WBS Contamination (Grayish mold!?) *Pics*

First off, I want to say I am a new poster, long time lurker and grower. I've been growing now for a few months and for the first time am staring to have Contam problems. These jars are WBS, where I did a WBS to WBS transfer (obviously very sloppily) and I have some odd contamination. These jars are Quart jars and I noticed that with every single jar the contamination seems to spring up all over the clumps of Sunflower Seeds in the mixture of birdseed. It's almost as if I have some sunflower seeds clumped together in my jars then I am doomed. I have had this happen be for but never to all of my jars. It is quite frustrating to know I'm going to have to start all over.
So I figured I would show some pictures and receive any Tips/ideas from you more experienced guys on what might be my problem. I just find it odd that this fungus always starts growing on the Sunflower seeds, and it is grayish not Green like I hear most people talking about.
Here they are.

have fun cleaning those. Did you pressure cook them?

That's some nasty stuff. The mold was probably picked up from the air during your grain to grain transfer. I'd pressure cook those jars before opening to clean them out. RR

yeah a pc'ing would be good. I would think you would get away with a 1/2 hour to knock down most of those.

Doubtful but the spore load that would be released could be devastating

Wow, thanks for all the replies. It really sucks to have to throw all these out and start over again. Good thing I made a spore print a while back. Only one problem, where might I get a large syringe?
Well! Time to pressure cook!
Thanks again!

you ever hear of the interenet??? There is this cool search engine called Google. Go there and there will be a box where you can type things like gaping anal sex, homemade nuke, moms chicken pot pie, and even SYRINGE. From there you will be able to buy one

A simple "Just search on the internet and find one man" would have been sufficient, but thank you.
