Questions about my cakes

So here is the little journey my cakes have been on the past couple of weeks. This is my first grow and I'm just trying to trial and error until I get a good routine going and can successfully and efficiently grow some shroomies 
First starting off my 5 jars

Just got out the pressure cooker foil was removed shortly after

Mysc. was growing well and strong and I think it stalled toward the top of the jars. Going to have to order some short wide mouth jars, won't make that mistake again. Then I didn't check on my jars for a couple of days and come back to see these pins scattered everywhere.







Decided to put two of the best looking cakes in one bowl and the other cake with the big pin on it in another. I also realized I did dunk the cakes wrong because they were not fully submerged. I also had to leave the cakes dunked for around 35 hours instead of 24 because my SGFC wasn't ready yet 

Actually ended up picking the big pin on the side because it look like it was stalled anyways. Got a nice little tiny trip off it.

This cake is the only cake pinning at the moment and is my #1 hope for some yield.

Awful looking cake having heavy doubts about this one. Advice?


Same goes for this cake, no pinning and odd looking.


This was a Karo liquid culture I had going and I checked up on it one day and it looks like this now. Wtf? Should I toss the whole thing away? Not too knowledgable about liquid cultures.

Also pinning before full colonization can point to contams.

I thought they were lookin' funny in the first couple of pics, but wasn't sure. The ones right before birth said it all.

Should I keep the pinning cake and toss the other two? Also how do you tell the difference between yellow = mysc. metoblism and yellow = bacteria/contam?

This was one of the cakes I threw out because it looked like it had cobweb.

I threw the two and buried it in the backyard I doubt anything will come from it but oh well. I guess I'm just going to keep the one pinning cake in my SGFC and baby it and see if I can get anything from it, but yes I'm going to just knock up a 3 half pint jars and wait until my other jars I ordered come in and go for round two .
Thanks for the advice guys I'll keep posted on this thread if anything happens with the cake

You have enough room to fit a bit more perlite in that shotgun.
