Hubris most likely

So, just wanted to check in. Are these even worth trying to finish fruiting or should I toss these bags out too? Many lessons learned in this first grow. I will be taking it back to the beginning, scaling down substantially and using mono tubs next round. I’ve learned the tough lesson that hubris has no place in this hobby. I had been a commercial marijuana grower for years and was over confident in my ability to research and execute things effectively the first time. Tough lessons but I’m glad I learned them.
Here are the bags. Some are extremely bacterial. Others are only slightly. What are your recommendations? I really appreciate any feedback. I humble myself to the collective!

If you aren't in need of the space they would take, if it were me, I'd probably fruit a couple of the best looking bags (you'll probably get at least a few fruit). Clone those to agar, and you'd be in a pretty good (some hopefully contamination-free clone mycelium that you know will produce fruit).
I don't think you mentioned how you started your bags... was it just straight multi-spore inoculation? If so, it's a good lesson... just assume 100% of spore syringes are bacterial.
Either way, people grow out worse looking contamination and get some fruits. However you will be amazed at how much bigger flushes you will get when it's not contaminated.

Thank you for the input! I went from syringes for the first time. I plan on starting my next run with agar and making sure to do enough transfers to make sure this doesn’t happen again. I swore I was on top of my sterile tek throughout the whole process. Even spawned to bulk in a SAB inside of a still air room that i sanitized the fukkkk out of.
I let them colonize in bulk for 4 days without burping them and the. Started burping them once a day. Then they got fuckeddddd as you see. I made a few mistakes after that including using a paper towel to try and soak up some of those areas and I got a mix up in misting bottles and didn’t use my clean bottle with purified water.
I think I also increased the FAE too soon and was burping my bags twice a day to try and evaporate off the metabolite areas. There is pooling now in some of them from my partner misting then too much. Lol so it’s been a bunch of issues once the bags were opened.

I just went back and looked at my logs... Out of 11 syringes of different varieties, 8 were *definitely* bacterial (like the nasty boogers after 24 hours), 2 were *probably* bacterial and I think 1 might have miraculously been clean. Anyone who expects clean spore syringes is crazy... you are taking spores from a fruit that has been growing in open air... it's a borderline miracle to get one that is clean just by nature of what they are.
You can grow with bacteria (and a lot of people do), but your yields will be far better with clean mycelium. Most people are just happy to inoculate with a MS syringe and they are stoked to see a mushroom in the end.
