B+ Contam? Green Mold, what to do with it

I'm working on my first grow, just for a little background: I used jars of natural brown rice to colonize the B+ at 86 degrees. Then transfered one jar each to round foil pans. The substrate is a mix of peat moss, perlite, and lime. I started to get a little green coloring on my casings. The pic shows the green decently.
Does this grow from the inside out? or outside in? I read as much as I could about contams, and am not exactly sure what to do with the tray. Its in its own tub, so it shouldnt affect my other tray. What is my best course of action?

Peat moss, perlite and lime are CASING materials; not substrate.
That looks green. Green is definitely . Looks like that is growing from underneath the casing but either way doesn't matter. It's still a goner if it is infact green and you'll know soon because the green will develop a lot more color in a short period of time. I would toss that tray out.

Ouch- thats about 90~ in the middle of your jars and trays. I can tell you thats a BIG factor with mold.
Unless your house is freaking freezeing don't inccubate.

what to do with it
Cook up some LCs (more than one because mold). Take one of the mushrooms and soak it in some h202 for a bit- transfer a small core peice to each LC and give it some time. I got two mushrooms off my first grow before the green came in and this worked great for me.

Agreed, the fruits are fine, but you need to bury that tray in a shady spot outside. Mix it into some horse or cow manure outside and it will probably recover and fruit if temps are above freezing in your area. Get it outside now though. If that is first flush, the mold came from within. It's probably from too high an incubation temperature which slows down mushroom mycelium and speeds up molds. RR

Alright, thanks for the info guys. I went and buried the two trays outside in some decent soil. Hopefully mother nature can straighten that one out. I'll have to be sure to not incubate my next trays once I case them...
