I've never seen these white dots before, contam or normal?

I shook this jar about 2 days ago and shook the other two of the same strain yesterday, I didn't see any of these until after the shake ( I didn't even shake it that hard). It's kinda hard to tell from these pics because of the damn mineral buildup on the outside, it makes the mycelium look like cobweb but it looks pretty healthy with the naked eye, I'm just wondering if these white dots are anything to worry about. I ran a quick search and saw the people who had these eventually ended up throwing it out and it looks almost identical, what the hell is it?

So I should throw the jar out? Damn it was doing so well. What causes the yeast? I'm hoping none of the other jars come down with it but if this one did I don't see why they wouldn't either seeing as they were all done the same way and at the same time

Yeast, for sure.

Though, not really a bad thing I've found by fruiting yeast contaminated cultures.
The yeast isn't very aggressive; multiple times I've used yeast-infected spawn into a bulk substrate with nothing but success.

Though, a word of warning, fruiting with the yeast will contaminate your growing areas heavily - thus contaminating future grows.

Toss it or try it, your choice.

Is there any way the gypsum is causing this? I read in a thread someone had this problem with a couple batches with gypsum then tried it without gypsum and there was no yeast? I'm just trying to figure out how to not have this happen again because it's annoying as fuck

There can different reasons but gypsum aint one of em.

Contamnd spores or culture, bad filter, improper sterilization or improper aseptic conditions when innoculating.

could be the spores I guess, or my room being pretty messy, but I was pretty anal about the Glovebox being clean as fuck but I'll try again tomorrow, it's definitely not sterilization because I PC'd at 90 min at 15 PSI, so I'm gonna chalk it up to the spores or the shitty room, it could even be the heat bomb that I'm using, who knows at this point, I kinda need that thing though because without it it's too cold and the jars would stall
