First grow think I tried too much at once

I think I may have bitten of more than I can chew for my first grow lol 
Got some beautiful GT spores from hawks-eye. Decided to try WBS first as my end goal was a mono tub. 2cc per 4oz jar (had to use because i bought a super shallow pc without noticing ) WBS jars colonized from spores in just over a week with no problems.
Did a g2g from a 4oz jar to a quart jar that I tried to place on its side during sterilization (shallow pc), and I assume me pc'ing it improperly is the cause of this trouble.
My camera is horrible, but here are some pictures. I can see the clump of myc i spooned in resting on the bottom of the jar, but there is a soft, fuzzy, pink-ish growth on the top of the WBS. I have separated this jar from the others.



I also made a 4oz lc jar with karro/water that I g2g'd a single kernal into when I made the quart g2g. This jar has grown fine without contams and I have used it to make a few more lc jars. Took a little under a week to produce 3 syringes with heavy myc.


I then used some of this LC to innoc a couple pint jars that I also pc'ed on their sides due to my pc being so shallow. I think it worked out with the pint jar because they are colonizing nicely at just under a week.
The non-shaken one:

 The shaken one:

I then also used some lc to innoc a pre-sterilized WBS bag from themadeseason. I bought one bag with and one without an injector port. I put about 5cc's of lc into the bag with the port. I started to become concerned when I noticed myc-like growth on the top of the WBS, rather than the bottom where to port is, about 36 hours later. I mixed the bag in my hands a little and it clumped up into a more greyish color. Also noticed a slight fermentation smell from the bag when agitating it, and the bag was also very foggy on the inside (kept at room temp in about 50% RH).


Also separated this bag from the other incubating myc because I fear its has a contam due to the smell.
I also have a martha in the mail for fruiting, and a bunch of myc bags in mail so that I can finally pc a large amount of WBS at one time, even though my pc is only like 4" deep if i use the rack lol. Wish me luck!

One question? Instead of ordering bags why don't you just buy oven bags at the supermarket or walmart and make your own? There is a very cool home made mycobag tek on here. Also I made a grain to mycobag tek, its in my sig...It could save you a bit of money and its very simple to do.

Bought them because they are SUPER cheap from madseaon, and I'm lazy so I would rather spend 20$ on a eurosealer and 10 bags then make something myself. I feel like DIY (in my case at least) is just asking for some tiny thing to go wrong lol.
Determined the first bag is FOR SURE contam'd. All the white-greyish growth i broke up yesterday completely re-took over the bag over night, and the fruity smell is over-powering lol. Cob-web?
