First grow. Please take a look and at possible contamination

I am worried about possible contamination. I thought everything was going great. Have temp between. 72 and 78 degrees with 75-90% humidity. Every step was taken for a sterile environment
I noticed a small green/ blue dot and noticed some tanish growth in another area. If anyone could ease my mind or shed light on this situation it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Y1st pic looks like some kinda mold(the yellowish dusts)
Whats your substrate? Looks like cow manure. You shoulda went for plain coco coir

That's mold in the first pic for sure. Coco coir works great on its own as both bulk sub and a top layer.

I like pasteurized straw with oyster shell flour topped with pasteurized sphagnum, vermiculite, and oyster shell flour.

If you pay attention to pasteurization temps and keep your core temp around 140F to 160F for a couple hours you should be fine with most substrates. Straw, poo, coir, shredded corn stalk, hemp, whatever... You'll tend to see green stuff if you over heat your sub and you'll see other molds and bacteria if you don't heat it up enough.

Get a candy thermometer and monitor that sub temp as you cook it.

Definitely get rid of the moldy ones. No need to go nuts with the sanitizing spray. Just a good wipe down of your chamber should be sufficient. Good luck.
