What's this in my monotub? Trich? Mold? I'm colorblind and lost..! (pics)

Followed Frank's WBS Prep tek and TranscendingLife's One Flush Wonder Monotub tek. I used Damion5050's coir tek for the substrate but forgot to add the gypsum. Spawned 9 quarts of fully-colonized WBS on 11/6. Everything was going splendidly and colonization was fast until I spotted these two spots today (11/13) which, to my untrained colorblind eyes, can't be anything good.



What's the contamination and how should I proceed?
If it's contaminated, dumping the tub outside isn't a great option for where I live. My thoughts are to place the entire tub into a heavy-duty garbage bag and dumb everything in there. Good idea? Bad idea? Once dumped, can I rinse the tub out and continue to use it or do I need to start fresh with new everything?
This is my first contamination issue and I'm stumped. Would love some helpful comments. Many thanks in advance.
Also, since this is my first post, just wanted to say I've learned tons from this forum and have had great (and nearly flawless) success thus far. Many thanks to the crazy detail you guys put into your teks and for all the helpful follow-up comments.

Wait for a tc to comment but until then don't panic and dump! I see a yellow tint in the myc there wich could just be some matabolites.
If those spots colonize over in the next day your still ok.
Bacteria in your sub can be beaten by mushy myc and metabolites can be a by product of myc stress.. Like its fighting an infection
If you have multiple tubs in the same area it wouldn't hurt to move this one somewhere else.
-------------------- Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

I haven't dumped yet but I have moved the tub out of the main area and was planning to give them a few more days to see what develops.
I keep debating whether one of the jars was the culprit but I gave them a good sniff and all smelled shroomy. A little on the sweet side perhaps but all the same.
