Oysters, 1st time, white spots, contamination or healthy oysters??

I recently cloned some oysters from the local co-op. I think they are pearl oysters. They have a mostly grey colored cap w some light brown.. I'm lacking a microscope so I made my master jars w out ensuring my Petri cultures were clean.. Workin w what I have for now. I've never grown oysters. Any and all input would be appreciated. Its hard for me to get a good picture of what id like to show. I have fully colonized rye grain jars. W grains that have powdery/spotty growth on many grain kernels. I see no metabolites, the tops on all jars are fluffy w what I think is white mycelium. Most the jars looked the same during colonization. However one jar, I threw away on day 5 do to the spotty powdery growth I noticed. The growth on this jar was going lot faster(may have been due to how many agar wedges it got inoculated w ) and it had the most spotty powdery growth of concern. I will post a picture of this jar I threw out cause it show the spotty powdery growth the best. This pic will be the only one w the jar not fully colonized.. Do I have contam? Or did I throw away my fastest growing jar lol?? Unfortunately I can't get pics up w this old phone I'm on.. The spots are not concentrated to one area, they are spread throughout the jar somewhat uniformly and have not changed color. The jars have been fully colonized for two days minimum and are 11 days old. Any help appreciated ty. Since I can't get a pic up my question is does this sound like contam or normal oyster growth?

Haters suck, tradd cotters new book is the shit. Not only is it east to read and comprehend (more so than Paul stamets books). It also goes into newer morel cultivation techniques which can also be applied to other fungi. Such as collecting the wild soils from around the base or collected morels u hope to grow. Trade then takes the soil from each individually labeled morel that was collected and puts the soils from around the base of the mushroom and puts it in water. Essentially growing out the microbial population of that individual mushroom, to be used later on as a casing layer pinning stimulant or research for hopefully indoor morel cultivation..... He also shows how to harvest metabolites from spawn bags of mycelium for use in creating medicines of all kinds. If u introduce e coli to oyster mycelium it will produce e coli specific metabolites that may or may not contain a potentially new medicine. Introduce streptococcus to oyster mycelium it will produce streptococcus specific metabolites that may or may not contain a new drug for streptococcus.. If u introduce e coli to agarikon mycelium u get a whole new metabolite w all new potential.. Use shaggy mane mycelium a whole new potential... Trades book is a must for every hopeful mycologist or mushroom grower or hobbyist.. Go get it, its great. He is as microbiologist and has many low tek inexpensive methods in his book that have been proven to work. There are a few small things tradd says in his book that Paul stamets doesn't also. Just key little details when doing lab work. Its full of info, low tek and off the grid teks as well as lab work is covered. Grain jars, agar work, liquid cultures, indoor and out door cultivation is covered. Several diff mushroom growth parameters included just like pauls books. Its near everything covered for a beginer. After this book, definitely still read all of Paul stamets books also he is the man too. Much love.

Back to my rye jars , since these jars are fully colonized.. Theoretically wouldn't shaking the jars, to see if they re-colonize within 24 hrs show if they were contaminated or not? If the jars do re-colonize vigorously within 12-24 hrs they ARE good. If they take longer than 12-24 hrs to fully re-colonize they're BAD?? I dont want to open to jars at all in my house if they are contaminated

Lol, old posts are funny.
I'm pretty sure those jars I was speaking of ended up fruiting health oysters.
