White spots on krausen

I am doing an open fermentation in a Saison I am making. I have done several open fementations and never had this problem before. There are 2 white spots(about the size of a quarter) on the Krausen that are slowly getting larger. I am assuming that I have a bacterial infection but I'm not sure. Should I just scoop them out?

they are probably nothing. Post pics and we probably can tell you if you should worry or not.

Most likely CO2 bubbles congregrating at surface with yeast krausen. If they look furry, fuzzy, or wispy in nature then you might have an infection. You are probably fine, but as suggested above post some pics for us to take a look at!
