Look at these:

See those tiny tiny white/ clear specs? They are MOVING. Slowly creepy crawling... What are they? Are they going to be a bad thing?

movement caused by the growing of the mushroom perhaps?
video will capture the movement better than pics

Those are bugs for sure. I don't know what they are, but I suspect they're eating your fruit! Stop them!

So if it is in fact mites, what can be done about that? Do you have to get rid of the grow or what?

Gota figure out what kind you have first
Mites
Many mites are commonly found in straw and manure, most species are beneficial to mushroom growing as they feed on eelworms and other mites, although some can cause damage. Mites, like fly larvae, may feed on mushroom mycelium and on the mushrooms, where they can cause surface discoloration. They may also live on other fungi (weeds and indicator molds) found in mushroom culture. One example is the red pepper or pygmy mite (Pymephorus spp.). These mites are commonly associated with Penicillium and Trichoderma molds, upon which they feed. Pygmy mites do not feed on Agaricus. These mites have the ability to change into an intermediate stage called a hypopus, wherein they develop flattened bodies and a sucker plate with which they attach to moving objects, like flies. Mites at this stage swarm on top of mushrooms.
1. Tarsonemid mite
These mites are pale brown and are so minute that they are only visible with the aid of a microscope. They cause damage by feeding entirely on hyphae of mushrooms and the grower will know if he has these mites present, as the base of the stem of the mushroom will show a reddish brown discolouration. Where severe infestations occur the whole base of the mushroom may be detached from the growing surface.
Control 1. As with eelworms little can be done when mites are present in the growing house, therefore efficient composting and peak heating must take place to ensure that they are killed during the pasteurisation process. 2. Good hygiene should be practised around the farm, especially in the clearance of crop debris.
2. Tyroglyphid mites (Tyrophagus spp)
These mites can be identified as they are slow moving, translucent, with long hairs on their bodies.
If these mites are present in abundance they eat small pits in the caps and stalks. These pits then suffer from bacterial decomposition, which breaks down tissues just below the surface. This results in the skin collapsing which leaves an open pit. Tyroglyphids may also feed on mushroom mycelium, where they are present in large numbers, crop reductions can be caused. Mites usually gain entry into the compost by clinging onto Sciarid flies when the mites are the migratory stage. These migratory stages are normally produced when mites become overcrowded. The mites should not be a problem where efficient composting and peak heating takes place. Organic debris should not be allowed to accumulate around the farm as it provides a breeding ground for mites.
3. Red Pepper Mites (Pygmephorous spp)
These mites are not regarded as primary pests, their presence is usually an indicator that Trichoderma (green mould) is present in the compost. These mites feed on various weed moulds but not mushrooms, thus their presence indicates that the compost is unsatisfactory. The mites are yellowish-brown in colour, 0.25 mm in length and have a flattened appearance, they also are capable of rapid rates of reproduction. As already stated these mites are secondary pets and they often swarm on the casing and mushroom surfaces. Where this happens their presence makes the mushrooms unsaleable. These mites can also spread spores of Trichoderma from bag to bag.
Nematodes – Aphlelenchoides composticola and Ditylenchus myceliophagus
These nematodes are common inhabitants of most agricultural soils. Symptoms include a degeneration of mushroom mycelium and failure of mushrooms to form. Normally, an infestation is noticed at the time of third break. Mycelium in affected areas is completely destroyed and as the compost decomposes, it turns black and a medicinal odor is detectable. An effective Phase II is the primary control

Do you grow weed in your house as well ? They could be white spider mites.

Honestly I have no idea what you're supposed to do...but I see anything out of the ordinary I toss it the fuck out...rather just start some new jars or LC than fuck with repairing a mold infestation or some shit.
My opinion is that yeah it's an extra effort and a jar/tub/etc to buy. But you'll be more likely to avoid weird shit happening with mold, bacteria, bugs, etc. They weren't there before you started growing right? Then they shouldn't be there now either. It's not worth having some kind of infestation IMO.

I agree man, screw messing around with bugs! Especially tiny ass bugs, i'd probably toss it to.
It really sucks though, i wonder if he could just clean everything up really well or be better off tossing the tub?? That sucks man... well at least you have some fruits, maybe you can wash them off and proceed to dry em?
