Green is no longer my favorite color

Experienced cultivators input and help welcome. Closet grow several shoeboxes close to full Colonization and ready for fruiting. I went and purchased some 6500k lights yesterday so I could induce fruiting conditions. I hadn't check my boxes for 2.5 days maybe( I've really been trying to leave them be) When I did my inspection the second box I opened had a well developed patch of trich, everything had been going so well I didn't even look before I popped the lid as soon as I realized it was contaminated I gently put the lid back removed from the ground and sealed it in a plastic bag duct taped it shut until it can be moved to my outdoor grow. Everything else appears at this point to look on. Two questions what is the likely hood that the entire grow is now contaminated? And secondly should I cut out the contams before putting this cake into my outdoor patch? Things have gone really well up to this point and being that I'm 35 days into this I worried and a little broken hearted by the loss. I have cleaned the grown area to the best of my ability and will be installing my lighting and such this afternoon in hopes that all is not lost! Recommendations and input on my situation would be greatly appreciated! As always thank you so much for all of your help and knowledge!
WHEN I WAS LITTLE I REALLY WANTED TO BE SOMEBODY TURNS OUT I AM !! THOUGH I'M STILL NOT QUITE SURE WHO?

Of course I'll be getting rid of the trich box my question was do I need to cut away the tech area before I place the rest of the cake in my outdoor patch I've already got a pretty mycelial network established and it's doing quite well I just don't know if it's imperative to remove the contaminated portion of the cake prior to putting in the garden? I'll do what I typically do and just use common sense which tells me to remove it. I just was hoping for some reinforcement with that decision from someone with more experience than I. Basically anyone with a successful grow under their belt qualifies! Lol Thi is my first grow. I do appreciate your response so thank you for taking the time.

Trich is fine outside. It's even added to some starter mixes and other garden stuff. It's fine to leave it be. Plus, you don't want to be breathing in those spores that you disturb. This might be relevant:

Well I was masked up when I cut it out and of course I did outside and away from my house. I laid a nice bed of old dry bamboo for drainage then a few inches of nice rich compost put the cake on it add another one inch of compost to the top and cased it with fresh grass clippings. Getting to be quite a bit of spawn in my little patch. Ive added a few quarts of perfectly healthy spawn plus all my contams so far. I kinda have a feeling when this thing flushes it going to be ridiculous! Hey one can hope right? The real question I have though Jon is what are the odds that the trich won't wipe me out. I know its airborne so I may have infected my whole grow right? Also I was reading that when the myc is fighting contams I will often produce excessive urea thereby creating a yellowish excretion. One the one side of one of my boxes I definitely see that nothing on the cake itself it actually looks pretty strong. But there is definitely urea in the box. What do I do about this other than keep an eye on it. BTW cracked all my lids and said let there be light today. So hopefully I'll see some pins in like a week or so right? Hey Jon I'm sure you are a busy guy just like the rest of us so I just wanted to personally thank for all you have done for me up to this point. You have extended yourself far above what anyone else has since I started this and It means a great deal to me. When I finally get some shrooms it would be my pleasure to send you some prints or something as a token of my appreciation! I sure you don't need them but the offer stands and it would make me feel good. No matter what THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME PATIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE!!
WHEN WE MAKE TIME FOR OTHERS ITS TELLS THEM THEY MATTER AND IT SHOWS A SAMPLE OF A MANS CHARACTER SOMETIMES A THOUGHTFUL WORD OR A FEW MINUTES OF OUR TIME IS ALL IT TAKES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

I'm always up for some more prints and you're most welcome. Thank you for your kind words.
As for Trich, I wouldn't lose sleep over the possibility of cross contamination. The stuff tends to be in the air all around us much of the time anyway. Concentrate on clean spawn and much of the worry about Trich and such is already less of an issue. You're right about metabolites as being something to be aware of, since they generally indicated that the mycelium is stressed in some way. It can be because of contamination, or it can be because of conditions, - too dry, too wet and such. So I'd say to keep an eye on surface conditions and make sure those are dialed in as much as they can be and let things ride. Light is mostly a directional cue for the mushrooms so doesn't tend to influence speed of pinning that much but it does benefit mycelium at pretty much all stages.
Other than that, just ensure that there isn't too much airflow and that things don't dry out and the rest is patience. You'll get there before you know it. And then the whole thing starts again lol. If I get a few spawn jars go sideways, or a tub that doesn't make it, I sometimes think that I'll never have another successful grow ever. It's all just bullshit self doubt and can be safely ignored, or laughed at.

I GOT PINS!!!!! YAHOO!! Wanted to share my news with you Jon. Since I introduced fresh air and light BAM!! PINS One of these fuckers looks like it's really got a nice pin set it seems to be a little ahead of the others but there's tons of primordia pretty much every box! I seem to have a pretty good handle on my surface conditions little beaded droplets across the surface. Think the yellowing was definitely metabolites shit showed up right when the other tub bought the farm with trich. It seems to have subsided kinda looks like it even disapated some.My only real struggle at this point is keeping my temp down looks like I'm going to have to start running the air even with the closet door open and a fan on low pointed in the direction of the closet from about 8 feet away and the temp hovers right near 78. It drops a little when the LEDs aren't on. Guess my cheap ass gonna have to bite the bullet and turn on the AC 😔😆. As always you are greatly appreciated and I will break out the SAB and do my very best work with those prints! DOIN BIG THINGS BIG THINGS!!!!
