Wondering if these spawn jars are contaminated or if it could be normal for spawn to bulk

Only my second round, so still very new! Would truly appreciate any help, have to move these to the fruiting chamber in the morning and don't want to put these guys in if they're contaminated! Thanks in advance! 🧞GT🍄GARGAMEL answered: Looks pretty bacterial… before you spawn it to bulk, get a careful whiff. If it has any sort of smell other than Earthy… maybe slightly urinal, it is very likely bacterial. Turn it upside down… if the space that forms at the bottom is foamy or slimy…
