First Starter... Pitched....Normal Growth??

First, Hello everyone! I've been lurking for quite some time learning stuff as I go. I've brewed 8 batches of Extract now. I have everything to move to AG but just haven't physically put the stuff together.

So the issue today is this....I decided to make a starter for the first time. I have a stir plate and flask etc. My yeast arrived to me last Friday in the 108 degree weather. WLP001. So this Friday I made my starter and was hoping to brew today (Saturday). I know that in the future it would be wise to chill and decant but I kinda wanted to brew today because I had time. So I brewed up a batch of Cluster Fuggle IPA. It was a day of firsts....I used my new burner outside, I made a starter, I made and used a hop bag holder, I have a better bottle primary, I'm using my basement at 66 degrees as my chamber. I have a few pics of the progression but the unnerving part is the immediate growth on the bottom of the fermenter. It's only been two hours....here they are
Just cooking....

14 hours of stirring....
An hour after pitching....

Am I worried for nothing? Never saw this before?

By the way, I used MR. Malty to figure out starter size. OG was 1.058 so it called for a 1 vial 1000ml starter.

?

Fermenter or starter?

Did you boil the yeast?

Not really sure what the question is.

The OG of the beer I was going to brew and use the starter in was 1.058. So I made a 1L starter with one vial of White Labs Cal Ale yeast. No I didn't boil the yeast.

My question is...is the pic on the bottom (of the carboy) normal after pitching a starter? After further thought and checking it ten times it looks like a giant yeast cake. But I just was unnerved by the visual. So I'm looking for a thumbs up that it's normal.

I went down this morning...and it is just about one bubble every 45-50 seconds. There are also the white colonies on the top. Looks like mold but I believe from reading yesterday that it's yeast colonies.

Looks like break material which is perfectly normal. Did you use Whirfloc or Irish moss?

I used a Whirfloc tablet. First time I've used one.

I just went down a few minutes ago and I"m feeling a bit better. There is visible activity in the carboy and bubbles every 8-10 seconds. So I would say it's headed in the right direction.

Whirfloc is most likely the cause of that strange looking stuff at the bottom of your fermentor. But that's a good thing. Whirfloc is doing its job!

ok thanks a lot! I appreciate your help. I figured everything was ok but wondered what the growth (or I guess it's settling) was attributed to. I initially thought it might have been the starter yeast being shocked and stalling or something. I"ll chalk this up to more experience.
