5 weeks colonization progress. Possible Contams?

Lots of moisture unfortunately. Others are saying they're contamed. I thought they looked fairly healthy save for the myc growing up the sides of the jars in the open spaces at the bottoms, but even then I hadn't thought that was necessarily bad. I flipped them to try and drain the water to the top so that's why there's that space. Could really use some help here. Really hoping I dont have to start over.

Those pictures are pretty blurry it's hard to tell. It does look a bit to wet. I'm not real used to identifying contams on pf jars though.

I'd say, right now, it's a "wait and see" scenario. IMHO, flipping the jars is a good idea. In the next days, you'll either see aggressive mycelium growth or a stall. I'm hopping for the former but those timings are becoming way off. Check your incubation temps and keep them steady.
Do you notice any bad smell ?

No bad smells, they smell nice and shroomy and earthy. Yeah, I'm just gonna wait it out and see what happens.

2nd picture looks like bacteria on the uncolonized parts and also looks like mold in there too.

The myc has grown considerably into the uncolonized areas. Would the mycelium still grow into areas that were contaminated by bacteria? There's no discoloration at all. The myc is as white as the driven snow.

It's possible that it can grow over it and hide it. It's also possible that I might have jumped the gun on saying bacteria/mold. Just it looks it to me a bit, and I'd rather cry wolf now then not say something when it was. 
Give us some pictures of the spots you did before in a day or so. That'll really give us a good bearing.
