Can’t tell if fully colonized - early pinning

Just wanted some opinions;
I had pure grain before, worked well, while “chunk” was very hard, and difficult to “squeeze”. This one is manure, rye grain and hay from OutGrow. It looks like it might be colonized...? I can’t tell, cause the manure doesn’t exactly “become pure white”, as the rye, or the pf I’ve done in the past. The substrate is a little pushy if I push hard enough, but there’s early pinning. I’ve shook it again, because the first time around I realized the three parts were still fairly separate. And even before shaking there was early pinning, so now, again, early pinning- does this mean it’s ready to take it out and plop it in the FC? I’ve never had this issue before. Thanks!
Here are some images

I know some parts look “browner” when viewed in-person, but the thickness of the bag creates a glare that makes some of it appear whiter than it actually is. It still has a softness to it when pushed, and likewise, it doesn’t have the “pure whiteness” of the other two projects I’ve successfully completed. But it does seem fairly well colonized, otherwise. Thoughts would be appreciated, thank you!

It looks to me that it's about 60-70% colonized and a bacterial. Early pinning without 100% colonization is a sign of contamination and pins are trying to fruit early before the contam reaches them.
That said, I'd still spawn it after it's colonized. Probably away from other tubs though.

Damn! That would definintely do it, huh?
My last one was bacterial, but grew a LOT of mushes. So regardless, I got a VERY good amount from the last grow. If this one is bacterial, I'd assume (I have one more bag in addition to this one) that one is too. I'll just risk it and put 'em both in the same FC.
So I should still let it sit, colonize (if it isn't already) and risk these guys that are growing currently? I'm fine with that. Worst case, I can dump it in a plantar, and continue. But I'm beginning to think my syringe is contam'd with bacteria or something; especially if you're thinking it looks bacterial. But regardless, it shouldn't stop me. I'm still gonna push through as the last one pretty damn bacterial'd and it grew a LOT. lol.
Thank you:)
