Cauliflower type growth in grain jar?

One of my grain jars looks overly colonized. Now it has weird cauliflower type growth going on. Thinking it's contam.
Here are some pics...
You'll notice the "cauliflower" type growth is almost ivory in the third photo. Hard to see, unfortunately.
Let me know what you think.

Mycellium will form a thick wall around contamination if present in a culture....its actually a very good sign of a viable/healthy/worthy of cloning culture but a bad sign for the cake. If it fruits while containing contamination read up on tissue cloning.... Some mycellium can fight off high amounts of airborne mould spores while others cannot. (Depending on the quality of the culture)

It's OVERDUE by 5 weeks? Meaning it was fully colonized 5 weeks ago? I heard from someone here that the jar cracks by second week.
Actually, this jar is probably around 5 weeks old from knock up.
I just started seeing really hard, cauliflower looking shapes at the top of jar, so I got a bit freaked out, because this was the jar I witheld from spawning, so I can use for G2G. If this jar is contaminated, that would mean the rest that I spawned are as well, considering this one looked the best at the time.

Thanks, I thought it might be contam, so I was worried.
My spawn is starting to smell like watermelon rind, so everyone's been telling me it's probably contaminated... most likely trich. I guess I'm still holding my breath lulz.

if the jars crack from mycellium growth, they've been induced to extremely high levels of radiation.

How do you plan on breaking it up?
And yes, my monotubs smell like watermelon/honeydew at the moment. Visually, it still looks healthy though.

In other words I beleive cron is saying he just cased it in the jar with coir and fruited it that way rather than spawning it.

OP, this is an outside chance at best, but IMO it's possible you've gotten a mislabeled syringe. Sclerotia producers smell just like melons to me, and I've heard it said by others elsewhere on this forum. Alternately, if these are PE, I've had them blob up on me like that in jars before.
What was the syringe labelled?

It was labeled "Z." What is slerotia? Is it not psilocybin?
Colonization hasn't stopped. 4.5 days in.
The 6 quart is coming along nicely so far, at least from what I can tell.
66 quart is colonizing really slowly, because there were only three jars in there. Then again, my jars are at least half full, if not 3/4. I notice most only fill the jar halfway. I sprinkled some verm/coir on top as a semi-casing, so I'm not seeing much on the surface. Maybe 10% at this point.

Do you add a lid on it, after you add coir during spawn stage? Or as soon as you add coir, you just keep it open?
Also, why no verm?
