I have a tray that i made with 3 colonized rye grain quart jars, i cased them with jiffy mix and let it incubate for 2 weeks. i have had this tray in my FC for about a week now. the thing is i noticed what i thought was overlay, well, that overlay started to turn green but like a light green. does not smell bad at all but wondering if this is contam or is it just the mycelium?

Its Trich I'm guessing .I get so freaked out by green I wish I had the money to just burn the house down and get a new one,last time I had green in jars I pressure cooked them for 2 hrs TWICE.I am not kidding green not only means dearth to this grow but the next million grows once it spits its spores into your grow area,do EVERYTHING in still air that you have sanitized with diluted bleach or it will turn green as well

Well its possible. If it really is Trich, then it could spread to the rest of your cakes. That is why you need to find out for sure if it is. Then you have to remove that cake immediately and toss. Trich usually happens when there is standing water or maybe too much moisture gathering on the cakes. Post a pic and we can tell ya!

Unfortunately it most likely does,certainly separate it from anything else you have immediately,and before you move it at all cover every spot of green that you see with a paste made of salt so less spores from it can get into the air

You have to be able to tell bruising from mold. Many cubensis strains bruise green, not blue. RR

AGreed.
I have had myc bruise suspiciously green before. Myc brusing can range from a very difinitive blue to a scary dark green that surely looks like contam to the untrained eye.
If its brusing its the colour of the mycelial itself. If its mould then it will look like coloured sand ontop of the mycelium or like a scab etc.
I havnt heard overly in a while, you most likely do not have overlay.
