First timer - green problem

Hello everyone, I just started cultivating my first growbox (I had an attempt before years ago, using spore print and making it all myself but it ended up not that well sadly, so after many years I decided to start from a growbox this time) and it went really well, after 2 weeks pins started to show up and week later I have pretty shrooms growing. But I noticed something that worries me, and it's of green colour. I checked the contamination articles and searched the web but nothing comes close to what I observe there. Here are the photos - I retouched them a bit as they were a bit blurry, to get that green pop up more - but I think that's a pretty close colour to what it looks in reality.

So there seem to be 2 cases: 1) Greenish tint on some stems, that seems like bruising but I'm not sure what would have bruised them. Also you can see there is greenish colour inside the bigger chunk of mycelium that's attached to the wall of the box so we can see "inside" of it.
2) There are many very small and grainy greenish dots underneath the box and on the sides, some are bigger, but there seem to be more of very tiny green dotties scattered all around. I swear these were not there yesterday when I took it out to spray some water, and the green on the stems was also not there yesterday.
This looks a bit different than the molds I've seen on contamination examples, but maybe it's a start of something bad? I'm sure you get tons of questions like this here so bear with me please, I checked what I could and the photos I've seen did not give me definitive answer on what this could be. I'll keep observing this but meanwhile I thought I'd post them here in case someone knows straight away what it looks like?
PS. The photos were made through the bag walls so that's why they're a bit blurry and seem very "moist". I didn't want to take it from the bag just to make photos but if more detailed are needed I will do this 
Thanks!

It looks mostly like blue bruising but you should wait for a more experienced cultivator to chime in.

Thanks! Yeah I thought so too - just not sure about what might have caused it on the stems really. The one at the borders with the box could be actually the whole cake breaking off the wall somehow after moving it around slightly.
I take the box out from the place where it stays for most of the time for spraying so some movement might have happened there. Not 100% sure...
