Forest green surface mold?

Ive seen this once before on peat, its a forest green mold that starts off in tiny green pin pricks all over the very surface of a casing layer. Its so much on the surface that it looks you yoi can just pick it off. I cant get a good photo of it yet. Has anyone else seen this? Any ideas what it is? It doesn't start if white like trich.
Thanks!

If you click on this picture and look close you might be able to see it

Where am I now, Contam forum??
Its more prominent this morning, and definitly forest green. It definitly started on the surface of the coir, not coming up through the casing like trich does.
Its not acting like trich, its like little green dots all over the place on the very surface that were way hard to see at first and are now finally green.
I isolated the tub. I wanna see what it does before I dump it.
This coir, was originally bucket tek. But it was sitting in the bottom of the bucket with lots of water I had to squeeze out, I just ran it through a PC cycle and sterilized it.

It looks like it but doesn't act like it!
Maybe it started on the coir and not the spawn/substrate? I feel like I could just scrape it off the surface
Weird! Yea ill see what he says
Ive seen it once before (I wanna go into the speech from JAWS) on a peat casing, it started on the surface instead of growing up through the casing. Identical to this. I picked off the very top layer outside befire i tossed it a nd it wasn't coming up through

Hard to say without a decent pic. Based on your description though it may be Aspergillus.

I looked up some photos, the color is right in a few pitre dishes. I will put up a new photo for you because its morr prominent now.
What do you know about those types of mold? The last PE tub I have going looks like it *might* get it but I think the myc might be quicker and colonize through the casing first.
Do you have any thoughts on why it would start growing on the surface of coir? Is it because it was sterilized over pasteurized?
Thx for lookimg at it man

So I put this tub on the porch until i can dump it. I went out to take a photo and it seems most of the green dissapeardd, or froze or just didn't like the cold. Sorry fir the typos I cant turn auto correct on my phone off, its always off. I took a photo of the only real patch of it, the rest looks like green speckles all over the surface. It attacked the patch of myc here it seems.
It strange that it starts on the surface instead of growing up through the casing.
Think its dangerous to breath?

Ok so the other PE tub has it. Its been im fruiting for a few days, when i fruited it the casing was at maybe 15-20% colonized and now its maybe 95. Pe takes forever to pin.
All I see is a couple *tiny* and I do mean tiny green speckles. It seems to be fighting it off. Except see the yellow around it? The myc is struggling a little where its showed up.
Thoughts? Lost cause or should I give it a few days, Im rooting for it

You might get something out of it yet. If it's Trich it doesn't get bad until it manages to grow into the spawn.
The other green mold aren't quite so aggressive. They reduce yields on bulk substrate but usually not completely.
