First pins!! & Contam Advice [Updated]

Hello all, my noob self attempted a GH fruiting chamber as my first FC and failed terribly I had a coir/verm tray that was in there for a week maybe more which I turned into a mini dub tub to try fruiting it like that, it's had a rough time. But it worked and I have a good amount of pins forming. Very exciting to my noob self, thank you shroomery community for if it was not for you I would not have gotten this far.
As I said the tray has been through a lot, wasn't put in optimal fruiting conditions at first, then as mini dub tub. On the bottom of the tray I have noticed a pool of greenish water which worries me a bit because I'm not sure if it's a Contam or not. Here are pictures
If anyone could offer some insight or knowledge the help would be appreciated

You definitely got some bacteria going on in there but it looks like you've already done all you can to recover a decent flush. Only thing I could suggest, if you want to go for a second is to find a way to gently rinse away the green water and gently wash the sides / bottom.
However since the mushrooms are in the middle of fruiting you should wait to do that until they finish which is only gonna make it sit in that shitty water longer.
Just let it go, get what you can and start a new project right away.
Nice save op.

I would try to hydrate the coir if I were using the stuff. Looks like you have plenty of pins starting and that is why I suggest that the coir needs more water before you add whatever it is you add. I can see plenty of what appear to be nice pins , but , when I have any pins at all they are in the hundreds if they are at all there. Normally. But , I use horse dung as a base . I find that there are tons of horses asses all over the place and as a result , I find tons and tons of the stuff for free. So , side pins mean there is enough water and a humid enough climate where they are popping up , but , not enough to support more than that , so , more water and maybe more closed system to keep humidity up. Just an idea.

Thank you for the response! The fruits are still going to be safe to eat? Also there are pins growing in the bacterial water, even if they look okay will they safe to eat? As far as other projects I have 2 other mini dub tubs in fruiting, about to put another in fruiting, have a separate one colonizing after spawning WBS, it’s not my only basket of eggs but of course I’d rather fruit every lil guy that I can.

There are slightly more pins on the top of substrate compared to when picture was taken but I agree, nothing like I’ve seen. I believe my mistake was when initially made into a dub tub, I made a couple holes and used microcode tape, too much FAE which dried it out, it was like this until I discovered a post about a guy explaining that there are no need for any fae holes with mini dub tubs due to lack of imperfect fitting on top of each other. 2 others are in fruiting and I did not make any fae holes with those, curious to see a difference...

They will be safe to eat if you get them completely dry. Especially if you use a dehydrator with heat.
Though when I have a bacterial batch I prefer to make tea. Anytime I think theres contamination I use some form of heat to either dry them or prepare the trip.
Lord knows plenty of people have eaten grosser shrooms though.

Sweet good know. I was just going to let them dry naturally/fan although since I plan on going the bulk path it would be a good idea to invest in one. Making tea makes sense, as the boiling would sterilize
