G2G CONTAMS?

EDIT: THESE JARS WERE CLEAN. 100% SUCCESS RATE EACH JAR SMELLED OF FRESH MUSHROOMS AND WERE G2G'd INTO MORE
  
There are spots of mycelium on the glass near the top of the jar, where there is no grain at. I figured a tiny bit of mycelium maybe could have rubbed off onto the glass from a colonized grain, but mot likely not. Its most likely a contam that fell in the jar, and grew on the sticky residue left behind on the glass from shaking the grains up.
There is also a couple jars which have tiny mycelium points on grains which havn't yet been colonized by the master grains, but there is mycelium on them. I have since switched my sterile technique up and im thinking i might get some better results coming next g2g. 
Lookin pretty bad?

Those look fine to me, what makes you think mycilium cannot grow on glass? Happens to me all the time.

On a second look, heres some better pics of the mycelium on the glass. it looks like it might be mold to me.

and some better pics of the mycelium point on the grain kernel which hasnt yet been colonized, but yet theres a point of mycelium starting. on the pic on right, the questioning myc is on the bursted kernel

I've got similar myc growth on the glass in one of my WBS jars. I just attribute it to cracked grains releasing starches which, with the moisture, gets all over when you shake the jar. That can allow for a colonization point like the one you're seeing.

Here's some pics of the growth as it got a bit bigger. I personally think it looks a bit thin and slightly off from the cube myc. I'll be able to open the jar soon as they're just about fully colonized, apart from this mycelium on the glass its completely seperate and to me, very suspect. Any more input?

I had a few extra PF style jars I never got to boil, so I let them sit out, to see what they'd do naturally.
They cobweb'd over, and from the cobweb I saw in each, I can tell you your jars look just fine.
(Dear God I need to just toss these things, they've since gotten disgusting and there is no saving the jars, I fear)
-------------------- Hold on tight, to your dream! Unless you have shoeboxes, then hold onto those. Head down to the store, buy some butterfly clips, dub tub your jars, forget about them, move to Kensington, buy a boat you only ever keep in your driveway, become a Pinterest administrator, sell dollar store mugs with rhinestones hot glued all over them.

seems like bits of agar/seed made it way onto the side of your jar after a good shaking..

this looks more hairy to me now, but how long ago did it show up? if it is cobweb it would take over the top of that jar pretty quickly. the stuff is super aggressive. its probably just myc though... you'll know by turkey day for sure.

the g2g was done on the 17th and the mycelium on the glass showed up around the 21st-22nd. even if it isn't cobweb, it still could be some other type of random mold that could have landed on the glass during the g2g. either that, or im just trippin out and its cube myc.

This spot looks a diff shade and texture from the rest of the cube myc. It the last uncolonized part of the jar.

I agree to me they look fine. Iv actually have had cakes that I birthed and forgot to wash the jars and a couple weeks later when I went to make a new batch the bottoms of the jars had health myc. Also my last batch of wbs turned out the same as your after shaking, just keep an eye on them but from personal experience your jars are fine keep it up.
