Opinions please. one of these jars looks wrong

Hello, So, as you can see the jar in the middle doest quite look like the other two. Is it contam or tomentose growth?
This is after a shakeup at around 30-40% growth. The jar on the left is by far the fastest, right is second and third just looks fuzzy.
Background - This was a spore syringe to agar. all three plates were clean and showed no sign of contamination. I made some transfers to other plates but I decided to put each agar plate with to grain and use it to clone. There were so many spores on the plate, I figure they will sort themselves out and the best strains will win when I put them to bulk. I will then use the good looking ones as clones - makes sense to me anyway. Each agar plate got its own jar. That was 20 days ago.
The last two shots are the close up of the jar in the middle. As you can see there is growth, just very different from the other two.
Thanks for the help. P
Middle jar

she cant tell anything is wrong with the pictures.
but usually what she looks for in the mycelium is the little root looking things. mold and others will not have that look.
also she looks for discoloration in the grain. is there parts of the grain in the jars that apears to be darker then the rest?
shers usually turns black or a lot darker with contamination she believes its from cobweb mold usually.

I second that, it looks like fuzz more than mycelium roots, but I did have a jar start out like that which then firmed up into actual mycelium a couple days later. Id move it away from the other jars if your jar is vented, and just keep an eye on it for a week or so, I hate pitching jars that are fine, but I hate ruining tubs even more.

Often times the shake can reveal a hidden contam. If you gotta toss it toss it. Everyone gets contams
