Invisible contam? Uncolonized space in jars

My guess is this might be a bacterial thing. All other 3 jars prepared at the same time recovered normally and colonized fully after their shake. This one has obvious gaps where mycelium didn't grow after the shake.
Any idea what it is? If I shake and it recovers, can I use it, or is it best to throw out?
FYI these are pint jars with wheat berries.

I can't see anything wrong with them. You could shake, but at that point you should either just wait or spawn as is IMO.

From the pics it might doesn't look bacterial but that would be the only reason it wouldn't colonize.
If you were you I would either make an outdoor grow with it or make a shoebox with it. Don't mix it with your clean spawn

Probably mold. Shake again.......then pitch if it doesn’t fully recover.

Looks like bacteria the way the myc stops all of a sudden on a grain, along with random bald spots.

FYI for anyone reading this far: it turned out to be bacterial. Shook it and waited a while. Myc recovered somewhat; also some yellow slime developed.
My procedure for contam'd jars as I'm budget-limited: PC, dump outside, wash with soap, soak with bleach.

Might be cobweb mold definitely colonizing what appears to be uncolonized grains. You can see the grey.

If you're broke, just do the wash with soap part and move on. If I won the lottery I'd still only do that.
