Bright green contam, any ideas?

Hey guys, Having a bit of bright green growth on a couple colonizing bins. Bulk substrate is hpoo and coco, pasteurized. Spawn is wild bird seed. About 2.5 weeks in. It's a very bright green color; which I haven't seen in any trich examples. Would love to get an idea so I can correct environmental conditions, etc.. I have a couple 95% colonized bins with 1-2mm modules of this. Would you scalpel out and let em ride, or toss? Any ideas? Thanks!

dude you gotta burn your house down now.
Looks like bad pasteurization to get these colors. No way you were that blind to spawn such bad looking jars I'm sure. I don't think this kind of tidal wave could slide in from spawn unless you just down't know what good spawn looks like.

Never...ever...try and cut out contams. That doesnt work.

Probably from bad pasteurization honestly.
I second aspergillus flavus.
Try going with coir and verm next time and ditch the hpoo. More trouble than it's worth for a beginner

I've taken the bin outside and taken a couple samples. So weird! It looks like algae. It's not propagating through the substrate like a mold, but I'll still toss. Will try and be more discipline about pasteurization, then. Below are photos of the samples.

Ok so I didnt blow up the pics last time, that definitely isnt flavus, looks more like a competitor slime mold.
100% from bad pasteurization. Not a super common contam and pretty rare to see it in spawn jars and not know it's there

Whew! I was scared of all these experienced users, with their thousands of posts and decades of experience, telling me my stuff was no good! So glad to have your support, dear brand-new account. I knew I could depend on you!
On a serious note, I'm starting to believe it's lichen:

But we all know you can trust uncle ben.
Anyway, that is kinda beautiful and likely has a value.
