Another Noob Contamination Question

Hopefully I did this correctly, if not, my apologies as I’m new to this hobby and this board.
I’m doing my first grow using pre-made rye bags. These were inoculated last Monday using premade LC syringes in a SAB using as sterile practices as possible for someone with 0 experience can. Small room, no fans or ac running, everything wiped down with IPA, flame sterilized needles, gloves, etc...They have been progressing steadily but when looking at them today I saw these two spots that seem to be different than the other growth.
If there is any other information that I can add that would be helpful, please let me know. Thanks so much for your time and I appreciate any insight y’all can provide.

You flame sterilized your gloves!?!? Lol. Jokes aside, your pics are very hard to tell what's going on... if you can get better pics I'm sure the great people of the shroomery can help ya out.

Oh yes, I’m penning my Flamed Gloves Tek as we speak, lol.

Hopefully this pic shows what’s going on a little better. My main concern is that the growth is thinner, less white, and it looks like the mycelium is growing around it as opposed to through it, it if that makes sense.

Yeah... that doesnt look like cube myc... how far along is the bag as a whole? Looks like the rest of the myc has a good hold. You might still get something out of it.

It was inoculated seven days ago. There’s still a ways to go before spawning it so I’ll keep an eye on it. Either way it’s concerning because it does have a different look compared to everything else going on in there.

That's what I'd do... if it's one of the nasty molds you'll know in a day or two... it could just be weird mycelium...

Hopefully that’s all it is. Either way, I’m learning. Thanks for the responses.

Had something similar looking in two of my BRF jars. Tossed it outside. It was mold for sure.

Thanks, man. I’ll hit you up once I get to that point. Just need to get through this first grow as a newb and see what I can pull off.

What I’m seeing isn’t quite as whispy as what I see going on in your jar, but what I have going on has only cropped up in the last 12 hours. I’ll see what it’s looking like tomorrow afternoon and post an update. Hopefully it’s nothing, but I’m pretty sure it’s most definitely something.

This is after shaking all of the bags 10 days ago when they were 30-40%.

The long black lines are from me marking the growth several days in just to see how fast things were moving. I’m assuming that’s a typical noob move? I’m leaning towards clipping that one bag a few inches above the grain and filling it in with coir to ‘top fruit’(?) it inside of a gallon ziplock in another space, unless this looks normal to the more experienced eyes.

Oh yeah...the sharpie outline lol. I did it with my first cakes 
That first bag? I'd kill it with fire. The top of it looks particularly unshroomy so even trying the top fruit might not do anything good. I'm liking the other bags though

It’s been rather satisfying watching the good myc surge past those lines. Heh. But I hear you on the first one. It’s had an off putting look for a while, which is why I marked it with a ‘c,’ for contam. Turns out marking it wasn’t necessary considering how different it looks from the others.
I may trash it, but throwing a few handfuls of coir around it won’t hurt just to see what happens as long as I move to the other side of the house, right?

Nothing wrong with that. Just watch for bugs getting in there, I've noticed they like contaminated stuff when I've kept them around and bugs are one thing I really try to avoid.

 I have to assume that this isn’t a good thing. Toss the two boxes where this is present or quarantine them and see what happens?
