Possible Contam...probably [Update]

Well one of my jars had just what appeared to be bumps in the myc, i kinda was hoping it was the start of knots or something.. But they were white, then i tipped jar upside down, and i could see that the bumps were against the glass and slightly yellowish, but barely.
then i walked away for about 1 maybe 2 minuts, came back and they were bluish greenish blackish

should i get rid of this guy? i seperated it from the other jars.
let me know what you guys think.
thanks.
[update below]
okay well i made a mini chamber for that cake, which i dont think it was contaminated but now theres a yellow area, texture is the same as the cake, and i mean all the cakes have parts with a slight yellow tint but this one is a TAD brighter,
Obviously the color is distorted in the photo and the picture actually makes the yellow more prominant than it really is

could it be normal? and the pins developing around it.. would they be okay if let to grow near that?
and in my shotgun im gettin some pins after a mere two or three days being in, hopefully by a week it will have an okay amount of pins, not quite sure if it gets enough light but we will see
Thanks again.

no way don't throw those away!!! THey are just blue from being pushed against the glass. Myclium can also turn blue like the mushrooms.

yeah i realized it was blued pins, i looked at my other jars and they have some mini pins smashed up against the glass, SO..
I am going to dunk all my cakes, and get my FC built while i do that, but i spent the last of my money on perlite and i have no more vermiculite, you think id be able to roll in the dry verm in the jars?
id imagine it would be fine, i mean since i've realized they were 100% iv flipped them around manytimes, the verm has moved between the cakes and glass and nothing is contaminated.
Anyways thanks for the input.

Ya, it's probably just bruised pinnage. That's just my opinion. As for rolling the cakes in the vermiculite from the dry-verm barrier......No! The dry-verm layer shifting around from handling the jars is a huge risk for contamination! (I've had a jar get contaminated that way. I made the dry-verm layer too thin and it shifted around when I handled the jar, dropping contams right down to the substrate.). You're lucky you haven't got a contam! (unless you have unkowingly). Think about it, the dry-verm barrier is there to catch bacteria/spores entering the four holes in the lid. Disturbing that layer at all while the cakes are in the jars defeats the whole purpose of putting that barrier there in the first place....As does rolling the cakes in it. You don't want to coat your cakes in bacteria/spore infested vermiculite. If that's the only vermiculite that you have, then you could sterilize all that vermiculite from the verm-barriers in the oven, 450 degrees fahrenheit for 30 minutes, let it cool, then use it.
Remember, cakes that are 100% colonized are LESS susceptible to contamination, but still susceptible! Don't underestimate how much contams that dry-verm barrier actually catches. You want to keep your cakes as sterile as possible, from germination to harvesting!
Maybe I'm just stating the obvious, but I hope this helps. Sorry for the rambling, lolz Cake looks good though! I think the slight yellowing will be fine. Maybe its from hydration problems or aging, or "mycelial piss". In any of those cases, the pinnage shows that it's not a severe problem.
Good luck!

Looks like bruising to me, but I can't say with absolute certainty due to the picture angle.
I really wish people would stop perpetuating the myth about trich being harmful to the human body.
