Normally, trich comes from below, since it's hard for fungi spores to germinate on vermiculite. I would suspect your spawn was contaminated. If you have several tubs that got hit, you have to toss them anyway, so you might take one outside and wash the verm off with a waterhose and see if indeed the trich was coming up from the substrate below, as I suspect.

Contrary to popular misconception, vermiculite does have nutrients that support fungi growth. In my experience it's hard for spores to germinate on it, but once they do, they'll take it over like any other bulk substrate material. Regardless, you need to get rid of contaminated substrates if growing indoors. Next time, be sure to bake the verm in the oven for an hour or so to kill off any mold spores. It's possible there were contaminant spores on the verm, and then it came into contact with grains, which made a hospitable place to germinate. RR
