Im pretty sure all I'm growing in this jar is bacteria. Any information is appreciated! WBS sterilized . Inoculated next day, incubated in small cardboard box at 76-86 Ten days in. new cultivator obviously, taking every possible precaution besides a glovebox. However I inoculated in a sterile canna grow environment with all fans off.

Yeah those definitely don't look right.
Nice nails.
Also, I prefer using coffee containers to burn 2 holes into a clear plastic tub. Regardless on what you use though, you should lay a wet towel at the bottom for contams to fall and stick to and spray the inside of your SAB with soapy water to also make contams stick.
And the pic where you're holding two of them, the one on the left looks like it might be fine.

Hmm that seems like pretty fast growth in ten days. If it colonises too fast then be skeptical. If it is a strain of cubensis, normally it would take four weeks or so to colonise at a nice toasty temp. On the first image the partially colonised area appears to lack defined boundaries and has kind of blurred edges. I have my doubts that what you have growing in there is what you want. Mycelium typically has very sharp bounded edges and strands of growth can be seen if you look closely.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone. It is a cube , but the species is known to be a fast colonizer. ( pardon my shit myco vocab).
Okay so my suspicion is cleared, what can I do at this point to insure the others survive? I've already separated the messed up one and put the others in a plastic bin with a blanket over her, in the grow room where temps should stay around 80-85. I'm assuming all I can do now is hope, pray to the myco gods, go over my notes to see where I went wrong and do better next time?

What do you use for a filter? If you got filters that are good, the other jars will be fine. The one you're holding has pin mold galore going on there. The one on the left looks OK so far

Synthetic Filter Discs would be ideal if you have money to spend on them. They're re-usable and easier than making tyvek lids.

Thank you, anything else? I would look into a more sanitary method but I don't know where to begin.

There's a guide somewhere on here about making SFD's from polyfill. Pretty sure materials were just a bag of polyfill, an iron, an ironing board, something to use as a template and something to cut the disc out with. This should be considerably cheaper, assuming OP already has an iron.

Would a "tshirt heat press" work? (Haha)
I forgot to mention the jars are also polyfilled under the coffee filter as well. If I made the SFDs would that be all or would that be used under the lid with polyfilled hole.
EDIT: Is it too late to add some humidity back into the jars at this point? Is it necessary? - I was going to leave them be until tub time. Thanks again everyone

A tshirt heat press would probably work. If that Homemade SFD thread was easier to find, I'd provide a link.

Idk the method he's talking about but I would assume a T-shirt press would work fine if a regular iron does.
With a SFD you just drill 2 different 1/4" holes in the lid for gas exchange, and then place the SFD on top of the lid and then screw your ring on top of the lid/SFD.

if you cut the SFD up and just silicone it over a 1/4-3/8" hole you can get 12 of them from one disk. they're outrageously cheap. for 10$(including shipping) you can get enough quality SFDs for 24 jars if not more.
