Looks worrying in this pic. Can we get a close up of the circled area for confirmation

The yellow stuff looks like bursted grains. Unless you pcd for like 3+ hours, they're great for harboring bacteria. So be advised. Bacterial stuff can still get colonized and fruit well though. You're just gambling a little bit.

I'm not seeing anything except grain stain.



Take a few days off from looking at the bag. It'll stress you out looking for contamination. If it go's bad, it is what it is. Just start over.



Relax and leave the bag alone for a few days. Then take peek on how it's doing.

I agree let it sit a few days and check back. I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Starch staining though. As long as the mycelium doesn't stall it's fine.

thanks for the advice all, probably should just let it grow without looking at it for a couple of days
