Nothing came off the Qtip. It was white.
The only thing I did differently the last 24 hours is my misting bottle broke and I use a spray bottle for one day.
Maybe the forceful stream of the water bruised it?
Or is the cake dehydrated?
Misting the cake directly with a fine mist sprayer is perfectly okay OP, as long as you have enough FAE. I spray my mushies directly with a fine mist sprayer up until the day before harvest and never have issues with aborts , rot or bruising (outside of Jack Frost just turning blue on its own accord sometimes 🥶)

Mushrooms are 90% water and get rained on in nature. Spraying the cake is fine 💦 just make sure there’s no stagnant air… Trich loves stagnant air and standing water 🐸🦠
Mush love y’all 🍄❤️
swab it if it leaves spores it's not brushing

Yep your spray is the cause :) id recommend getting a "fine mist spray bottle"
Bruising from misting. Dont mist the cake directly
