Are dots inside my jar contamination?

I inoculated with spores four days ago. I also inoculated another jar with lc and it has the same thing, although much further along. The rye all looks fine, colonizing with what appears to be brilliant white mycelium. However, at the top of the jar there are little dots, they kind of look like stars. They look like mycelium, and I've seen these dots in previous jars that turned out fine, but they were usually against the glass down by the rye, not well above the rye.

I shook it pretty vigorously, although it is possible that I didn't shake it enough.

Then you probably have spores germinating on the damp sides of the glass above the rye. Just watch and see what they do.

Agreed. It's probably mycelium which will soon run out of food and disappear. RR

Ok thanks a lot! I was convinced it was bacteria for a while, almost gave me a heart attack b/c I just inoculated five more jars today with the same lc!
Question: should I shake the jar again to get that mycelium into my rye so it won't die and go to waste?

No. It could stress the mycelium growing in your jar. It would make them both grow more slowly AND be more vulnerable to infection.
