Hey so I was checking in on my second container and the patch in the center left side of the container. Is that contamination. Please let me know. My other container is getting a weird smell I think but everyone says it looks good. The first picture is the one I'm worried about the most

It looks like trich unfortunately, but you'll find out sooner than you think

There is no color change? So I dont know if it is trich. Ill just give it some time I guess an if it gets worse ill just throw it away. I'm gonna be so mad if it is contam. I did everything to be sterile. I even sprayed the air down with bleach water to kill any spores in the air.

it's perfectly normal to get contam even if you do everything right - it just happens more when you are a beginner and less and less as you get more experience. What is your process?

My question is what makes it look like trich. There is no color change and no white like bubbles forming. I looked up tons of pictures of it and none of them looked like mine. When I rechecked it just looks wet in that area an the mycelium is laying down from being super wet.

when you get trich a few times, you know what it looks like even before it turns green. I agree with the diagnosis.
The distinct border with healthy myc, different texture and slightly different color white are all indicative of contamination. Trich is the most common. Other molds would usually show up in your jars before spawn.
If you're really far along and really determined to keep it, you can try a bit of surgery to remove that section, I've had hit or miss results doing that. Another option is to cover that patch with salt and hope it stalls it enough to get some kind of flush.
