I'd get it away from your other jars til someone with experience can reply...
but I'd say that black stuff doesn't look very good...

im pretty sure thats a contam. It seems a lil greenish at the top, but i could be wrong. I had exactly the same problem with a few of my cakes so i just cut out like a half inch of the bottom and cased them anyways, even tho most may advise against it. But the casing is pinning as normal and i havent seen any new signs of contams yet. Hope that helps!

I see this quite often with aggressive strains like Golden Teachers. It looks like the mycellium keeps growing and growing and compress itself to look like some mushroom flesh. If I don't wait to much and birth em as cake or casings, im fine but if I let it go fore another week, it turns black and rot.
Birth this as soon as possible.

Yeah birth as soon as possible and just to be sure give it a whiff, actually if it is contamed you normally can just smell it right when you open it. If its only smells of a pleasant shroomy smell then fruit that bitch.

^^^^I agree with fish.^^^^
I am assuming since the bottom is done the jar is 100%. If so, get that baby outta the jar, rinse that shit off, and birth according to your plan.
Confined, that kind of excess moisture will grow bacteria fast. Rinsing and giving it some fresh air will probably save it. Maybe consider dunking in a very dilute bleach solution (200:1 or so).
I think you'll be OK if you act fast.
