems to work better then ill keep it like that if i still have troubles ill see what else i can do. The casing i have in there is doing good which leads me to believe there is a lower humidity than that preferred

If you dunked and rolled, how in Gods name can you see the bluing that occurs underneath it. If you're seeing greenish blue on the vermiculite or whatever you rolled it with, then your talking contamination.

the myc either grew over the verm or it was thin in that area.I seriously think it is a lack of humidity. Here is a pic though.
A day after birthing.

Now(5 days later).

Yea, that doesn't look like contamination. Looks like blueing. Although, there are some places on the vermiculite that look to have green specs. Without a high res close up I couldn't say for sure. I say get real close to it and see if you see that same coloration on the vermiculite. If it is there, it is a contam. If it's not there you're fine.
