Are you positive that's what it is, I can't really see it. It has the powdery texture? Because cutting out a piece of mycelium would create a lot of bruising which can be green.
Cutting out mold can make things worse since the mold needs to reach the surface to sporulate and the holes create more surface area that's easier for it to reach. It can't also spread around mold mycelium fragments wgich is far worse than spreading mold spores.

Thanks for the response Kizzle. I think I made quite a grave error trying to "fix" the problem and I will learn from that.
There is no green as yet, just a very white white in a kind of uniform "spreading out" shape from where the removal was done. I would not say it looks "powdery" but it does look a fair bit like trich pictures I've seen. Saying that this "new" white patch looks less like trich than the patch I dug out before.
What would you say to the harvesting conundrum?

Just a out of curiosity. Did you cut the mushrooms at the base instead of just pulling them out ?
Not that it attracts trich but that's an invitation to bacteria. Basically they can rot and ruin the whole thing. It also delays subsequent flushes.
My two cents ...

Yes I always cut...I think the opposite to be honest. Pulling up chunks of substrate is more likely to lead to contam. I've never had a stump "rot" and I do not think it causes any delay to subsequent flushes - again, if anything, the opposite
