purple/brown "powder" on mushrooms and inside bag - help

Hi guys
I am currently growing my second flush of Golden Teachers in a grow kit. This flush seems to be thriving better than the first - I think the FAE is better for them now, even though it is not optimal in the kit. I have just spotted some purple/brown powder in the substrate. It is also on the side of the plastic bag the kit is in, and on the bottom of the stems on the shrooms you can also see it. Does anyone know what it is? I tried googling it, and it does not seem to be a contamination.. Or is it? My first flush got pretty bruised due to poor FAE (sorry dear shrooms), and my shrooms had more or less the same color purple-ish inside of the stems, while this time it seems more like a powder of some kind which is laying on top of the white fur on the stems.
Can anyone help me?
Thank you thank you

In the future. Harvest your shrooms just before or just after the veil tears. Then you won't shoot spores all over your sub and other shrooms.

Haha okay, sorry, I did not know how spores looked like - i never saw any on the first flush and this is my first time growing mushrooms, so as a very new and green mother I can't help but worry a bit for my little baby shrooms 
I am very happy to know that everything is as it should be 
Thank you again

AMEN Bro! Like the third post i've seen on just the visual representation of spores.
But OP Looks like a nice flush 
**Edit** You said the first flush you did not see any spores. Good, you want to pick right before or directly after the veil breaks to preserve their potency completely. (My 2c and hundreds others)
