Contamination or healthy Mycelium???

So does this look bad or is it ok? The patch of mycelium at the bottom of the picture looks very dense and almost rubber like, not wispy and rope like that it normally is. Then in the upper left corner the vermiculite is like a dense clump but it doesn't appear to be colonized. These casings just just been pulled from the incubation chamber after about two weeks of incubation. The top layer of verm was dry during incubation. They were misted right after the trip to the fruiting chamber which is why they may look wet in the pic.

Thanks everyone for all your help. I have an issue I'd like to ask about and for some reason I'm not able to start a new topic so I'll ask here. I've searched the forum already and I haven't found any pics that look quite like this.
Please let me know what you guys think. Thanks!

Run a search for "Stroma"
Im pretty sure thats what you have there. Or possibly overlay.
If its stroma, you might be out of luck

They are Hawaiians. Same strain that is in this post:
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/13050271
They're just a few generations later and I've been using casings for a while now with very good success. And if this indeed turns out to be a contamination it'll be my first. I haven't changed anything in my process, so I'm not sure why this is happening. I did PF cakes twice flawlessly, and these are my fourth set of casings.
Anyway, I'll take your advice Kevin and look up Stroma and overlay.
Thanks for the advice guys. And as always, happy shrooming

I've done some looking around, but haven't found much on overlay. From what I understand, if it's stroma I'm screwed. But what about overlay? Is there anything I can do about that?
