could be bacterial contamination if it's looking "greasy".
best bet would be to spawn them and see if they fruit.

Ah, that explains it. Typical know-it-all noob. We get a few thousand just like you register here every year. They try a few grows, fail miserably and then after a few months or one bad trip, go back to sniffing glue, never to be seen again.
We have a basic pf tek that's idiot proof enough for noobs to get fucked up with their friends.
Mycologists on the other hand grow for the love of growing. They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end. They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection. These are the ones who will isolate strains, not the dumb fucks who treat mushrooms as a drug, or even worse, a pathogen, as if mushrooms cause disease.

I like to see some moisture build-up in my jars. Is it just moisture? Do your temps fluctuate to cause condensation?
Hmm... can you post a pic?

I tried WBS once. And went back to Rye I had the same oily build up you spoke of. After several taste tests, I've determined there was chopped peanuts in the mix. Which is used in WBS as a big filler. It made almost a slimy texture on the insides of my jars. I think I've read some where (can't remember) that P.cubensis do not grow well whenever peanuts are involved. Didn't seem to give me much trouble. I went back to rye because of the same concrete mix problem you had.
