New grower needs help for spotting Contamination

Hi everyone,
This is the first time I tried to grow mushroom using PF trek. Pressure cooked the jars and I was pretty careful not to contaminate the syringe needle. Been looking up lots of contamination pictures but I am still not sure if mine is ok. It's been around 5 weeks.
I probably didn't shake the syringe well and failed to make equal distribution either. Couldn't find suitable jars so just used clear glasses and wrapped the top with a few layers of foil.

I would start over and follow the tek to a T using the proper jars. You could try top fruiting those jars with a baggie on top but they don’t look great

Are those brf cakes?
that last set of 3 pics looks ready to birth, the 1st doesn't look 100% colonized yet. And the next two look like they are shrinking...dont know what that implies with these cakes

Don't throw them out! You already have invitro pins in pictures 3,5, and 6. Birth them gently and those should grow up to be good mushrooms. There looks like there is some strange stuff in some of those, but you'll still get a good amount of mushrooms by the look of it...

Both cakes are not fully colonized yet, there are two tiny green spots which is hard to see on the photo. I thought normally it takes around 2 months before you dunk it?

Yes, these are brf cakes. The first three photos shows the same cake, the last three photos shows a second cake.
