Hello, so this is my first post as I am new to the mycology world.
As anybody would be, I'm concerned of possible contams. I am currently at the germination stage on brf verm. One of my sets have flourished (or so I think, pictures I will post in the next couple comments). One of my sets seem to be of a bad smell with little growth until today, which shows a small amount of growth near innoc sites. (Day 5)
The smell has been described by multiple people around me as a variety; sour milk, dirty socks, egg.
As a precaution I have isolated the ones smelling bad to a separate room, but I am looking for advice based on the visuals.
I am just simply posting this immediately to attract attention from the advanced, assuming a notification system is in place for when I do post pictures of the growth.
If anybody has camera recommendations for settings on a Nikon d3300 18-55mm lens. By this I mean which iso settings and shutter speed + RAW or Fine jpeg.?
Thanks in advance to anybody willing to help! And yes I realize I just asked about help for a camera as well on a mushroom forum... Lmfao the chances of somebody knowing is slim, but still worth a shot.
So as I sit here waiting for the girlfriend to come out of the train, I've noticed that it is the lipa Yai Thai strain that seems to smell, the palenque that I have had little to no smell.
Still waiting on z strain to sprout something.

Haha, so I found a crumby iPhone photo. So here the first of many to come. But this is approx 3 days in on what I think is healthy palenque.

Urrrhhhh welp I guess my sneaky suspicion was right, I isolated my lipa's right off the get go *thank god* I think. I took a looksy an hour ago, and low and behold I see discoloration and mycelium growth. Or so I think. Pictures will be updated tomorrow, for tonight I drink!

Bad smells are never good, and a tell tale sign you have a contamination.

I believe this is a good one, I have slight condensation happening on some of these though. The sides seem to have a bit of water droplets, yesterday was incredibly hot and I think it may be due to that... Still I would rather have secondary and tertiary opinions.

Second jar to which I believe is healthy Mycelium growth
Now begins what I believe to be the contaminated ones
   
The contaminated and the 'healthy' mycelium are two different strands, but this last image is from the same as the contaminated strand. I don't know if this is healthy mycelium as well but it is showing some growth so it's worth the shot of somebody identifying.
Any other information that I can provide to help identify please let me know. I'm incredibly open to the help and wouldn't reach out otherwise.

Well I went along with it, I weeded out contams. I got a quick growth. Now I'm dissecting the inside of one fresh mushroom. Here's what the inside looks like. Normal or no?
