Is this mycelium growing as it should?

Hello guys, I am new to this forum and to mushroom cultivation. Three weeks and 2 days ago I inoculated 5 jars with GoldenTeacher spores and after a little more than a week mycelium appeared. In the beginning it seemed to spread fast and fine but now (for a week) it looked as it stopped growing. Three days ago I marked the line of mycelium with a marker and until now the mycelium has not spread over it. See the photo. The jars are kept at 26 degrees Celsius (79 F). I would like to ask you if this is normal and if I should be more patient and wait until the whole cake is covered in white or what should I do? Thanks.

Those cakes are heavily contaminated with some kind of bacteria....not to mention the substrate has compacted itself severely.
Looks like a kit.....looks like you learned a lesson......

Put on a hazmat suit and dispose responsibly. This is an example of an obvious bacterial contamination. (You don't really have to put on the suit)

The myc stopped growing when it ran into the bacteria. If there was no problem at all then even if it was just compacted it would grow slowly.... No growth indicates it hit a wall of something bad
