What is wrong with my BRF Jars? (It looks like Alien eggs)

I have attached some pictures of a 5 PF Tek BRF jars. Here is some background information:
- 1/2 Pint Cakes - TranscendingLife's Lid Tek for PF Jars - Cubes strain - Inoculated with Agar wedges (wedges were from a 2nd transfer, clean) - Inoculated on 9 June - Fully colonized on 2-4 July - Environment = spare room, temperatures from 79-84+ degrees F - The jars were not completely full of BRF, I left a little space for the Agar wedge
Pictures:
Jar 1
  
Jar 2
  
Jar 3
  
Jar 4
  
Jar 5
  
Jar 1 has some suspect growth in one of the pictures.
Jars 4 and 5 have the odd Alien-egg nodes. The orange-ish spots look like they were liquidy. I first thought they it might have been metabolites but I did not see any other pictures that resemble that.
Jars 2 and 3 are from the same batch but do not exhibit any strangeness.
Do you guys see anything worth worrying about? I'm scared!

Well that... makes sense.
I had a few 1/4 pint cakes that consolidated earlier last month and I assumed they were metabolite sites and birthed them. Every one of those cakes did not fruit.
Yet, another cake from that batch looked very healthy and robust (compared to the other cakes that I birthed) and within 3 days was pinning.
Oh wait... let me get a pic of my only cake that started pinning... there is also some suspect sites on that one.
I am sad.

no need to be sad thats the reality of things, take it as it is which is an experience to learn from,wedges to cakes can be tricky, use grains and make sure your plates are clean

 not sure what it is but they were sacs of metabolites, some showed nice clear metabs other jars had dark red ones and others more of a cloudy color but myc eventually colonized over them as you can sorta see there, i actually drew some up in a syringe for a little experiment with petri's i just haven't gotten around to it, be interesting for some input on what it may actually be though as i never looked into it

I thought that my growth sites were metabolites because for every single cake they only showed up AFTER full colonization and only during the consolidation period. Also, some cakes showed these nodes and would go through growth and recession, they would appear small, then become overtaken by the mycelium, then maybe show up on another site or not appear again at all, etc.
I have read that RR has said that metabolites that show up after full colonization is just a byproduct of the mycelium "digesting" the substrate but also it could mean that there are contaminates that the mycelium is trying to fight off.
I don't know...

Here are pictures of the cake that is actually pinning but also show the Alien-Egg syndrome:
  
Here is a picture of cakes that I have birthed:

Starting from the upper left row: 1-3 - birthed just yesterday, can't tell anything so far. 4-5 - birthed 27 June, no signs of fruiting showed Alien-Egg during consolidation 6 - birthed 4 July, already pinning but shows Alien-Egg currently 7-9 - birthed 21 June, no signs of fruiting showed Alien-Egg during consolidation

Just my SAB that I left the jars in after inoculation. I usually leave everything still once I get done with work, clean it up right before I use it again.
