LC contam question, just worried

So I made 3 LC jars and put 1 cc of B+ spore solution from ralphsters in each one. That was about a week ago. Right now I have some little poofs of white stuff chilling at the bottom that I mix up a few times a day. I dropped some new nuts and bolts in as an agitator, I don't have a stir plate yet.
A couple days ago I was stirring one of them and the micropore tape got wet so I set that one aside and am considering it a loss, am I correct in this?
My other concern is that a few of the white poofs have black dots in the middle. They are in both of the jars that I was sure were safe but not in the one that I thought could be suspect to contamination from the wet micropore tape.
I am really hoping they aren't contaminated because I only have 1 cc left of spore solution in the syringe after making those 3 jars and 6 pf cakes. And if the cakes that I just got done cold dunking, crumbling and casing yesterday don't fruit and these are contaminated I will be out of genetic material to try again.

The black dots, if they don't grow sometimes are just spore clumps that are easy to see with a myc background. You should be fine. The LC touching the tyvek is not gonna ruin you. It just can increase your chance of contamination.

Alright, thanks. I am just a bit worried because it is my first time and all. I am taking some pictures right now, you can't really see the dots but you can see the white poofs to make sure those look kosher.

The white poofs look fine. The black dots I would watch. If they increase you're probably facing contamination.
