First grow

So I started my ethno growing with cacti about a year ago. All is going well.
I decided to dive into it with fungi as well. So I gathered up everything I needed for a pf tek run and started my adventure.
Spores came from a sponsor. On 8/28/15 I inoculated 12 jars. 6 b+, 3 Malabar, and 3 chitwan
Pics are from a few mins ago 9/2/15.
B+
Malabar
 Chitwan
All seems to be going swimmingly for my first go at this.
From the reading/researching I have done I'm rather surprised by how fast the chitwan is colonizing. It may end up being the one I stick with in the future but still awhile before I can decide that for sure.
Will try to update as things progress.

Ok so all of my chitwan jars have what I believe to be an excess of metabolites probably because the temps are getting a bit to high but not 100% sure being my first rodeo and all.
So anyone with some expertise care to chime in on it.

Looks like the first pic has something green in it and in the middle looks like it might be something grayish. Could be the mycs response to contaminate. But I'm no expert just my two cents

Might be my crappy pics. Definitely no green or gray. Just some of the liquid in the jars has a yellowish tint to it. Not sure if it's bacterial or metabolites.

That green to me looks like the light reflecting off of some vermiculite. Idk 
Definitely a lot of moisture in there, you can definitely see some yellow discoloration. I would carry on for now. Keep us updated.

If you could put the cakes down, turn off your flash and reset your camera/phone on something while you took the picture, it would really help us out a lot.

Those pics are much, much better--thanks. It's definitely metabolites, but they look okay. The one that's pinning is ready to be birthed right now.

That's all 1 jar but the other 2 look nearly identical. Was thinking about spawning to coir/verm and maybe worm castings seeing as I only have 3 cakes that are ready to go.
Lost 1 Malabar to a spot of some yellow mold. Other 2 are doing well but still have a bit to go. All 6 of the b+ still have no signs of growth.
Thanks for all the input. I have done a lot of reading but still have much to learn.

So at around 10 days since knocking my jars. None of my b+ jars have any growth except one and I think it's mold. Is this normal or did I get a dead syringe?

The 3 chitwan spawned to the minimono is coming along pretty well. Probably another4-5 days or so.
Malabar cake starting to pin up.
 Other Malabar cake only cased the top because there was already a few pins and didn't want to knock them off.
