Can Someone Clear This Up For Me?

How's it going everyone? Well I've been searching this forum on trich but I can't seem to find a definite answer to my question. How long does it take for trich to turn green? A guy I know has some BRF cakes done PFTek style and has seen a bunch of tiny white bumps on a few of his cakes but it has been well over 4 days and there is no sign of green. He's thinking the tiny white dots could be signs of pins now. Two of the cakes that have the tiny white bumps already have pins about half an inch tall. Any ideas?

My bad. Pics are a little blurry and for that I apologize, but its the best I can do. Also, the blueing in the first pic is from the guy trying the Q-Tip test with peroxide. Nothing came off but it bruised blue.

There's no such thing as a q-tip test. It's bogus.
If you saw bumps and they didn't turn green within 4 days, it's probably not trich. Trich usually sporulates within a day or two of when you notice the mycelium. RR

Yeah, the Q-Tip thing being pointless seems to be the general consensus these days, I've noticed.
Well, he will be glad to hear it's not trich. Thank you for clearing that up. Could it possibly be any other contamination?

Pics aren't good enough for an analysis. Cakes that are fully colonized don't get contamed easily either. You're prolly fine

Every time I've seen suspect white that revealed itself as trich, it showed green within twenty four hours. It's a rapid reproducer.

I've had really great luck looking with a white-LED flashlight. the wavelength of the light makes hte two different species of mycelium visibly distinct.
