Possible contamination? Need some help identifying

Hey all! I've been trying get into growing mushrooms for the last few months and started inoculation ~ 1 month ago of some BHT and I kinda forgot about them and just recently checked up on them and a couple have started pinning and one has a huge shroom growing in it However, it looks like there is some possible contamination so I'd like some help identifying if it is indeed contamination and whether I need to trash them.
Some of the discolorations look like they might actually be pins pushing against the side of the mason jar, but there is one that is on the huge shroom that is making me question the whole batch.

They look like mushrooms to me, just smooshed up and wet. I'd get them in a fruiting chamber
I love that big one in there it's like a giant boa wrapping around

That looks like one of the weirdest growths I've ever seen, but uniform.. I would still isolate it and take a smell test, if it seems clean you might as well let it fruit in whatever chamber you have.

It is just me, or does the jar in the last picture not look fully colonized?

Top of the jar is dry verm, I was pretty uneven when spreading it out so it's probably just that :p

I don't see anything that looks like contamination in those pics. That mushroom is growing trapped inside the edge of a jar so it's ok if it looks a little funny.
