Trich on fully colonized cake?

I had a FULLY colonized BRF cake, thing was covered in white mycelium. It went through its first flush and then on its second I noticed it started growing some mushrooms and those mushrooms kinda stopped developing(maybe 4 days ago). I picked it up today and noticed some green spots on the bottom and my jaw dropped. Is this trich? i thought it was only a big issue when they were colonizing, but after fruiting they should be safe. they have been kept in a container w/ perlite and some other cakes and some cased rye. I dont know how long this has been going on. It's getting thrown away but, my question is, will the mushrooms that have been picked off this thing be contaminated? and will mushrooms off of other cakes around it be contaminated? (if it is a contamination) I also rubbed it with a wet qtip and the green rubbed off and soaked into the qtip (i read somewhere on here about doing that, but dont remember what it did) Im about to carefully cut it and look at the inside to see what it looks like in there. I tried not sniffing it, but it's not putting off any odors or anything.. would this be an indicator? If i did inhale something on accident, i started antibiotic treatment 2 days ago for an unrelated illness, would this help prevent something?
Ill post those results later

cut the inside open, the green is just on the surface. inside is pure white mycelium. I'm not worried about throwing this cake away.. im woried about a. the cased rye which was still covered in foil around it. b. the other cakes that were around it. (not so much) c. If i took some mushrooms off this cake at an earlier date, are they safe?

that is trich take it out of your grow area i would just throw it away but if you going to cut in to it i would do it outside trich spores are very sticky and will stick to everything and if you get it your grow area it could ruin your future projects as for the shrooms as long as they didnt have trich growing on them you should be fine

I was not aware that mushrooms could grow with trich on them. I always thought it just overtook the mycelium. the past couple of mushrooms have looked all right... let me reorder my priorites...
1. that my past grown mushrooms have been safe. (while this cake was in there) and I mixed some of the ones that came from that cake (when there was no green on it) after they were dried w/ other mushrooms. 2. cased rye is safe. it still hasnt been subjected to fruiting conditions, im guessing if it doesnt start growing anything green on it, it should be good to go, right?

are you dunking after every flush? after a flush. cakes start drying out they need to rehydrate F.A.E will keep alot of contams away as for the others only time will tell ive had the same problem before and some made it some didnt cakes once fully colonized they are resistet to many contams the cased rye should be fine as long it was covered and you werent shaking the contam cake around it

Sorry, what does F.A.E stand for again? I'm sure I've heard it before with all the reading I've done, but there's a lot of acronyms. This cake was getting pretty damn dry.. it had some bluish hue on the spots that were dry, that was not a contam, I've had that on cakes before.
can a cake infected w/ trich even grow mushrooms? or does it stil grow mushrooms, but they are tainted/dangerous?

F.A.E. stands for Fresh air exchange. Throw that cake away! The very fact that it is out in the open while you take the picture is enough to fill the entire room with millions of spores!

I threw it and three other cakes that were next to it away. I'm gonna try and save the cased rye... if i dont see any green on the casing and only mycelium, i should be good to go, right?
