I’ve seen a bunch of different information so when propagating golden pothos what is this clear jelly over the root and do I need to be concerned with it ?

Based off of another plant community from reddit, it’s bacteria, that can lead to root rot. You can add a tablespoon if you’re worried about it. What I noticed is if I let them propagate in the same water for a month the roots grows better :)

I am no sure what it’s but i noticed them too, i didn’t worry much about mine and it did pretty good on their on, i didn’t change the water i just keep topping it off when it was low
