Idk the pics aren't doing them any justice. It almost looks like bacteria. But I'd bet that's just the verm barrier. Which would also make me wonder about anything that those "caught". Just wait it out.
Didn't I tell you to leave them alone for like a week just a little bit ago? Start something else! Do you have any agar going yet?
Was it MS?

What makes you think they are contammed?
That's what sucks about the tall jars. Those would be fully colonized right now if they were widemouths, while the tall ones still have to make it to the bottom.

If you're talking to me... nothing... That's why I said IDK and added it also looks like the verm barrier fell. Pics 2 and 5 have those weird spots that I can't tell what they are. I'm always paranoid about bacteria especially from MS.
That's also why I said awhile ago to leave them alone. Handling them like that is not helping anything. Its compacting the brf and knocking the verm barrier loose. The best thing to do is be setting up your next grow. Learning from each previous grow. Never stop and never limit yourself.

Hmm must have missed that... That's what I get for second guessing my gut instinct.

look at the edges of the growth. It doesn't look right. it looks thick/dense and almost like it's hit a wall..

bet all the moving around disturbed that dry verm barrier, and resulted in slow colonization, and that's what let the contams get a foothold....just my .02
Next time around bro, set it, and forget it. Once you spot some mycelium growth, turn the jar with the uncolonized section out, so you can see it's growth without moving them, or even touching them.
I'd also get some short jars, they do colonize faster
Good luck man..hope they work out for ya

there is no smell at all coming from inoculation holes and there is no discoloration, they just look kinda weird and wet. they are still showing signs of myc growth. im just going to wait it out, its split 50/50 on contamination or not.

be more aware of your sterile work. and maybe prep methods if things get too wet. Have you tried smelling through the inoc holes?

Now that I look back pic 2 and 3 don't look so good but the rest look fine. What are you seeing that I'm not? Apparently I must be blind.

this is my best attempt to explain it. english is not my first language and it doesn't feel like I'm finding the right adjectives to describe it..
