Hard to tell from the pictures but it could just be normal mycelium bruising from shaking the jars.

But occasionally when I simmer wheat grain at low temps. for a long time I get lots of grains with black edging. Almost like its burnt or caramelized but not yet exploded and over cooked. The caramelizing doesn't seem to affect my spawn. I've NOT had caramelizing with rye, its a little easier to over cook so I never get to that point.

Just let them sit for a day or two and watch to see if it regrows as it should.
Also, you should be able to smell through the filter without risking opening a jar. So, if the jar you opened turns out bad - don't assume they're all bad...

It looks like bruised mycelium, presumably from the shake. You should not open your jars to check if they're bad, because this is a sure way to make them bad.

bruising :thumbup:

you can tell it is if there's a marked color change only after shaking

they whiten in 2-3 or so days

DO NOT open the jars!! That is exactly how you contam a jar
