It looks like white rice. If thats the case, you might want to do some
checking. Because I just read somewhere, someone used some whole minute
rice, and the jar colonized correctly, and quickly, but the mushrooms
produced were VERY weak. Like, not even worth the effort at all. Sorry
to be a buzz kill, but you need to check it out.

I'm pretty new so my one piece of advice would be not to go cheap on your fruiting chamber. You will either get no fruits or really small pathetic ones.
I just did my first grow and had them in a styrofoam container at first and got some small pins that all pretty much died. You can make an effective fruiting chamber for pretty cheap.
I got a clear plastic bin with plastic top from the store and made holes in the side with a knife (the holes are less than the size of a dime) and made them 2-3" apart. I didn't make too many, just two or three rows on each side. Fill it about 2-4" up with perlite (you can order it online and it is very cheap, mine was about $5 for a good sized bag) and just fan + mist regularly. I fan it with the top to my container, and I usually mist whenever I notice the sides of the chamber are drying up. Don't take this next part as fact, it is my personal opinion. Don't mist too much before bed because you think it will dry out. It seems like mine pin and grow better when they have a short "dry" cycle overnight. So just mist lightly.
Are you going to fruit them as cakes or crumble them?

Did you add a dry verm layer? And are there holes in your aluminum foil? I woulda cut like two 1/8"-sized holes in the foil and put two layers of micropore tape over em.
You dont gotta keep em in a clean box. The dry verm layer keeps contams out and i put micropore tape over the inoc holes for an extra safety pre-caution. I just keep mine up in my closet with the door shut in the open air and we smoke weed in here all day. But i open the window if it gets hotboxed and the closet doors kinda seperates it as its own environment. They need gas exchange...not air exchange... and the tiny little inoc holes with micropore tape over em is perfect for that.
Dont disturb them too rough or you will disturb the dry verm layer, making it easier for contams to penetrate beneath it. Thats why i use micropore tape over the inoc holes after inoculation. You want the dry verm layer to be as settle and still as possible so no type of spore can get beneath it.
And they only need to be at like 70-76F if the temp go above 76F the mycelium grows quicker, but contam chances are higher. I colonize at room temp. I honestly prefer an AC to get it down to 70s if summer weather is 80F+ and im tryin to grow. And light shining on cakes during colonization doesn't matter and RR actually said that normal room light is kinda beneficial to cakes' colonization. 
I'll be glad to help you out along the way and criticize with kind opinion...feel free to ask any questions 
Good luck...i'll be watching 
ps - id say build a shotgun fruiting chamber like instructed in RR's vids with 1/4" holes, 1.5" apart, on all six sides and 4"-5" of perlite in the bottom http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek click the pt3 vid for a video

What did you expect? You take a close up picture of the jar and you don't
think we know what it is? You might be new to this, but alot of us have
been around for awhile. So don't come and ask for advice, when you are
doing something that if you did some searching, you would know not to do
and then get all mad when we haze you a little. If you don't mind me
asking, how old are you, seriously.
