is this contam? (brf cakes) PICS

cakes have been consolidating for 7 days, they will be introduced to fruiting conditions on monday
however I see some brown/gold spots all over the cakes and specially one larger at the bottom of one of them(circled in red) is this bacteria or something else? This is my first grow so I really don't have a point of reference. When you shine a bright light spots look like gold
another quick question, that elongated thingy on 2nd pic is a primordia?any input will be appreciated

Those are invitro pins, dude! Congrats!
Can't tell for sure about the small thing circled in red, but the other is a pin.
Everything looks great man... Keep up the good work!

I wish! when you shine a bright light it looks like metallic gold, it reflects the light , that's definitely no pins,is there any bacteria that produces a gold color? I hope not

Metallic?? Can you get a better pic of it.
If you're into the consolidating period and you have an invitro pin(s) you should be clear of contams at this point. But let someone with more experience let you know for sure.
..the metallic flake isnt verm is it? Just to get the obvious outta the way

Bottom pic is a pin... Top pic is too small to tell... The gold color may be indicative mycelium 'piss'. I think you may be worrying too much. The reflective/metallic quality you are referencing may just be an optical illusion from moisture and the glass. Wait and see... Everything looks good from what I can see.
And I was going to say verm like BLINK, but all the verm should be coated with mycelium at this point. But itf the verm is pushed against the glass, it may be that.

I was thinking since he'd been handling them maybe a few flakes tumbled down the sides from the casing layer. It looks to be me like the myc. has shrunk the substrate a little bit while colonizing which was enough for me to throw it out there.
second guess is metabolites.

Maybe some metal from drilling the lid that fell to the bottom and rusted?

yes, to the naked eye it looks like tiny gold nuggets in there ,camera len can't quite catch it in detail, they are all pressing against the wall, so I'm gonna hope for the best and think is a combo of maybe verm, +mycelium metabolites, I used coffee+ gypsum while preparing the cakes, I dont know...

2nd pic is without any doubt a pin, with no sign of any contam. The first pic you posted at the top is very hard to tell, but also could easily be a pin (try getting a closer shot?)
I looked again and I'm 90% sure there are no contams, only pins in the pics

Like my first comment... That's a pin for sure! The glass might have played some optical tricks on your eyes.
Here's a few shots of my first pin sightings for comparison...

I can see the resemblance in the coloration, but the shape in my case doesn't look like a pin at all, rather like some nasty shit spreading up,everybody else in the thread have said it seems like a pin.At the end of the day I have no idea what the fuck I'm seeing anyway, so It seems on monday all of them into the dunk they go. Thanks guys appreciate the help
