Is this contaminated?

I am growing two cubensis casings. Today it's been four days since they've been in the fruiting chamber. Yesterday, I noticed a peculiar formation in one of these casings. At first, it looked like an orverlay-like formation, but today, some green drop-like spots appeared. trichoderma maybe?
As soon as I noticed this, I isolated these two casings in another fruiting chamber. If it's just overlay, can I return them to my main fruiting chamber, since the replacement doesn't have a heating and ventilation system? I'm sending some photos, please help me identify if this cultive is problematic.

Quite sure your myc doesn´t look happy due to that system. What´s that system made of? Can´t see green or contam there.

My secondary fruiting chamber has perlite, six holes capped with perlon. The temperature inside stays at 22 degrees Celsius and the humidity stays . It is very similar to my primary fruiting chamber, with the exception of a heater, ultrasonic humidifier, oxygen pump and CO2 exhaust. The small green spots can be seen in the second image, marked in red.

Ah now i see. But that´s hard to judge, may be the start of something. Just inspect it carefully, if it expands you´ll know.
You already have some grows under your belt? I really can´t advise to grow cubes martha style. They hate automation and it´s continuous tweaking to see good results.

I'll see how this evolves in the next few days, if there is any change, I'll come back here to report. This is my second cultivation. In the first one, one of the casings presented trichoderma, but this time it is different. The first time, it started with a light green dot that radiated, contaminating the entire surface, this time, there are several dark green dots, it doesn't look like the tricoderma I saw in the first cultivation My system is not completely automated, I always keep an eye on it to see if everything is ok, so I use these systems just to make sure the mycelium is under optimal fruiting conditions.

Is this Trich? I am going to toss it if so, but I am wondering two things. If it is Trich it doesn't seem ummm, fully established so how many spores if any has it produced at this point? Also, should I toss the larger tub this tub was located in or am I fine with just keeping the large tub after I wash it?
I am planning on taking this out and burying it after I harvest the mushrooms. And I'm harvesting them outside.

Yeah, that´s definitely mid-stage trich. It will sporulate green soon. You do good with burying and harvesting outside. But no need to throw anything away. Good cleaning is enough.

My area is far too wet to bury this thing and hope for anything to grow. I am thinking of letting it grow in the tub outside, and maybe salting over where I see Trich, PLUS leave it up because I've heard Trich doesn't like Sunlight. The best pinsets are on the bottom of the tub anyways it was fully colonized on the bottom. Not so on the top, I was very impatient with this grow. I've learned my lesson. So, basically what all can I do to minimize trich taking this tub over while it's sitting outside?

Lol trich loves sunlight, it's never stopped my triched out tubs,left outside to be washed, from developing into trich bombs.
Hell I've left tubs with trich outside due to laziness and that shit started looking like the surface of some mold planet orbiting the 3rd moon of Saturn.
