 odd color in jars

alright, i've done many jars in the past couple of years but i just recently started cultivating again. im using 1 pint jars instead of 1/2 pint like i used to use. its been about 3-4 weeks and most of the jars are almost done. however, lately i've been noticing something ive never seen before with my jars. there is a bluish, maybe slightly greenish, color forming inside the jars on the mycellium. I've never seen bruising in a jAr before - only after i cased has it ever occured. is it possible that this blue is, in fact, bruising? it is ONLY forming on the mycellium. it doesn't spread much at all, And it is never on the substrate itself. i flip over the jars every day to circulate air and maybe im being to rough with them or something. none of the jars were contaminated and the blue only started to come out within the last week or so. any ideas?

well im not SURE or else i wouldnt be posting, but ive never experienced contam like this before if it is contam. the thing that really got me thinking it's bruising is that it looks like the mycellium itself is chAnging color. the blue only appears in the middle of normal white mycellium. its never on uncolonized substrate, and almost all the jars have them. i never really used to shake them upside down to circulate air but other than that i can't think of any variable factors. the two strains are florida coast and mazatapec, both from the same supplier whom i normally gothrough. one wAs inoculated wtih a syringe, the other with a print. its really odd. i guess ill just have to wait until casing time (this weekend) to tell. thanks for the replies
