First timer here!
Sat 11/14 Inoculated 10 jars of BRF cakes each with 1cc (.25 across 4 holes). Placed all the jars in an opened cardboard box above my fridge. Thermometer next to box shows temp is staying right around 75 degrees.
Tues 11/17 First signs of growth! 

Hoping this isn't contam.. what do you guys think?

Welcome to cultivating! Look at that! You’ve got yourself some new mycelium! I’m trying to reach the finish line on my first grow... it started off looking exactly like that! Cheers and happy shrooming!

That’s great for 1 week.

Edit: are you wearing gloves because you’re handling the jars?
Save your gloves!

Yeah but mostly wearing them because I've been wiping the jars down with iso after touching them and don't like having it dry out my hands lol.. this is my first attempt so trying to be as careful as possible

Never hurts to be safe, but once the jars are sealed tight and as long as they have a good dry verm layer they are pretty contam resistant. Mine lived on the floor for a good while, I'm not even sure I had micropore over the holes either...

I ordered from derp.. the syringe was loaded with visible clumps of spores so maybe that's why they're growing quickly?
Good luck with yours!

12/7 Update
Several of the jars have colonized nearly to the bottom, except the top halves are contracting so much that the top layer of vermiculite is falling down the sides. Is this fine or is it more likely to contaminate because there is no layer on top?
What do you guys recommend?

looks fine to me. the tops always colonize first, then the bottoms. dont forget to wait a week after 100% colonization before you take the cakes out of the jar.
