First Time Grow - BRF Tek: Curious contams?

Long time reader first time grower here. B+ spores in BRF Tek. Everything was going well for colonization, nice white mycelium growing strongly. Over the past few days though I've seen some things develop that I don't see in a perusal of guides to common contaminants.

These arm-like things seem to be only in the dry verm layer and growing from above. It showed up first in one jar and spread to 4/8. It's been very hot and humid lately where I am so I suspect the dry verm layer was compromised by humidity . Also keeping them in the closet next to the bathroom where I shower may not have been wise.

This orange splotchiness showed up fairly recently as well, but only in one jar so far.
Hoping you guys can take a look, diagnose, advise how to move forward with mitigation if possible, and how to prevent in future. Thanks for your attention.

I can see a heavy contam at the top, it`s cubensis  You mean that with arm-like things?
Your jars arent`t the best for pf tek, as you have narrow mouthed. Hard to get them out in one piece. Are that quarts?
That is indeed fat mycelium and a bit bacterial. You could have spawned them already.

Thanks guys! I was following the advice to wait until the jar was fully colonized, then a full week after that. Wasn't gonna birth til Thursday. So the stuff in the top is just mushrooms pinning? Great news, big relief!

So if I were to leave them longer (I don't intend to) I would risk further bacterial contamination? And do I have to worry about the bacteria in the one cake contaminating the others during dunking/fruiting? Thanks again for clarifying
