Reuploaded images. From the start is it normal that mycelium have that yellow points? Checked posts about infection and didn't found nothing similar.

the first picture is definatly contaminated with bacteria. Noticed how the mycelium has a sold edge, like its ran up against something that cant move any further. Thats a clear sign that something else has colinised that portion of the substrate.


the 2nd picture does not look good either, even if it is metobolites, thats a hell of a lot and good be a sign its fighting something.

improper sterilisation of your substrate, or un sterile inoculation procedures will cause contams.

what are those/? they look like pf tek substrate but with much larger containers, which are not a good thing.

stick to half pints, larger containers take longer to colinise, longer colinisation also gives contamination a bigger chance.

First picture is from the web. At the beginning mycelium was all white with few light yellow points. It's pf tek. If something growth up from this should it be thrown away?

Obviously bacteria...but it might still end up being okay. I had a contaminated syringe, knocked up a bunch of jars, at first there was only orange bacterium. I threw some away but kept the other jars for observation. After about a week white spots started popping up amongst the orange bacterium. Over time the mycelium grew and completely overcame the orange bacterial invaders, and eventually the jars were 100% colonized with no signs of contam.

The cakes were fruited normally and those ended up being some particularly good shrooms.
