Are my jars contaminated?

Hey I have four jars, each a different type.
P. subaeruginosa, B+, Blue Meanie and Alacabenzi
They have been incubating at 28degrees Celsius for 10 days.
I have got mycelium growth in the P.Sub and B+ jars and I am quite excited but also worried that they may be contaminated. I see a little bit of green (is that mold) in the jars with growth.
The Blue Meanie and Alacabenzi have no growth, does this mean the spores didn't take hold and died?
Please check out the photos and let me know.

Definitely all contaminated, but they also look poorly mixed, looks like mostly verm on top and mostly BRF on the bottom. They all have a very soupy look. What were you following to get jars like that?

They are very badly contaminated far beyond saving. What measurements did you use in preparing those jars? Did you sterilize or pressure cook them? You also may want to consider getting wide mouth jars, you won't be able to get cakes out of those. And I'm a bit curious about the rubber gloves too... what's that about?

OMG ... sorry but those are awful...
Please don't open those indoors, or sniff or breathe any of that shit in.
I'm not even sure I wouldn't just bury those jars and all... 
Not trying to be a dick just stating the obvious.
PS - what's with the verm layer?

did you pc these? i would guess not. anyway theyre trash. I wouldnt even save the jar.
-------------------- An old man and his grandson are sitting by the fire outside the tepee, wrapped in furs and gazing into the leaping flames. High on a snowy ridge, a wolf howls at the moon and another answers from far away. Soon after, the old man removes the pipe from his mouth. ‘Grandson,’ he says. ‘There are two wolves inside you. One is white and the other is black.’ ‘What are they doing there, Grandfather?’ asks the wide-eyed boy. ‘They are fighting each other,’ says the old man. The boy considers this, then asks, ‘Why are they white and black?’ ‘The white one is your love, your peace and your truth. The black one is your fear, your anger and your lies.’ The fire crackles and sparks flare in the night. The wolf on the ridge howls again and the old man puffs contentedly on his pipe. Finally, the boy says, ‘Which one will win, Grandfather?’ ‘Ah,’ says the old man, removing the pipe once more. ‘The one that wins is the one that you feed.’

Funny when you have time to edit the names of everything into pictures in fancy font but haven't yet realized how totally beyond help all those jars are.

Well its a learning curve my first jars went in the bin my new jars were done under a much stricter sterile environment and up to now its looking good I think the blasting on how bad this looks should stop and move on to make sure it doesn't happen again Best thing about this hobby is you can try again without much financial or time cost Maybe let us know the sequence of events you went through to get to this stage each step in detail

Sometimes I just wish I could send newbies some home-grown spawn... Fruiting is the fun part anyway! (This is not an offer of shit... to anyone... unless you want edibles... maybe lmao)

I have to say, I really fucking like that taste of Lions Mane, fresh picked, uncooked. Shiitake are pretty good, and pleurotus (oysters) are alright. They are good for beefing up some fetuccini or something. Reishi have amazing health benefits, and so do shiitake. Although, I think the research on this is a bit sketchy, by Western standards. In Asia they do science a bit differently.
