question about strange growth

Hey all, been lurking forums a while now around here and elsewhere. Yes, I am new to this forum but I've grown plenty before. Ive never seen growth like this though on a jar. I sterilized my jars plenty, soaked my berries for 12-24 hours, and rinsed with bleach and h202. I'm thinking maybe its because the spores I used are old. Or maybe I'm just being too paranoid about my jars. Can any of you offer any answers on this?

Your jars look way to wet honey...
Is that black mold? Not good. Pc your jars to kill the mold, then start again!
Better luck next time.

I noticed that too but I did pressure cook for at least an hour and a half. Do you have a recommended time for pressure cooking 5-7 quart jars in a PC?

Boiling them too long wouldn't cause contamination. Either bad sterile procedure or bad syringe. Although I can't see what your lids look like, so maybe that.
Make another batch of jars and don't inoculate one of them. If the control contams, bad PC or lid. If not, bad syringe.

I rinsed all of it thoroughly to make sure there was none of the stuff i added to it left. The syringes were over a year old and I am starting to think they were contaminated sometime a long the way. The only reason I have this suspicion is because there was a jar that had absolutely nothing growing in it. Apparently I missed it when inoculating? Apparently I'm also a bit rusty on this whole growing thing too...

Do you really think these jars are salvageable?

No. Sterilize the jars to kill whatever horrible mold is growing inside so you can safely open them to throw that shit out.
Or just throw away the jars.
