Contamination or just bruising? B+ strain and Amazon Stain (Updated with pics)

I have 5 jars of Amazon strain that a bro and I knocked up last Friday night (8 days ago) I started to notice spreading 5-6 days into it. The color looks blue to me, is it possibly just bruising?
I have jars of B+ as well, they are doing well. I separated the 2 strains in different containers. I wiped down my containers with rubbing alcohol to be safe not to spread it to the B+ if the Amazons are contaminated.
I have high quality pictures but have no way of uploading for now. I will upload the pics to hear some opinions as soon as I can. Sorry no pics for now.

Until pics, it's going to be hard to tell. But with the blue you mention, it could be bruising.

I was just wondering if these are worth birthing or just getting rid of them?

Mold. Next time use the proper jars, and for crying out loud, put lids on them. RR

all 5 jars started growing the same blue mold at the same time and I immediately separated them from the 2 B+ jars when I noticed the blue in the Amazons, good thinking even though one B+ jar got contaminated with black mold. I'm thinking the Amazon spore print might be contaminated or I could have just messed up somewhere, I'm not trying to blame the guy I got the print from but I received the print from a fellow shroomer.
I was told to take off the lids after a couple of days but I'll keep the lids on next time, thanks for the response and advise RR. 
I`ll find a proper way to get rid of the Amazon cakes and start all over with a new strain.

i doubt that mold came from print. when you removed lids-you made great way for contaminations to your myc.
