First grow, Black dust, Spores? Mold?
Everything was fine yesterday, had some veils break overnight, and I just want to understand what I'm looking at.

Spores
Phew, I was working myself up over potentially having to restart. Thanks muchly.
Might still have too buddy. Spores can lead to contamination. Hope you're good though.
What kind of contamination? Should I attempt to wipe up the spores?
Any. The spores contain nutrients so they can initiate germination before thetmyc is able to fend for itself. It's not much, but it's enough for other molds/bacteria/fungus to feed on and get a hold on your sub.
Wipe up what you can off the tub, but try to avoid disturbing the cakes. May only increase risk. Shock and stress and all that. When you're due to dunk those cakes you should be able to clean it off whilst dunking, otherwise you can mostly just cross your fingers.
