That's a strange angle for a photograph, but it doesn't look good.

It does help.
I see the mycelium butting up against something, what is it? It looks like mycelium from another species, a mold species most likely. The rest of the jar is indeed colonized by something, right?

Are you saying the other white stuff is something other than mycelium?

yea man that thing is fucked. i had that same contam on a few jars i bought pre-sterilized from some shitty vendor i found on google back when i very first got into the hobby and before discovering shroomery. the spongy looking myc on the bottom part of the jar is from bacteria. the black jagged line is probably some kind of mold. theres no saving that jar. i'd throw the whole thing in the trash outside.

It should look like clouds in the jars man. All this yellowy stuff makes me want to run and scream. So to answer your question, throw that jar out.

dude omg THROW THAT SHIT AWAY. ALL OF IT. any jar that has anything other than uncolonized (and healthy looking) sub, including yellow shit, brown shit, black shit, murky/cloudy shit, ect....any growth that is not white....throw it away! all those jars you've posted look fucking nasty and you know it; thats why you're posting about them. if in doubt, throw it out. those jars look like they have STDs

They're toast. Re-sterilize and then empty the contents. If you're a lazy bum and don't want to re-sterilize, make sure to empty it outside.
