green mold, plz help!

I have a problem, I have some crumbled south African cakes that I crumbled into a baking pan and put some foil over it when i mixed with a wormcastings,soil, and manure mix. it started colonizing the top casing layer so I placed it in my perlite FC. I am getting patches of green mold, which I think is trich.
What should I do to get rid of this? I haven't started getting a pinset yet and would be devistated to get rid of a whole baking pan of colonized substrate.
Here is a close up of what I am dealing with.

whats it look like and what are my chances for survival?
Also I have a south african cake that has been in the FC for a while and hasn't pinned yet, it has been growing myc all over it so I suspect that it just wasn't fully colonized when I put it in the FC. Should i be worried that this cake is in the same FC as the green mold baking pan?

Toss it, or at least remove it from the FC so it doesn't contam the cake (I think that can happen?)

damn, really i got to trash it?
What do you think will happen if I just let it go for a while, or even try to scoop out all the green parts?

Why on earth would you use soil? Trich is purposly added to some soil to help with rooting. Soil is not to be used for mushroom cultivation. If I were you I would toss those nasty things before you infect your carpet, or your lungs. And dont use soil anymore.

no well its a casing mix that I got off ebay. I did a small ziplock container one and i had no problems with it.
lemme find the thread,
Here It is
I guess i just can't make it work on this large of a scale.
That sucks I am glad I only used one cake for this.

It's probably the cake that was contaminated anyway. Toss out projects with green immediately. RR
