You took the pic through the plastic and at a distance, therefore I can't really make much out of it. I'd say those dots looks like hyphal knots a.k.a. the beginning of mushrooms.
Take a closer pic without the plastic in between so we can see better and tell you. I can't quite figure out that pic tbh.

Why people go through the effort to post out of focus pictures and ask for help identifying, I'll never know. I'm thinking they're knots as well, though.

If you get fruits and they seem fine, dehydrate them with heat and they should be fine. I throw them if they're obviously gnarly.

I would do what verum said, but try a very small dose the first time.
Like a half-gram dried or 5 grams fr3esh. That way if the contam makes you sick, it won't make you very sick.

dont eat mushrooms with visible mold. like this
 or this

but shrooms grown off subs with mold? i wouldnt worry considering humans ate mushrooms off shit and decaying grass for thousands of years.
if you are worried about your fruits always boil them in a tea and strain the solids.

sounds right. I think shrooms are good at out-competing some living things.
I know when I look at a fresh shroomie under a microscope, like the pic I posted yesterday, I see shroom parts, even spores, but no wiggly germs.
I can take a drop of muddy water from most places and see little fellas squirming around.
Again, not eating moldy things makes sense.
Though there's a that the reason humans like fermented foods like yogurt, cheese, beer, is those were some of the foods you could eat before there were fridges.
Also the reason maybe that we like spices. Some spices kill germs and people who liked that spice food selected for reproduction.
Growing makes me more interested in learning about biology than I've been in over 40 years.
