Monotub Contamination?

Ok, so i have am monotub that has been going now for about 2 months, i had a single great fruit, but then the dry heat took over and the tubs humidity dropped dramatically. I moved the tub into my basement to hopefully bring down the heat and i found most all of my pin sets aborted. I began misting and fanning about 2 weeks ago and after picking some very small mushrooms (caps open) i noticed a VERY VERY small patch (like a few pin head sized white dots) with greenish looking appearance. At first i thought spores, but just in case i removed the patch and now i see more. I did remove more small open caped shrooms but this is more of a gren then a blue or purple. My question is; can i save pieces of the tub and fruit them in a FC or PMP and be ok? or is the entire thing screwed? PLEASE HELP!!!

Thought so, ok well since it is in a very secluded part of the tub, is there a chance that if i cut out a few cake size pieces of the casing, i could fruit them in my PMP or a FC? or would the contam have infected all of the myc? If you fruit contaminated pins how can you tell if the fruits are contaminated too? w\Will the mold be on the mushroom as well, or will it only be visible before the fruit forms?

Alright, When your right your right. Well one more question then, I have a Mycobag fully colonized a full bag of jiffy mix. what ratio should i use of jiffy to spawn it? and should i use a deeper tub, this one was only half a foot, but i bought a foot and 1/2 sterlite clear tub now and i have all the materials and tools to do a new tub. Oh and what size holes for FAE for a smaller casing/tub like the one im thinking. i beleive its like 58gal but not long just a deep tub.

you only want 1/2 inch to an inch of casing on top of your substrate. and thats only after your sub is 100% fully colonized.
