Hello there, first time mycologist here.. I have a question about some possible contams in my brf cakes. A few days ago I noticed a weird dampness in a couple of my jars. When I say dampness I'm not talking about condensation build up like you would see inside a water bottle left in the car. This dampness looked more like the clear jelly that tadpoles form in. Where this moisture build up was on the side of the jar the cake seemed to be recessed from the jar that is to say it looked slightly shrunken in where the moisture was. I noticed this on a couple other jars as well. After a particularly warm day and much mycelial progress/growth there was standing water pooled in these moist jars gathered at the bottom and side. I flipped the jars and left them over night in the hopes they would drain or that the verm layer would absorb it. This morning I opened the foil while holding the jars in the upside down position I left them in to see if the holes in the lids had allowed the water to drain into the foil where it would be possible to remove. Only one had water collected in the foil which I very quickly removed and replaced the foil. The jars are still in the upside down position in the incubator. There were two jars that I noticed possible contams in. The other I'm not sure whether it has pin heads forming or if its also contaminated but these suspected pin heads have been there since before the water arrived. The first pictures that theres multiples of are the possible pinheads forming and or contams?


These last two pictures are the ones I seriously think may be contaminated but this being the first go round may just be normal. The first picture reveals a very small pea sized almost coffee looking stain on the cake or jar. The second has a penny sized blotchy looking dark colored area in the center of the picture. Just below that dark area is the moisture i was trying to describe.

First picture looks like it's got some mold in there with those other colors, same with the 3rd.
Both 4th and 5th have bacteria in the uncolonized spots as you can see the Myc didn't overtake the area.
The second one is the only one that looks ok from what we can see. I'm unsure if those are pins or not.
Wait for some more people to chime in, I'm not 100% on these.
