Looks contaminated to me.  MS can be kind of a crapshoot.  You can end up with jars that appear fully colonized but actually contain contaminants.  Results can vary from no issues at all to complete loss of a tub before any fruits.

Any chance you've lost your sense of smell from corona?  I'm kidding! (hopefully) 

Yea, it's possible for them not to have a strong smell.  I'm like 95% sure that's trich in the first pic.  If you have a place to put them outside, I've saved many a contaminated jar/substrate that way (assuming the weather is alright).  Mother nature seems to have a better handle on dealing with contams than I do.  Bury that bad boy in a shallow grave and check on it in a few days.

My tub looks exactly like that one! I would be interested to know what company you used. You can feel free to PM me. My tub is on day 12 and is not looking good. However, it does smell like mushies. I am going to wait it out and see what happens. I will either get some fruits or simply grow mold/contam. At least you have one good tub. I think it will eventually be a total loss, but that is what you do at the beginning of your mycology career, right? UGH...

You could get those results using MS from any vendor; it's just the nature of the beast.  Spore syringes typically aren't going to be 100% sterile, so it's recommended to germinate your spores on agar first, then move the clean mycellium away from any contaminants to a new plate until there are no contaminants.  From there, you can use that clean plate to make an LC or inoculate grains directly with pieces of agar.
