Uh oh
Green is never good man, that's some trich you've got there I believe. Time to go into damage control mode, a decent trich contamination can be pretty hazardous to future grows unless contained.
Good luck!

From the right pic it looks like trichoderma so it's not salvageable. Not by any means that I know anyway. Don't let it sporulate and infect anything else, it's a gigantic pain in the ass. I've been suffering from it recently because I took shortcuts in pasteurisation.
What bulk substrate are you using?

Time to bleach everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. Scrap it and try again. Better sterile tek better pasturization (not sterilization) for your bulk. Try try again...

That is definitely the beginning of a contam. I've had it on my cakes before (a little spot like that) so I put them outside, and in a few days they were covered with green. Sorry.
Is this a monotub, btw? And is it not fully colonized? If it is a mono, next time save a little bit of our substrate to cover the exposed grains with a small layer. You don't want your grains exposed like that. I hope your next grow goes better!

Man i would try to contain it with a old visine bottle full of peroxide. Just put a few drops on each spot a couple times a day and it might kill it depending on how bad it is. This just happened to me with a green mold of some kind, I did just as I said and the contam stoped dead in its tracks thank god. I had some of the product it was great no bad side effects. And it was during the first pin set so it was early and the sub did the normal life cycle after.

 IS HORRIBLE ADVICE!
Scrap it, or dump it outside away from your growing area...

well most of us dont grow to distribute just 1 maybe 2 fc for me. Yea I guess if u have 12 mono tubs in ur closet then ud wana throw them out but my whole work area did not get contamonated. I even open the window and put a fan in it for fresh air and all those wild spores didnt contam my whole work area, just clean before u do ur work. Some people take this too seriously and totaly over complicate it. But what do I know Ive only been registered for less than a week and 45 posts their is no way I know anything about this stuff. Go get em tiger!

I'm going to have to agree with most everyone else and say to throw that shieeet outside, not even worth contaminating your whole grow zone! Get a little more cleanly and get back to work brother!

take that shit outside. u can try to cut out the contamination but i would not bring it back in the house. if temps outside are to cold to fruit dump the whole thing. bleach EVERYTHING OUTSIDE! Tich has fucked up more then one grow space of mine, to the point of having to move to get away from it.
