Hey guys. I have been growing GT on some brf cakes and over time, I notice water droplets forming on the sides of the jars. I did not think much of it but then realized it kind of looks like some kind of slime contamination. here are 2 pics. The jar with tin foil I am sure those are just water droplets, but the jar without I really do not know. It could be either one. Can I get any help to determine if this is just a bunch of water/condensation or actual slime contamination?

Can't quite tell what's going on from those pics. Only odd thing I see is on the foil jar near where the rubberband intersects the foil on the right side of the photo, it looks a bit shrunken and orange-ish.
For the most part it looks normal. Condensation is normal due to the combination of temperature changes and mycellium performing oxidative respiration, of which water is a product. That jar shape is really not ideal unless you have a 3 inch needle to get good inoculation off on the bottom portion of the substrate. Also I think the foil is supposed to be off during colonization, but when I do PF tek I use injection ports instead of a verm barrier, so I'm not 100% sure on that.
What can you do though. Ride it out and see what happens.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...
