So, this jar took awhile to finish up, and I haven't seen this type of discoloration before, should I birth this, or does this look like contam? I know I've had slight yellowing from metabolites, but I don't want to take a chance on this one if it's not necessary

Yeah, definitely was afraid of that. Luckily only one out of like 10, but it's always good to get that one last cake for another good trip. Thanks for the help

Give it a good hard sniff through the inoculation hole. If the smell makes you want to purge your nostrils with Lysol then you 100% have some sort of bad juju growing in there.

Telling people to sniff clearly contaminated jars is not a safe idea.
That is clearly contaminated. Chuck it.

You're probably right and for that matter not all bad bacteria produce noticeable smells. It's why smell isn't a great indicator of whether a food is safe to eat or not.
The good hard sniff bit was tongue in cheek but really, if it's that contammed there's a good chance you'll be able to smell it through the holes at arm's length.

Done, thank you. I was pretty sure I would be so I kept it quarantined, and it's gone now

It's mold. Probably was introduced after the inoculation through the dry verm layer somehow. If the dry vermiculite gets damp, contains BRF, or gets shaken around that can happen. The yellow crap is just metabolites produced by the competing fungi. Both the mold and the mushroom mycelium in that jar are white.
