I'm curious as to what this may be.  I was originally thinking it was bacterial but after doing some research I'm uncertain if it's bacterial or fungal.

Looks like a big bag of bacteria. Not sure what all that black soil
looking stuff is either that's filling the bag.

It could be that also. Some bacteria can have a pink color too.

I originally thought it was sour rot but I'm not 100% anymore.  It looked yellow/grey at first, it was only recently that I noticed the color had changed in a few spots to that red/purple color.  After doing some research, I figured that since everything is covered in bacteria and spores anyway, that the contamination most likely wouldn't pose a significant threat to my own health.  After dumping it in a forest I did some further research and realized that the pink/purple coloration could be caused by a grain favoring bacteria or fungi that causes meningitis.  I have put myself into a panic haha.  I did sanitize after dumping but not meningitis level sanitation.  Any words of wisdom?  I'm assuming I'm just being overly paranoid.

You were probably vaccinated as a kid against meningitis I think
but I can't remember what all those included and covered

True, that's reassuring.  If you don't mind me asking, how do you usually get rid of contams?

With a throwing motion out deep back by the woods.

That's a broad question with a lot of answers and variables.
Basically from the start...spores aren't sterile that you buy.
It's just in their nature from being grown in open air.

So if you inject them into brf jars for cakes or onto grains
it's always going to be a dice roll on contamination.

That's where agar comes in. The spores can be germinated on
agar and you can identify the clean mycelium easily and cut
a tiny piece of it and transfer it to another agar plate to
see if it grows clean then...and over and over until perfect.

Agar cuttings can then be tossed into grains, and grown clean.
Grain jars have to have good lid setups like the polyfill lids
people make or my personal favorite, synthetic filter disks.

All of this stuff takes practice, there's even a little more art
to it than just skill in a way. You have to have the right tools.
Still air boxs(SAB) are ok but aren't perfect and can still have
a small dice roll for contamination. Flowhoods are expensive but
are almost practically perfect to work in front of.

Look through the Everything you need to know link 👇
I personally wouldn't even bother with cakes but they're
cheap and easy to make and try but they use spore solution
so they contaminate a lot. But if one cake grows a fruit
it can be cloned to agar with a piece of sterile flesh
from the center of a stem to make a clean culture.

Reading, studying, practice, the right tools = no contams
Or I misunderstood the question and then the answer is yeah..throw them out

Got it, thank you.  I'll keep all of that in mind for my next grow.
