Is my cultivation screwed?

Hi All,
I am a self-confessed noob at this, trying to grow some golden teachers as a treatment for PTSD I've had for years after suffering a traumatic injury.
Unfortunately, you're probably going to laugh about how I've managed to get loads of different contaminants, but I've noticed a lot of discolouration and what I think is cobweb mold on the substrate.
I'm wondering if anyone more used to doing this than me could tell me if I need to throw this picture away?
I would really appreciate any help!
Thank you!

Thank you Coastal,
It's ok, I was growing it in an outhouse, which makes sense as to why it got contaminated.
I've binned it, so will rely on some truffles I got off the internet instead.
Isn't life grand!

From the even distribution I could guess it was already in your spawn. Sorry friend, if you have spore syringes I recommend you make a still air box (SAB) and make a number of PF TEK jars. At the same time make or buy some agar plates and put drops on spore solution. While the PF jars grow you can watch the spores grow on agar and transfer away from contaminants until you have 100% trustworthy clean mycelium to put onto grains. By the time you harvest your PF cakes you can have squeaky clean agar colonizing grain master jars along with some medicine to hold you over.
Hope this helps, good luck!

No shame in getting contaminated-- just read up as much as you can here-- some legendary people around here, and genuinely great people to show you the way

Thank you to both of you for helping!
It's my first time, so I know I've got a lot to learn.
I already have!
Thankfully, it's not too expensive if you make a mistake huh.

Yeah actually the greenhouse isnt a reason or expanation for contam at all. If you do the method corretctly and maybe dont do the SAB transfer work in the greenhouse yo should be fine fruiting there

My advice is the same as Rapjacks-- Go to this thread: (Link Fixed!!-- thanks redhandmat) Getting Started, Up To Date TEKs, Trusted Cultivator links
READ IT ALL.
You will be rocking mushrooms before summer's over.

Something wrong with your link, so I relinked it here for OP to find:
Getting Started, Up To Date TEKs, Trusted Cultivator links
And OP dont despair, I would strongly strongly recommend going syringe/print to Agar, clean/transfer on agar until you get a clean plate, PC any grain jars for 90 minutes @ 15 PSI, drop agar to grain, let it grow, spawn to coir, get mushrooms, eat mushrooms and work on your PTSD. You can do it!

Trolls will need to walk a fine line around these parts. But this has some OTD potential.

You should clone one of the truffles and then grow your own, they’re probably the easiest method ever since you don’t have to fruit them.
