Dark Green Specs in Myc Bag - Lots of Pinning Occuring Though..?

Hey Everyone!,
Quite a mix of emotions as the past 3 days I've seen my grow bag form some serious pins but also a possible contam. I'm curious what my options are as I can't seem to find many posts similar to mine on the forums.
I have quite a few pins which are growing very fast but as you can see from the pics below, there are some dark green spots/specs (~1-2mm in diameter) where i'm worried the myc got contaminated. They cover roughly 30% of the total myc cake.
Background info:
- I'm attempting to grow these invitro...I respectfully ask that you not comment saying I should have done BRF jars and how low my yields will be with invitro bags. I simply don't have the space or time for that...given my resources, bags are the best system for me.
- After this bag was 100% colognized, I waited 1 week then exposed it to a 6500K light for 2 days to try and induce pinning. Immediately after this, the "contam" formed then I threw it back in my closet. 3 days later, I noticed it start to pin. SO, it seems like I was successful with inducing the pinning but also brought up a contam...is this normal?
- Pins are growing all over the bag! Sides, bottom, top...very exciting =)
Questions:
1) Is this a contaminations and if so, is it safe to harvest my pins when the veils begin to break?
2) I've done some research where some say the contam will not transfer into the fruits...anyone care to chime in? It seems like every post I read on this, half say it's "deadly" (seems a bit extreme but what do I know) and half say they're perfectly safe to harvest.
3) My plan is to keep the bag in the closet...let the pins continue to grow until the veils break and then harvest. Then, remove from the bag, remove as much contam specs as possible, dunk for 24 hours and return to the bag...could anyone comment on this method I have laid out?
As always, thank you for the help everyone!
Best!

The funny thing is most wild mushrooms people pick come from contaminated substrate. However, some contaminants are not worth fucking with at all, especially trich. If you decide to keep that around, and do try to harvest from it I would do it way the hell away from any other projects you have. But seriously, not worth it.
I'll let someone else chime in on exactly what is going on in your bag, looks like it could possibly just be bruising.

Thank you for the reply! Through more research and pictures of trying to identify this I'm leaning toweards it being bruising...it's more of a blue than a green, which was my mistake. Additionally, since I've now stopped handling it much (so as to not disturb it and just let it do its thing) I haven't noticed any more of these blue/green specs appear...
If someone else could chime in that would be great. If it is Trich, are the fruits dangerous to harvest, dry then consume? Again, from the research I've done with this, many people are saying that the contam doesn't get spread to the fruits.
Thanks again everyone!

I mean Yea you can still fruit it to see what happens, but try to isolate to a different area if you have any other projects going on that don't need to be contaminated. Yes the fruits will still be edible/boilable, ect.. And yes it could be something else, but you will just have to give it a while and see what happens. But pins look nice. Peace

That's just bruising. That isn't a contamination. However it needs to get into fruiting or be spawned stat.. looks like it should have been a while ago...

Majicman and Madseaon - Huge thanks for the replys! Much appreciated for helping me through this, I do have it isolated so as to not contaminate anything else, but I'm very confident that it's just bruising now =)
Madseason - I'm growing these invitro...shouldn't I just continue to wait until I see the veils begin to break so I can harvest them? What exactly do you mean "it needs to get into fruiting"?
Thank you again everyone!

ALSO, as an update!
Tons of the shrooms are continuing to grow and look very healthy. I have one now about 2 inches and .5 inches in diameter. Then a few at around 1.5 inches and .5 inches in diameter.
They nearly double in size each day! Looking forward to harvest these babies soon <3

UPDATE!
Sorry guys, I wanted to update sooner but just finding the time now. The "specs" were in fact bruising and SWIM managed to get a 1.7g cracker dry out of the first flush.
Second flush is occurring now with exponentially more pins/shrooms developing! SOO excited to harvest this flush. I dunked for 24 hours in the fridge, patted it dry then put it on a 12/12 light cycle for 3 days. It's been sitting in my closet now for almost a week with TONs of shrooms developing. Additionally, I'm fanning and misting twice a day...can't tell if it's doing anything but I'm just trying to be proactive and get the biggest possible yields I can while still keeping the myc healthy! Ambient temperature is ~69-72 F fyi.
Let me know if anyone has any questions on growing in bags...I've ran in to a few useful tips/tricks!
Thanks again for the help, everyone!
