I'm not to sure what it is or could be. But my best advice I could give you is just let it do its thing. opening it up raises your chances for contaminants. if it gets to moist like it has been doing take a paper towel and dab it. other then that it looks like it won't be long now till you can fruit it ! 
also, not sure if you let it colonize in a trash bag (not talking about your liner)..but that is outdated information as well as leaving it in total darkness. you can simply leave it out with normal ambient light and it will colonize the same if not faster.
Another thing, try using polyfill next time for incubating and fruiting. actually, I would take out that cotton (SFD) and replace it with somewhat loose poly fill for fruiting it.. cotton doesn't provide FAE..
good luck man and post results

Yea i have it in ambient light, not too worried about the darkness.. also i dont think its a contam because it looks too much like myc, just a little darker than the rest.
Also i try to leave it alone, i just took those pics while i was dabbing up some of the wet spots.
I figured the cotton may not give the best FAE, but i dont have any synthetic pillow stuffing at the moment. couldn't i just FAE like a shotgun chamber when its ready to fruit??
Also: so the garbage bag is not needed, i can just use the tub with no liner?
p.s. Thanks

I also think its fine. and I'm sure you can fan it a lot like a SGFC, but even with my tubs I fan a lot 3-5 times a day and it does wonders. Guess the idea here is "Monotubs are supposed to be less work then a SGFC"
and about the trashbag. I didn't mean your liner as I said above. I meant putting the monotub in there for it to colonize.

ALSO: im a lil confused. so your saying that you can just colonize it in the trash bag, and then after 100% put it into the tub?

From what I read I think you wrap the entire tub in a trash bag I could be wrong.

yeah, do not do that your more than likely to get contaminated tubs. just leave it sit in room that's room temp with ambient light to colonize with nothing covering it up

for some reason im worried too about yoursubstrate. it looks to me as if it may be contaminated with some sort of bacteria but im not sure at all. so just keep a really really close eye, id say give it some fresh air to dry out, and then leave it for a bit stop poking at it stop opening it unless to fan.

when going back to the beginning of your post i notices a picture of your spawn jars, and two of the jars looked only 90 percent colonized you should wait always till no grain can be seen, and then wait a week to let the myc really take a strong old of the grain.

Yea i gave those jars that were 90% a little more time, they were 100 when i made the mono. Also: i heard that consolidation is not really needed for spawn, RR said it i believe. but i dont think he was referring to pop corn though.
It looks okay to me but i would really like a second/third opinion being as its my first mono, i may take another pic later but you can pretty much get the drift from those 3 that i already posed.
I actually think its looking better though there's strong rizomorphic strands reaching upward all over. including on/around the spot in question.
