It may be that the bottom of that jars is too compact, since it is a tall jar (not a wide mouth). I cannot really tell from the picture. I would be concerned about the pink stuff at about mid-jar. THAT looks bad to me.

Kind of looks like there are 2 different mycelia in there, with one growing over the other. If so one of them is mold.

It doesn't need to be perfectly white. In fact the discolored area on top could be mushroom mycelium. What's more concerning is the bottom of the jar. Mycelium won't form distinct layers like that unless it's trying to isolate itself from a contaminant.

Wait a minute, is that line just drawn on? It looked like a gap but up close it looks like a marker

yeah its just marker so i could track the levels of growth along the jar every few days since these jars are known to stall. but there coming along nicely growth has moved to the bottom of the jars over the last day.

In that case, I think it's fine. A small amount of metabolites is normal.
