Possible mold? or Growth maybe?

Hey guys! This is the second time I've asked you guys for help and it'd be great if you could help again. So I Inoculated 6 jars of brf on December 22 and I only recently saw something in 2 of the jars so far. I was about to give up on them but then I saw some slight growth. The mycelium was small it;s been about a week since first growth. Today I noticed some small growth in another jar. They look white on the edges and are moving slowly. there is a slight grey dot in the middle. Did I just get a bunk syringe and somehow mold got in recently? Just any help would be cool

The pictures are very blurry, but it looks like mycelium to me

The thing is they both have some strange grayish color in the center. I'm honestly curious if it is mycelium or not. Here is another pic

i see the grayish blob in the middle of the mycelium, still tough to see, its still unfocused.
If u could get an in focus macro shot, that would be great.
At this point, it could be just the shiny color of some vermiculite. But need better photos to know for sure.

Put the jar down. Put your elbows/forearm on the table. Steady now..... Steady......
Take the shot.
Most times Myc starts out grey if you didn't inject by the sides. Looks like you're using the tall 1/2 pints so if you made that mistake (No judgement, we all made one here and there) I'm gonna guess you didn't shoot it too close to the glass/look down and make sure your needle is against it. If you shot the myc inside of your BRF then it'll look grey coming out and then whiten up.
A better pic will help diagnose though.

The 2 jars that I have I think are contams. The grayish spot turned like a dark gray or almost dark green. It has white mycelium around it. While the other jar is about 1/3 covered with mycelium with a small grayish dot where it started. My question if it is contamination why did it start almost a month after I inoculated. None of the mycelium is ryzomorphic. I would take a picture but my phone is currently being fixed. Any knowledge would help. Thanks guys

It sounds like your needle was dirty. If there is less mold then it'll take longer to germinate. I've had fully colonized BRF jars show mold during consolidation.
Just happens , that was due to improper sterilization though.

Dang okay well what about that other one? With 1/3 of the jar white. Is it mold? Should I just throw them out? Sucks that I got bad spores. None of the jars germinated then. Well thanks guys for the help. I'm gonna try for my third grow. So far each one has failed. So wish me luck

It could have been your technique and not the spores.
If you dont sterilize the needle between jars, your needle tip can get infected, leading to mold. Growing mushrooms is all about keep things very clean at all steps of the process!

Yeah, could be from wiping alcohol.
Some people just flame and call it good.

I only wiped the needle with alcohol twice. I guess it was those jars then XD. I'm pretty sure I got bunk spores. Well how would I toss the cake? Could I just throw it in the trash?
