Contaminate? High res pics included!

So this jar is 99% colonized save the spot you see in the picture. My apprentice left the heater on after a g2g for a whole night and the room temp reached 95F. The jars and everything seem to be recovering fine, though this is clearly an invitation for contaminates to set in. Without further ado, is this a contaminate?

Doesn't look good to me, generally if its not the color of the grain/wbs used or white like Myc....than I don't use it.

i'd watch it but be very wary of it...

Separate it and leave it in there for a couple days longer to see where it goes. Might just be a dry discoulored spot.

That's mold. It wouldn't be related to the temperature though. It may have gotten in when you did your g2g.

First contam in a g2g in 100+ jars then; not to shabby for a SAB.
It really almost looks like bruising, but weird and bumpy. I dunno if I would be able to smell any contamination in there being as there is SO little if it is a contaminate.
I won't be using it as I wouldn't want to compromise a whole tub on hope. Just sucks, as I am sure you all have once felt (or will feel) to lose a jar so close to success!
Thanks for all your wisdom, friends.

You're lucky you caught it now. A lot of times jars contaminated during a g2g will show no visible signs of it until after spawning.

hmmmmmm i didn't know that... i just did a G2G in open air in my kitchen just to see what would happen. the jars are colonizing just fine, all rhizomorphic and ropey and quick, but i wonder how things will go after the spawn...

spawned them today - no green or funk... i broke up the 3 quarts and distributed them into 6 bags just in case trich does set it... better they're isolated...
so far so good... we'll see what they look like in 10 days... i'm pretty sure it's gonna be ok tho...
