Pinning in jar + orange specks on substrate

Hi all,
First post here. I used the PF BRF tek and what seemed to be a good sterilization procedure but it's resulted in one of the partially colonized jars pinning near the verm layer. In an attempt to speed colonization of the bottom of the jar, I flipped it on its head and gave it a whack, and 24 hours later (whether or not related to the flip) I'm noticing tiny rust colored dots on the uncolonized substrate. What's the best move from here? Should I wait to see if the mycelium colonizes the apparently contaminated substrate? Or birth it now and wash away the uncolonized substrate before fruiting in the jar?
Thanks in advance.

Personally I have gone both routes on this waiting vs just birthing a questionable brf cake. I would say realy it just depends on what's most important to you. Fruit now ... Or fruit later and possibly more fruit. Personally I would just fruit it and keep inoculating more cakes every week.

These things infected me... and now I have to  grow them.

Birth it and scrape off excess BRF to avoid cotams.

Please do not 'whack' or shake your pf jars. You could potentially introduce contams that have been caught up in the dry verm layer. If you plan to spawn it to bulk instead of a SGFC, let it colonize, dump the verm layer, and then shred/shake/whack away and mix with sub.

Also, please do NOT put that cake to fruit. It is not fully colonized and will most likely contam. It looks like you're using the tall pint jar which are notorious for stalling out early and causing issues like this. I recommend getting the short fat pint jars that this tek calls for.

I would ignore the fruit inside and let it continue to colonize. Worst case, the cap opens and it spores on your cake (not a big deal).
