What is this? Black dots in grain jars

Hi there,
first post here, unfortunatelly in the contam forum. Read a lot in this forum the last weeks. I'm a beginner with all this and now doing some rye grain jars. Had build a SAB, used lots of alcohol (for sterilization issues, haha ), flame-sterilized the needles after each jar on inoculation, PCed the water I used for creating the syringes from two spore prints with B+ and Cambodian, PCed the jars and so on, wearing a bacteria-mask and gloves and so on, just everything I found here and there.
So, 2 days ago my jars were about 40% colonized, everything looked good and I shaked them. Now, they started to colonize again and I see some black dots in many jars. Mostly, thea are in the middle of such a "mycelium cluster" where many fibers come out. (Sorry about the wording, im a noob )
Just look at those pics, any idea if this is a contam?

Could that be just some dirt coming out of exploded grains that came out during the shake? Before, I did not see any like these...
Thx for your help!

I think you're fine..the mycelium looks healthy and the grains aren't too wet or creamy looking..plus they have recovered well from the shake, so at the moment all looks good

Hey, thx for your answers. Maybe what I see is just the grains touching the glass. I may have become paranoid by all that waiting and cheking them twice a day...
