what are these yellow bubbles/dots on my mycelium? (pics included)

these jars have been colonizing for slightly over 2 weeks using pf tek with brf. i used a koh samui super strain syringe . they were not pressure cooked but steamed for 90 minutes. i have 6 jars and this is the one that is mostly colonized. id say around 90 - 95%. the other 5 jars aren't too far behind this one but one of them is only at about 50%. they ALL show these yellow "bubbles" right around the germination point where they were inoculated. aside from not having a pressure cooker, i followed the pf tek 100% maybe im just being optimistic but it doesn't look like contamination to me. I've been doing alot of reading and looking at pics of contamination. I've heard yellow coloring can be from metabolites (but that was described as a yellow fluid, this is looks like little yellow bubbles) or from mycelium that fought off contamination. they even somewhat resemble pins, but all the pins I've seen in other pics have been brown. any input would be appreciated, but i would prefer reliable insight from someone who is more than an amateur.

I was thinking millet when I saw them but you're doing PF. That looks weird to me. Is it possible that it's trying to fruit? The color reminds me of the color of fruits.
Whatever it is, it doesn't look like mold. Give it a few days. If they get bigger or start to get dark in the middle, it's most likely invitro pins. If nothing changes, let the jar get to 100% and consolidate. When you spawn, be sure to inspect it visually and with a smell test.

i was thinking its trying to fruit myself, but thats weird too because theyre not 100% yet. ill waait a few more days and see what happens though either way. thanks for the input fellas. that was fast. still looking for any insight from others as well though

I've had little shroomies appear when it wasn't 100% colonized yet, but they do look a bit strange...

Wait, they all have the same growth? It just keeps getting weirder... Post pictures of the jars in their entirety so we can see how far they are from being colonized. And edit the sponsor out of the first post, we don't use our sponsors' spores for cultivation.
Have they been growing at the same speed all this time, or was the top 80-90% done a while ago? Looks like you're using regular mouth half pints too, if you didn't have the moisture content right they might have stalled and all tried to fruit. But that seems unlikely to me. I haven't done PF, so I couldn't tell you for sure, but I haven't seen anything like that in any of my grain jars.

 i already know theyre the wrong type of jars. were gonna have to crack the first one done open to fruit and get more spores provided that this isnt contam. the rest were planning on just breaking up to use for a monotub

theyve been steadily progressing for almost 3 weeks now. we used the correct amount of water in the mixture as well. if they have indeed stalled and attempted to fruit what is your suggestion?

notice the jar in the middle on the 3rd pic is way behind the other jars. maybe 50% it only germinated at 2 of the inoculation points on this jar, yet again its only about 50% and has the same type of growth right near the germination point. i read somewhere here that this could be a point where the mycelium fought off a bacteria or other contaminant, but have yet to see ANY pictures that looked like this.

You can edit your posts by the way.
Those jars just look like they're stalling out to me. Probably lack of gas exchange because they're too big for PF tek. For consideration a 1/2 pint widemouth can take about 21 days but a 1pint widemouth can take 2 months.

maybe they look bigger in the pics but they are in fact 1/2 pint jars. they dont have the wide mouth (my buddys fault, he thought any 1/2 pint jars would do. i guess well have to break em to get them out. no great loss, theyre cheap anyway) i havent seen the growth stop at all.. theyre still further along than they were 2 days ago. my question wasnt about stalling though. if you look at the first pics i posted, im asking about the strange yellow bubbles/pins growth on the inoculation germination sites. please take a look and give me some insight as to what that is if you have any.
