Small yellow spot on crumbled cake spawned to coir

Cake was spawned 3 days ago. The cake and coir were mixed in a tray, substrate is about 3-4" deep. After the first day the myc was becoming fluffy and then after another day it was taking off and colonizing the coir.
Today I see a lot of rhizomorphic growth (the tray is transparent) but what is worrying me is a yellow spot I see against the side of the tray. It's very small but it's yellow, not brownish like the metabolite secretions mycelium gives off usually is.
The tray has been at 79-81F in darkness the whole time. It is covered by aluminium foil w/ holes on it covered by durapore tape. The sides of the tray have had condensation on them since I put the foil on.
Should I take off the foil and wipe the sides of the tray w/ alcohol after removing the small yellow spot? The myc looks pretty healthy except for that one spot.

My first grow. Thanks all.

it may be metabolites yet...
i would consider the fact that the substrate is colonizing normal and healthy more an indicator that things are fine, and assume its probably not a problem... especially if the spot isn't growing itself. if you can carefully chop it off, you may want to do so, but i wouldn't go wiping the sides of the tray with alcohol - even if it is a contaminate, any trace amounts left probably won't stand up to the mycelium's natural defenses (but alcohol on the other hand will kill your mycelium where it comes in contact.)

My first casing - I thought for sure was contamed when yellowish (almost looked like yellow mucus) slime appeared in a spotted pattern. A few days later - those spots all turned into pins.
