I personally think that if I'll be sterile then I'll be fine. The only time the grains and substrate itself had been exposed to the possible trich spores was in that time when I had to open the lid and mix the grains with coco coir in the tub. Lid was off the tub for about 2-3 minutes.
What can I do better next time?

Coco coir + vermiculite + wild bird seed

wbs jars were 100% successful though

Really? Cause I don't know of any.
I don't know about growing in mold infested places, but Trich is pretty much everywhere. You're not getting rid of it, period.

Damn, I didn't think I would get raped by contamination. I guess I thought I'm unrapeable or smth.. but no. It definitely had to happen to me 
Anyways, I hope this one will do fine. My only one.
5 days ago it looked like that

Now it looks like that

Can I put it into fruiting now?
And should I DEFINITELY throw away my two 15 EUR tubs which got trich in it? Couldn't I just wash them with some chemicals?

You don't throw out the tubs....When you take the tubs outside dump them far from your house, preferably in garbage bags.....Then wrap up the garbage bags tight. Make sure you have cleaning things outside. Wash the tubs with a bleach solution outside....Then change your clothes, Ide throw them straight in the wash....Then take a shower....It is good that it hasn't turned green yet because green means its sporulating and shedding its spores everywhere......All this may not be necessary but you have to make sure you don't get that crap anywhere....
-------------------- The mushrooms, which grow only during the season of torrential rains, awaken the forces of creation and produce an experience of spiritual abundance, of an astonishing, inexhaustible constitution of forms that identifies them with fertility and makes them a mediation, a means of communion, of communication between man and the natural world of which they are the metaphysical flesh.

The tubs are fine, plastic can be cleaned. Toss all the stuff growing in the contaminated ones, in a safe way outdoors. Change your clothes when you get back inside and throw your dirty clothes in the wash.
Spawn jars are deceptive. Since healthy myc and trich myc are both white, you may not "see" anything bad in the spawn jars, but it may still be living there.
Please explain your lid tek. That has a lot to do with how good your spawn jars are after you shake them a few times.

Throw the cakes away outside, best to work them into a garden- trich is great for plants. You can spray the tubs down inside and out with 10% bleach water and let air dry to get rid of the extra crap inside them.

Dont feel so bad. You are not ruined. I myself have been in a constant battle with the mean green. (and at the moment i seem to be doing quite well).
I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT NO MORE THAN 4 MONTHS AGO MADE A VERY TERRIBLE MISTAKE, EMPTYING MULTIPLE JARS FULL OF TRICH WITHIN 10 FT OF MY GROW AREA (NOOB). "I COULD ACTUALLY SEE THE SPORES AS DUST" VERY VERY BAD DECISION. IT HAS SHOWED UP ON ME SINCE BUT I AM MANAGING TO KEEP IT AT BAY THANKS TO MY TRUSTY OLD BUDDY "DISINFECTANT SPRAY" AND LOTS OF IT, THAT COMBINED WITH OTHER CLEANERS AND TECHNIQUES ARE WORKING QUITE WELL.
Point: you are not ruined, but if your like me you will be wishing you had treated it like anthrax from the moment it arose.

Ok, I've been away for a couple of days relaxing. I must say that your encouragement helps me a lot. Thanks for this.
I have a question though. What's bleach? I tried to figure out by dictionary, but it doesn't help much.. so I tried google'ing and it appears that it's some kind of "whitener" ?
Oh, and about those mold infected tubs..

I emptied the tubs 3km away from my house, flooded with petrol and set the poop on fire. 
Thanks for the advice! I'm much more calm now.

Bleach is a chlorine chemical that kills lots of bacteria and other stuff, it's almost always used heavily diluted with water. Most people use it to make their white laundry whiter, but it's also used as a household cleaner for some things. It's a good disinfectant but very hard on the lungs, even diluted.

I made two holes in the lids.
One hole for the injection which I covered with a silicon. The other hole for the gas exchange which I stuffed with polyfill.

Thanks. I will try to find it from somewhere tomorrow.

The one's infected with green mold didn't do quite well. There was very little mycelium if at all, and anyways.. I've got rid of them already. Gonna buy the lights in 10 hours and then introduce it to the ones which have survived.

Much love to all of you and nighty nighty
