Steve,
Stover & I think the top board is mineral stain and bottom 3 are spalted. It's hard to tell just looking at pic's .
Only the top board looks what we've been cutting. The brown part should turn out green and the blue next to the crack will be black. The black is sometimes next to a flaw . Call us if you need to.

Splaterd what
-
Spalting is any coloration of the wood caused by fungral decay. The color change you see in that poplar is the initial stages of decay. Not necessarily a bad thing. The wood may still be perfectly fine for call stock. Spalting can produce some attractive color variations in the wood.
On the other hand, mineral stained wood is a condition caused by minerals in the soil disolved in the sap.
You have some interesting wood there.
