Is this contamination?

Hey guys, I inoculated this sterilized grain bag 13 days ago. This is my first time growing. Temp has been perfect 70 - 80. I was as sanitary as possible during the inoculation -- still air box, gloves, alcohol, hot needle etc... Anything input from the community is appreciated!

Yeah you have contamination. Did you inoculate with a spore syringe?

Damn... yes a spore syringe, I heated it to red hot before inoculating. All done in a SAB, cleaned the crap out of my kitchen and sprayed everything down with alcohol beforehand. Thanks for the quick feedback! I'm bummed

Typically spores to grain are a bad idea because the spores are not contamination free.
If running spores without doing agar, I would suggest BRF cakes.

Outsourcing a clean LC syringe is another way to go... but you would never know if it was truly clean unless you tested on agar or just put it to grains.

Ultimately, spores to agar are the way to go. That way you have clean mycelium you can transfer to sterilized grains worry free.

Got it, that all makes sense based on the research I've done myself over the past month or so. Luckily I have some BRF cakes going as well. I really appreciate your feedback and you taking the time to help me out! Thanks very much
