Are my Allen jars contaminated?

Hello, I recently began my second set of jars (PF tek style) with the Allen strain. I steam sterilized 8 jars for about 75 minutes. I then let them cool, and innoculated them the next day on a sink in a bathroom. Beforehand I sprayed the area down non-stop with Lysol. I also used an alcohol flame in between each jar to sterilize the syringe. I noticed some condensation on the top of the jars, underneath the actual foil. I innoculated about 5 days ago. As I've only grown once before (EQ), I have only that to compare this too, and I remember the mycelium as being a very bright white. This seems to look a bit "muddy" almost like cobweb (especially the last two pictures). Any input would be appreciated

What do you mean by this, are you actually opening the jars ? BTW, if you're not using ruber bands to secure the foil, do it. Adhesive tape will also work.
