That jar is not healthy. See how thick and milky the myc looks, and it's stalling out on an entire section of the middle? That jar is headed for the trash 100%. Sorry.

I don't get it, the myc looks fine to me? It's exactly how my other (totally colonized) jars look, and how my past healthy jars have looked. I've attached a pic of the other side of the jar. I personally don't see an issue with the myc.

so why post?
theres obviously a problem if the myc refuses to colonize a certain section. Judging by the mycelial edges around the area in question, i would suggest theres a problem. the mycelium is not colonizing it for a reason, most likely because something unwarranted already has a grasp on it.

I don't think there's contam, I think the myc is fine, I've just never had a jar stall like this before and don't know what my next step is - do I spawn anyway, spawn without the uncolonized rice, what should I do?

Throw it away OP, just trying to help. If your other jars are better than this one you don't want this one messing the others up assuming its headed for a monotub. If it's going to a shoebox then sure take a shot. Long shots pan out sometimes. This long shot looks like it's going deep though...
It is bacterial. I have had enough bacterial spawn to see that clearly. I just can't say if there is anything else hiding in there. The fact that it's not colonizing that section doesn't bode well though.
I have, and you certainly CAN get mush from bacterial spawn sometimes, but its looking pretty slim in the hope department for a jar to be that bacterial, not even close to fully colonized, and not contaminate before the first flush, let alone perform well enough to justify wasting more time, effort, and the necessary supplies trying to spawn something that is much more than likely destined for failure.
It's better to chalk it up and try again if you ask me, but people will do what they will. When each jar means the world to you like it does in the beginning of your myco career it is natural to find yourself holding onto the last straws of hope that you can. The heart wants what the heart wants. I get it. I was you at one point. We have all done it I think.
Blessings on your journey!

Hey OP, here’s a pic of a jar of healthy mycelium; the edges are fluffy and/or whispy:

And here’s a pic of a bacterially contaminated jar of mycelium; notice how the edges are thick and creamy, like melted ice cream? This is more what your jar looks like, and that fits with the halt in colonization as well:

Your jar is contaminated

That jar is fucked.
Like they said it’s way too solid and creamy. It’s supposed to look fuzzy.
