Looks like the rusty orange of metabolites to me. Take a better picture, and we'll know for sure.

Okay the arrows are pointing at yellowish/brownish/reddish spots. The top spot isn't as acute as the bottom one. The bottom spot is like a sharp dot of yellow/brown/red. Cake is 12 days old.

we need better pics could very well just be metabolites, but other then that state if they change in color or size.

I want to know why this cake is stil in the jar. it is fully colonized. The little brown spot is nothing to worry about. The cake is fine!!!

The cake isn't fully colonized yet. I'd say maybe 3/4 of the way through. The weird color is just on the side that grew the fastest. Now my question is should I be worrying about this? Like on the worry-o-meter is this like a 1 being don't worry at all or like a 10 worry a lot.
From what I've been reading since I've been introduced to the idea of metabolites its probably okay but its trying to fight off some bacteria or something?
Are there any measures I should take considering there's still 1/4 more growth to go?

0 on the worry meter. If it were at the edge of the mycelium/fresh substrate or on the fresh substrate than I would worry. I would also worry about the parts that are not colonized. There sure is a lot of sweat on the jar for a cake that isnt colonized

Here's what the rest of the jar looks like. No sign of red stuff on the substrate. All my jars are sweating a lot though. Not like its pooling at the bottom. It just seems like the cake is shrinking inside the jar or something. I just spooned the substrate in and didn't pack it down at all so as the mycelium takes over it like shrinks or something and leaves space between the cake and jar. I dunno.
Quick follow up question. Should I turn this jar upside down to help growth or just let it be?

i haven't tried it so don't take my word but I have read a lot of posts and it seems like people always say to flip over the jar if there is metabolites that far into the colonization.
