First timer, seeking advice... Plus pictures!

Hello! First off I want to thank everyone here for creating a great academic environment to allow people into the cultivation process.
This Is my first grow and have been lurking these forums for months. Soaking the information got me eager to try myself. I decided to start with the PF tek. I followed the RR videos and the tek to the best of my ability.
So I inoc'd 8 1/2 pint BRF jars. All went well and all made it through 100% colonization.
After I had waited the consolidation week, I birthed some cakes. Others took a few days longer and I let them sit longer than the week period. Through this time I noticed the jars kinda had a glistening to them. It didn't seem like much of a problem at the time and when I birthed, there was no sweet or sour smell.
Now in the fruiting chamber things have moved a little bit slower. I got used to reading the cakes a bit and giving them what I thought they needed.
FC : 
Temp stays around early 70's and the humidity from the crappy reptile gaugage is always at 100-90% (I know these arent always the most accurate)
Pins came, some aborts, didn't think much about it until my biggest pins looked like this today
First:

second:

To me it looks like the veil has broken away from them both, exposing the premature gills.
I had been bottom watering a little bit when I noticed the flush of pins coming in, making sure not to have the water sit for longer than 24 hours. But I looked on the bottom, and some cakes have this clear, non smelling film on the bottom... Is this what I saw in the jars? Baccilus?

better picture showing the slime line...

So this is where I need your guys experienced advice, I need as much constructive criticism to grow in this hobby, my few questions are this...
1. I'm guessing I should carefully remove from the bunch, are the ones not slimy salvageable? Or are they all contam'd from spores in the air?
2. I PC'd the correct time and had a nice SAB with MS syringe from a trusted spore trader. What can I do to avoid this in the future?
3. I've been starting agar work to ensure clean spawn next grow. Can I use any of these fruits or pins from this run to inoc a plate with some good genetics for the upcoming grow? I'm thinking of muda's bottle tek then after than transition to a tub.
4. I'm guessing these small fruits should be thrown away and not consumed?
Thank you guys for reading this post and helping noobs like myself. Hopefully I can also contribute here someday as well. Here is a pic of a nice little pinset next to the bad looking slime 

TL;DR Cakes growing/acting weird, wanna know if any are salvageable. Also advice on maybe using a pin from this grow on agar. thank you all.

Naw I don't see any signs of contams. Its an MS grow, so probably just some mutant pins. It happens. Everything looks fine, just be patient for your pins in the last picture to grow out, they look great.

Thanks mate, would you pick the small fruits now? I think I'll also get onto putting a pin on an agar plate.

Pick the aborts when you know they are aborts- if you want to... It won't hurt anything.
Dehydrate those potent little bastards and save them for a rainy day!
I see nothing wrong with the cakes at this point. You'll see some weirdos here and there when growing from syringe.
Give it some time like Munch said - that's a decent pinset you have and I'd be willing to bet those little guys are gonna grow up soon.
