Mycelium 1 Contamination 0 ???

I am new to cultivation and have following situation, which I would love some input on. During last weeks inspection I saw a tiny tiny little pink/bright red spot on one of the rye grains in my spawn bag which was about 30% colonized. I looked it up and I found pictures of "lipstick" mold that look exactly like it. I wanted to toss it first but I was curious on what would happen over time (how the mold would grow, smell, etc.) so I placed the bag in a different area and let it continue to grow. Now, a few days later, I saw that the mycelium grew over the tiny pink spot, I gave that area a light squeeze and couldn't see any colors. But I noticed that the mycelium started to produce a lot of metabolites. What does that mean? Did the mycelium fought the mold and won? Is that a possibility? I know I probably should just be patient and see what's going to happen but the quarantined me wants answers!

I would’ve tossed it by now, but that’s me. IDC about grains vs introducing contams to my house.
Let it grow, if you’re willing to go that far, then spawn to bulk. Just make sure to keep doing what you’re doing and keeping it isolated from your other grows. It’ll show way quicker and more prevalent than the mycelium if it is a contam.

Bust it up and shake it good you’ll find out pretty quick who’s winning.

alright. so I shook the bag and it recolonized pretty fast. I would guess the bag will be 100% beginning of next week. I haven't seen any more metabolites after shaking. No smell through the filter batch. What can/ should I except when mixing it with substrate? Is the bacteria going to take over as soon as it touches the substrate? In case it does fruit, are the shrooms good to go or is consume not recommended due to the contamination?

It's mold if it is red. That's pink mold, some of it is the normal shit in a dirty bathroom and some of it can produce toxins. I think that is what both people above were pointing to.
