Looks like good mycelium to me.. Question for you why do you have the coffee filter on it still ? Do you have tyvek or something over the jar ? If so you can take off the coffee filter..

the upper range of the jar looks good, like Damion said.
but i see what you mean. in the middle of the last two spots of myc, if im not mistaken.
quarantine and observe.
if the spot gets bigger, toss it.

Yeah I think what that is, is the internal of a few busted grains, it almost looks greenish. But I think all it is, is busted grains..
But like higgledy said watch the jar carefully..

Gas you can be limiting the gas exchange by having the coffee filter in place, it isnt needed if you already have a filtering device.. You could possible stall the jar because your impeding the gas exchange..

Also, a coffee filter isn't sufficient enough to protect against contaminates anyway.

Yea, but he was still under the impression that the coffee filter was providing some sort of protection, which it wasn't
