Very healthy Mycelium?...or contams?

I feel like there used to be a dedicated contamination section but I couldn't find it. If this is posted in the wrong place,juts let me know.
It's been awhile since I have had things going. The bags I made were beautiful. The colonization was very rhizomorpic,but there were white puff balls. Now they are getting bigger. Ive dealt with cobweb mold before and this isn't grey like I'm used to.(Except for the parts where the substrate is darkening it still)
This is such a noob question,but does this look healthy to you guys? It's all uniform and like this in every single bin.

There was a contam forum, but it was neglected so it was just merged here. Looks fine to me too

Yea lol... usually people want quality advice,and quicky. Since you can see how many people are currently viewing each category,its usually a better option to choose this one.
And good to know. This particular round is the most important I've ever done,for reasons I won't get into. So thank you for your affirmation. :P

***Update**** All the bins I made with coir and verm look like that. I'm anxious to see how they turn out but they seem much weaker in comparison to 2 others I did with the same spawn.
I did 2 with compost and straw that I oven pasteurized in a sealed pressure cooker.
I think the aeration from the straw is a big factor but am curious if you have any thoughts on why they look so completely different. Pics are below...

No because I used the bucket Tek. But it's been 10 days and there is no visible trich. Normally after this length of time it's no longer white. It's the "fluffy" aspect that makes me concerned. Normally that's a bad thing,but it always turns green fairly quickly

You should never bucket tek anything other than coir.. Poo and straw need proper pasteurization.
