Ordered kit but the mycelium has grown already before open it

I received my order today and the mycelium has been already spread to the kit I haven't opened it yet.Should I open it and add water or I should live it like this until the mycelium covers the hole box?Also i found that in some spots the are some small green dot like spots should I worry?
Here is some photos:

what do the instructions say? aren't they supposed to be like that?
I've never used a kit, so can't really help, but it looks all in order. the spots are probably bruising so I think you're ok

Cubes? I thought selling active mycellium is illegal.
Was it a sponsor from shroomery? Please dont give the name just yes or no.
I have never seen a kit already knocked up like that, thats why Im asking.
And that doesnt look like bruising...looks like a contam.
And is that perlite on the bottom?
EDIT: Sorry its just that im soo confused here.

Looks like you have some contamination. Kind of an odd setup, or at least I haven't seen one like it. I also thought it was illegal to sell something inoculated with cubes as well. Because the spores are for microscopy use only ^_^

Contaminates can be other colores other then green....
It looks like the mycelium has overlayed on the surface....
With the money you payed for that kit, op, you could have bought enough materials to make 100+ more.

I'd keep an eye on it. always hard to tell from a small picture on a screen. but keep it away from areas where you might want future grows. and definitely don't open it until you're sure
does it look a lot like this?

No it doesn't.In the webpage of the kit says that I have only just to add water.But why to do that?The mycelium has already developed.

Probably means to add water once the kit is finished colonizing ( fully white).

that kit arrived to you exactly how it should have.
that company sells blocks of live cube mycelium.
all you have to do is add water and put it in the bag it came with.
you'll probly get some mushrooms.
but you could get infinity more mushrooms if you didn't buy a kit.
if you havent got the picture from the ten other posters before me.
dont buy kits.

I knew that doing it the hard way using syringes would be better.I have read many articles about it but for the first time I wanted to do it the easy way and then get spores from the kits flash. Anyway the mycelium has grown is it ok to put it on water?or I should just put it in the bag directly?Should I use regular water?

Pre-inoculated kits are available in certain areas of the EU (where shrooms aren't as heavily policed).
I think Holland allows the growth of shrooms for personal use but not commercial sale.
