Advice Needed on How to Proceed with Contaminated Tubs

Hi Guys, I have a couple of tubs, the first without a liner, the second with. The first definitely has trich, and I think the second one probably does also but would like confirmation and advice on how to proceed with both. This is the first flush for the 1st tub, and the second tub hasn't flushed yet.
This pic shows the top of the first tub, you can make out some specs of green in the bottom right.

View from the side shows that the trich is pretty established and the mycelium I want hasn't managed to gain a foothold in this area.

This is the second tub and you can see the top mycellium is more of a grey colour to the bottom. There is more of this grey stuff around the rest of the tub. I'm thinking this is trich before you get the green spors?

What should I do with these tubs? I would have to take a serious chunk out the first tub to get out this trich which I'm happy to do, but should I wait until I harvest the first flush or do now? Once I've cut it out, should I bury the whole thing in some dirt / barkchip somewhere?
How about the second tub.. keep an eye on it for now? Bury it?
I started out on agar and after about three agar transfers stuck it on rye grain, then spawned to a bulk of around 50/50 coco coir / verm with some gypsum in it.
Thanks in advance.

Cutting the trich out doesn't work. It will show up elsewhere hours or maximum a couple of days later. Move it away from other tubs, let the mushrooms mature as much as they can before the trich takes over too much, pick them and toss the tub. Second tub i can't see a contam in the picture. If it's wispy grey stuff that's cobweb, and will grow fast and cover your tub in a couple of days and smell weird. It can also be just wispy cube myc. Keep an eye on the tub, toss it if you find out it is cobweb.
Edit: btw I can't really see trich in the first pic either. But you'll know in a couple of days, if it's trich it turns green.

Cutting trich out makes it spread more. You could let the one with trich finish outside if that is an option for you.

Thanks for the super quick response and advice guys, particularly about not cutting out Trich.
I have re-attached a close up of the first tub, there is definitely green there!

I will separate the 1st tub as best I can but imagine getting covered in trich spors when I come to harvest. Should I therefore wipe my hands with IPA before handling the other tubs, particularly when harvesting? I will bury after first flush harvest as directed.
Oh! One more question, you can see in the first pic of the OP one of the mushrooms is considerably bigger than the others. Should I pick this one just before the veil breaks, and then wait for the rest to get to size before picking them? Or should I just let the the veil break and the others to catch up and harvest all of them together?

Harvest the trich tub outside/in a different room than you other tub. Toss the sub after harvest. Change clothes and wash hands/shower etc before handling the other tub. Trich spores are everywhere anyway, but no reason to bring even more of them to your uncontaminated tub.
