Worried about some BRF Jars

So, my jars seemed to be ready to start the 7 day wait period some time around this weekend or early next week, but today I noticed these slightly yellow spots on three of the jars and can't seem to find the post with all the pictures of contams to compare. What do you guys think?

Looks like mico piss to me. No need to worry let them consolidate. Good luck bud:)

I can't tell if it's metabolites or bacillus (sour rot) because the picture won't magnify. One of my BRF jars got a little spot just like that, but it didn't grow or anything so I kept the jar and it smelled fine and produced good fruits. So I guess in my case it was just metabolites. If the spot starts to take over the jar, don't even open it. Just throw it out. If it doesn't get any bigger, open the jar away from your other projects and see what it smells like. If it smells like fresh mushrooms, you're good to go. If it smells sweet or sour, you have bacterial contamination (throw it out, or I guess you could try to grow it outside, but I would just start over). Good luck

Thank you for the response! The quality is crappy, because autofocus doesn't like the glass and kept messing up, but perhaps this bigger version will help?

No problem! Is that a little pin pressed up against the glass? Some people have told me that bacteria can cause early pinning, so that could be a bad sign

I don't think it's a pin. Just seems like a little mycelium knot.
