Too full, also too wet.

Was that patch colonized, then turned that color? Or it turned color without colonization (but not from cooking)?
Either way, doesn't look good, sorry.

honestly im not EXACTLY sure if it happened before or after colonzation, but it definetly didn't happen from the cooking, but i also have a few other jars and actually one of the HALF PINT jars still isn't showing any myc and some of those are turning orange too... and the jars aren't that wet actually, thats more of the flashing gleaming off the glass. the moisture is def, ok

Really? There aren't drops of standing water in that jar? Weird.

As for the orange: if it grows and it's not white, it's not cubensis mycelium.
Popcorn is a much bigger grain, you should PC it longer than you do rye or WBS. Or just use rye or WBS.

yea i knew it looked like water in the pic, i tried to take anothe rone without flash and it came out too dark, so i had to use this one...

and the orange isn't an actual "growth" its more of a discoloration to the popcorn

ANYBODY ELSE??

Like Doc said: too full and probably too wet. You are supposed to leave some room inside the jar. Anyway finding the right water content with popcorn is no easy task IMO.

i agree with it being too full, but as i said before there is actually no standing water in the jar, the light from the flash is reflecting off the jar and its making that appearance...

also would the jar being too full cause a problem like this?

and is this a contam? im sure im not gonna risk it but i still wanna hear other opinions

It can be a contributing factor.

You might want to post pics over in the Contamination forum, see if you get a better answer.
And you might try sunlight instead of flash- if you can get the jars outside or near a bright window, it's possible you'll get better pics.
