Like the title says, I pressure cooked some pf style jars last night and let them cool, went to innoc today after about 9 hours cooling and 4 of 8 look like this.
Left one is the bad one, right one is one I think is okay.
edit: I figured out it was the dry verm later got wet, but how does that make this happen? It looks like cobweb kinda, just whitish fluffy stuff

What the fuck that makes no sense buddy. How long did you leave the jars before PCing? There is now way cobweb would grow like that 9 hours after PCing if you properly sterilised

I figured it out.
All the ones that were on the bottom row of the pressure cooker are like this. The thing I used to hold them up didn't hold them high enough and I believe boiled water got into all of the bottom jars, soaking the vermiculite and allowing a very easy contamination.
The three that were on top I believe to be okay, do these look alright?

I really hope these three make it, I wasted second and my last spore syringe on these messed up jars, won't be able to continue this awesome hobby for a while unless at least one survives so I can make a print :'(

Yeah you have to elevate the jars out of the water or it can splash into them while it's boiling. That may not even be contamination your seeing and just from the water although no doubt if water got in them they're ruined and probably contaminated as well. I don't know of any contaminants that would visible in that short of time.

If not a contamination what could cause that white stuff in the first jar of the picture in OP
I'm really hoping the 3 that were up top are ok, they look alright I think.

A mixture of BRF in water I guess.

Well if that's the case would I be safe to just dump then outside and wash them out and try again... Or should I still act like it's contaminated and soak in bleach and shit

Just dump them out and wash them. The only time you need to be worried about opening them is if there's mold and there's no way even the fastest growing molds could colonize a jar in that short of time. Although you may have heard different. There are misconception about how quickly mold can grow based on the fact that mold can grow hidden over a period of time and suddenly appear.
