Toss? (2nd opinion needed)

Hello everyone,
I hope everyones grows are going well. I recently had some stalling jars so I re nocd one after 2 weeks no signs. So now it looks different. I know what healthy myc looks like and theres definitely a few spots coming in but the largest one looks kind of off maybe? I took the cap off and took a big whiff, but no contam smells just verm. I will probably just wait it out and see what it turns into but just wanted to check in on here as always since everyone is always a great help.
In other news as the temps get closer to inner spring having great flushes!

Looks fine to me. I would keep em.
The denser the cake, the longer it takes but the bigger the flushes (potentially)

No dry verm layer? Also, if you opened it and smelled it, probably compromised.

I just meant the texture of it. Like, did u use the typical recipe? Did u grind the rice urself? Just looks different to me than most pf cakes. Definitely doesn't look like trash tho.

Verm barrier of course always, I keep them tub in tub incubator. So I know they say never open the lid but i've done it before on past grows where I thought I say trych and the jar turned out just fine actually. Simple 4/2/2 pf ratio I grind my own brf and the verm is a little different in Japan but pfwise nothing fancy. Im still a novice although a year ago I was an all out noob lol, just glad Ive gotten to the point I have a groove that works and completely diy. No more spending on spores or screwed by bunk/old syringes fromcompanies because I make my own liquid syringes from the prints I make (I know agars the way to go but this is just easier at the moment and have all worked great. Currently just trying to get as much spawn ammo together so I can try my first shoebox/tub once summer hits. I'm no pro, and could never have got this far if not for this website. Just happy I came from buying 200$ grow kits to being completely diy with close to zero cost. Thank you everyone

Meh if you dont need the jars for something else just keep em going. Unless it becomes obvious its contam.

Its hard to tell yet, definitely dont toss em. Wait another week or two and see if the mycelium fills out more or for a contam.

I wont speak on contams because you'll get better input from others but I do wonder how your going to birth cakes out of those jars. I guess you plan to break them up into a shoebox or go invitro or something?

Thats correct, these jars are like 5cents so I just break em out each time (kind of a waste smashing jars I know but it works). (Ive done about 20 cakes successfully this method) Ive been trying to use bigger jars like pickle jars but those seem thinner? Or cant keep temp if that makes sense (or maybe im just impatient😂)

Give them a little time to consolidate. They still might make it.
