Very Shoddy PF TEK Expiriment

Hey guys,
I've been experimenting with low expense, low skill, pf tek. Just to see how low I can go. I harvested, printed, syringed, and cultivated 4 jars and out of the 4 I have one successful colony. I break up the jar, due to using non wide mouth type, into a small gladware with some verm. At the time, it had pins. Some died due to stress at birth. I'm showing signs of some possible contam. Can't tell if it's cottony mold or myc developing on the substrate/ base of the most developed shroom. NOTE: I've never used a substrate style fruiting chamber which is why I am curious. Never seen the Myc grow on a flat style surface. Currently I'm showing pins and possibly small areas of contam. At this point should I just let it go and see what happens or remove the areas with definitive contam.
PLease see pictures. THank you in advanced!

so....what is it that you actually do? Sorry if I missed it in the OP, but I'd like to hear how your procedure differed from the norm

I wouldn't say that it was anything far from the normal PF TEK routine cept for the fact that I am cultivating from a field shroom. Most say that it is a risky procedure so I decided to try it. As well, I tried to use as little amount of extra equipment/steps/procedure to see how far I could bend the game. Instead of widemouths, I opted for recycled spaghetti jars I had lying around so I ended up breaking up the one successful jar and laying it out on just Verm. I pretty much wanted to experiment as if I had little knowledge/skill in cultivation to see how budgeted I could be in the process with success. Using everything I already had except the Verm and dollar tree syringe. I know that my odds were pretty low from the start because of the field print/syringe but it's fun to experiment with this stuff.
Update on the growth: Looks like I have a decent amount of pins forming in the substrate now! There does seem to be a pin size area of bacteria or mold. I'm just going to let the chamber do it's thing. Pics up soon.

Oh I see. Syringes at a dollar tree? Man you are some kind of lucky. I bet they even have 60 ml ones too.

That's really what I was boiling it down to. How much truth is there behind it being luck.. or can the results actually be repeated. I might do a second test. And I wouldn't even consider it a syringe ha. Technically it was a flavor injector for food. Think turkey baster.
