Hey everybody, my friend has a PF tek cake thats still in the jar and colonized somewhat slower than the others he had. there are a couple spots about the size of a quarter where the mycelium seemed to just grow around or grew very thinly on, the spots are a bit lighter color than the rest of the jar which is more of a bright white. Also there are several mushrooms that have started growing inside the jar against the glass and one of them is a greenish color but the rest look fine. Should he birth this jar and let the shrooms grow or is it likely that its contaminated?
Heres the spot I described:


Heres one of the greenish mushroom:

and heres a picture showing some of the mushrooms that have started growing against the glass:

Birth the cake. Let it be exposed to better growing conditions and then after a few days see what you have, most likely the mycelium just needs some fresh air.

Birth the cake, it's not contaminated. Next time, use 1/2 pint wide mouth jars per the tek. RR
