These appeared at the top of my jar and I have not a clue as to what they might be. Myc seems to still be growing and colonizing the top but still, I am suspicious of contamination.

The speckled dots make me think yeast, but I'm not sure.

I've seen similar things happen to me if my lids have too big of a hole and start drying out the grain.

On second look, the dots are probably from a previous shake, i see the grayish blobs now, and now I have no clue.

The grey blobs are out of focus myc coming up from below. My camera + flash = shitty photos for the most part. I was thinking they could be from a prior shake too. However, I noticed those 2 days ago and they have not really grown at all.

As far as determining what went wrong, I'd look at your lid and grain prep. If you're not having problems with anything else, it could be a filter failing or some improperly hydrated grain.

How I would handle it (not recommending you to do it)

Wait 2 days - see if the myc takes it over, if it does, wait till fully colonized and give it a shake and wait to recover before putting to bulk

If nothing happens in those 2 days, shake, hope it recovers, spawn alone separate from other grows.

If it doesn't recover at any stages, throw a 1/4" of coir on top, fruit it right in the jar and see if you get a flush.
