The small orange pins. Just found a few places, but im sure i missed a bunch. I dumped the whole plant in a dr zymes wash. Was that enough? Do i have to toss this plant?

I wouldn’t want it and the spores in my grow area period

Well yes, but they were already in the tent... there are 4 others in the tent at the moment. I'm hoping that the bud wash deactivated any of the spores on the plant. Will have to just cross my fingers about the rest.
 
Update: I was worried that i didn't fully get the spores so about 6 hours later I rewashed everything in a heavier hydrogen peroxide solution. Boy am I glad I did that. The color of that water was a nasty brackish brown! I have a merv 8 filter on my intake, so I don't even know where all that gunk came from.

Suffice to say I have been checking the inside of the large nugs for a couple of days now and haven't seen a single spore. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

You can see spores with the naked eye!?

I mean, I'm no expert on mycology and probably have the wrong term.... fruiting body? The little pindrop balls shownunder 50x magnification in the photo above could be seen with the naked eye, yes.

I would call them fruiting bodies, the spores are literally microscopic and there are zillions of them on each pin head.

I had a few bits of orange/yellow mold on a crop last year that looked like the pic from the OP, I think it was some kind of aspergillus. Anyway I threw it out everywhere I saw it but man was it a pain to pick through, glad it was only on one plant. Definitely different from the typical botrytis which looks more like a grey cloud...

Yeah, this was 100% not botrytis. Im thinking that the dual citric acid and hydrogen peroxide washes took care of it.

I've been closely inspecting the other plants in the tent and they are all clear. This one plant was just giving me issues left and right.
