I think it's contamination and it's on alll my jars. kinda saddening. but here's some pictures. You can kind of see dark white fuzzy dot's. sorry i'm not a camera expert. If anyone know's what it is, feel free.

it's just really cottony. not as stringy as it used to be, and the growth has slowed.

Everything is fine in this picture. No contams.
Colonization rate at this point when i did PF jars seemed to slow down for me as well.
It seems really fast whenever it first starts, and then seems to slow down. At least thats what i observed. It's almost maddening.

It can get like that. It is pretty common. Though some cakes might not develop that way, due to strain or what have you (always wanted to say 'what have you' to some one), but it is completely normal.
The mycelium will start out fibrous-looking and like lots of strings, but will start to develop a cottony, fluffy look to them. As long as the cottony-fluffy looking part doesn't look like it is separate from the mycelium itself, you should be fine.
The best way to see if something is a contam IMO, is to see if it is growing separate from the mycelium. It will have a sort of border around it on top of the mycelium. What you have there is 100% fine, unless I am missing something, or your picture doesn't show it accurately.
