Think I have a contamination on an almost finished jar?

Hello, These blackish spots have appeared after 2 and half weeks, and they are only present on the inside surface of the glass jar. Are they are a contamination? And as the jar is almost finished is part of it salvageable?
The pinkish colour is where I drew around the spots but they have grown in size overnight.
Thanks

Potentially a contam, hard for me to say personally from these pictures. If it does turn out to be a contam your best bet for salvaging would be to bury it outdoors, assuming you live somewhere that will be suitable for an outdoor grow.

Thanks, the spots are pretty widely spaced out and there are none at the top of the jar so I'm not sure how they got to where they are if it is a contam. Can some species of fungus lay dormant and then start growing after a few weeks? None of the other jars have anything like this.

the 5th picture has a pretty good view of what I think is a sign of contam or a contam. On top and left you have good healthy growth, and under/right from there, you have this off white growth that looks contaminated with bacteria or maybe it's not mushroom mycelium at all, I can't tell from the pics, but it doesn't look right and probably won't colonize properly anymore. It might be useful in the compost heap.

Okay thanks for the input.
I opened the jar and mixed it with some compost/coir mix and will see what happens although I expect nothing. Jars smells like fresh mushrooms, really pleasant smell but it was probably bacteria.

Nope, ooh well. Put it down to experience. My other jars are doing well at least.
