Mycelium beats contamination? (pics)

Few of my WBS jars got something that looked like contamination. On some parts, the mycelium didnt colonize WBS that got all sticky and wet on these locations. After removing the "contaminated" jars from my incubator, i placed them in a empty closet in my lab (the temperature in the closet was about 10°C lower than in the incubator) because i didnt have any time to get rid of these jars. Later i forgot about them, and now, about a week later, i went to clean the jars and found a surprise. In each jar (that looked like contaminated), the mycelium grew furthermore. One of the jars got 100% colonized, and the other have a little more to go...
The green marked spot colonized after leaving the jar in the closet.
This one is also almost 100% colonized. This orange stuff appeared after the mycelium colonized that part, so i assume it is mycelium piss ?
What do you think about this? Are these jars ok to case? ... btw the strain is cambodian
ps. During colonization, i couldn't shake the WBS because i poured a little too much of it in each jar. But i think crumbling (in a bag) should solve the problem... (?)

If I was going to case it I would put it in a different FC if possible just in case...

The stuff on the right is contam for sure. The myc doesn't really "win", it can grow OVER the contam- making it looking like there is a victory, but just to be exposed again during the crumbling.

(wish I had my camera) Thats exactly what happens to my PF jars (3 times so far). I dont think the myc won, and if u let them sit longer, ull see what the contam does, sorta pollutes large areas and pwns mycellium. I assure you thta the center of ur jar is worse than the outside too. Prolly all orange/rusty in there instead of whiteness

Dunno... Maybe ill store these jars, and case them after my healthy casing trays finish fruiting... But then again, i would risk my working area if the trays would get contaminated... hmmm

Wish the climate was right for an outdoor grow here about now...
Good luck with those jars man. I would trash them in the outdoors and then soak in a bit of bleach, though.

plus even if you do get fruits you don't want to run the risk of eating something full of yucky bacteria

Myc doesn't BEAT contams. It over-runs them...sometimes. However, odds are HIGH Contam spores are alive & well (in the mix). Which only POP OUT, after you spawn it to a substrate

I'd worry a whole lot more about the bottom of the jar that isn't colonized due to being too wet, then about the grains that are pressed up against the glass and showing through. I don't see any contamination except perhaps bacteria from the anaerobic conditions in the overstuffed jar. RR

@ rogerrabbit - the bottom is also colonized, but the kernels are pressed up against the glass, so it looks uncolonized...

The white growth appears to be the mycelium of a fast growing mould. Was the colonization of the jar unusally rapid? Was the culture clean?
