Not sure if I'm facing the beginning stages of Trichoderma?

Hi Everyone!
I am really happy with the state of my current grow of cubensis but I fear that I may have a small spot of trich. (I may be paranoid, but paranoia is important in this game I feel)
This is my substrate from afar:

The following picture is from a small section which seems to have two spots with slightly different character than the mycelium surrounding it:

With flash it is slightly more apparent:

I don't want to panic prematurely but I would rather get on top of it as soon as possible if it is likely trichoderma. This brings me to my second question...
If it is what I dread, is there anything that can be done to surgically remove these small spots with a good chance of it not spreading?

If it is trich then what you are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg and I doubt you could save it. But I don't think it is, sometimes mycelium just does weird stuff. Give it a day and if it doesn't turn green its probably fine.

I can't see anything that immediately identifies it as trich... maybe I just don't know exactly what spots you're talking about. If it's the big puffy spots, then no that's not trich.
Trich looks more like dropping snow... more "dusty"? Here, maybe a picture will help:

Also for me, the mycelium bruises blue around where the trich is coming up every time.

I was indeed talking about the puffier spots. Thank you for your response! So you find that the mycelium bruises slightly and there's a dusty appearance even before sporulation of the trichoderma?

Yeah trich will be fairly obvious once you see it. Very white at first like a little snow fall onto yo tub.
Sometimes you can hold it off for a while but it takes drastic measures 
You can see it still came back but I bought enough time for the slow mutants to grow.
