Not sure what to make of this

I've got about 19 quart jars of grain knocked up right now, 4 of which have rapidly colonized the grain. About 4 days ago I hit the jars over a spare tire to spread the myc out (The jars were at about 70%) and they recovered very fast. Now standing at about 90% I'm seeing this little dark spots on all 4 jars. I dont know what to make of these spots. Any input would be appreciated.

people have had success spawning bacterial contaminated substrates to slightly "drier" bulk substrates, the mycelium usually wins in the race.
but i have never tried it.

I was wondering about that. Whether it would be worth attempting to use it still or not. Since you claim its not mold, it doesn't pose a threat of contaminating my work area with spores
