Contaminated?

I couldn't find any pic that matched this, is it contaminated and if so, what kind? If by some miracle it's not, I thought I'd fruit it in jar with a plastic bag. Will look up instructions for that. My other cakes got grated and appear to be happy in their coir shoeboxes. Very first grow so going along for the ride! Thanks.

To me it looks like mushroom stems growing against the side.. with fuzzy feet all around it

I had a pic which didn't upload, of the other side of jar with a pin without all the fuzzy. The reason I had fingers crossed it was ok was Id read about the sorts of things that can occur in order to bring nutrients to the little mushroom.

Hmmm to my rookie eye (never done pf tek) I think those are just mushrooms growing towards the air.. fuzzy feet usually happens on the stem of a mushroom when it doesn't have enough air.. I would just open it and smell it if it's completely colonized

How long has it been consolidating?
I concur that it looks like a stem and you should open it up/and birth that baby!

Yes! I have the cap of that mushroom drying as we speak, was blue I guess from being bruised against the lid, smells divine. Couldn't find details about steps to fruit in same jar ie birthing. dunking etc so this is what I've done and been only hours so sure I can change tact if that's the advice: Took off lid, gave good misting, covered with plastic bag with a few holes in it. An hour ago I re pasteurized some left over coir (from when making shoeboxes) made it over field capacity and placed on top of verm layer in the hopes of giving it enough food and moisture. I couldn't wrap my head around the idea of dunk roll and put back in same jar - but very happy to do whatever an experienced friend suggests.

You probably saw posts like this already on in-vitro, but if not: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11912026/fpart/1/vc/1/nt/2
Sounds good what you’re doing already, if you’d like to dunk and roll you could put in a fruiting chamber (different methods for this, eg larger glass jar as makeshift terrarium).

I didn't know this was called invitro, thank you. So I might stay as is and with any luck I'll get a harvest after which I'll dunk and roll for round two!

In vitro= in glass You’ll certainly have more luck searching with that term.
Staying as is sounds like a mighty fine plan 
Also, too good not to share, I stumbled upon RR’s very first post on Shroomery (16 years ago!) where he discusses using a jar as a shotgun terrarium. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/1410557#1410557
