Tub smells like ammonia. Is it contaminated?

Went to fan my tub this morning and was hit with a strong ammonia like smell. Does that mean my tub is contaminated? Its fully colonized, no pins or anything yet though. Substrate is coco coir and vermiculite. Strain is Golden Teachers.

Pics would help.

But a strong ammonia smell more than likely means something is going on. Hard to say without a picture to look at

Sour smells are not good. Any discoloration? Mushrooms really do smell particular, just like when its not right you can tell by the smell. I have seen more than a few contams and smelled more than a few bad projects. Do not toss if it does not look bad but keep it away from other stuff until you figure it out. Ammonia is a strong chemical reaction just like if a jar gets yeasty(My name for it). That reaction is not usually associated with mushrooms. I have only been at this for under a year but have seen all kinds of things that got fixed or identified.
