Need some expert advice about one of my BRF jars

Hey Shroomery!
This is my first post and also my very first grow.
Jumping ahead of myself I ordered the MWGK Mega Kit and 30 sterilized BRF half pint jars when in reality, I should have just read the forums prior and made my own equipment at a fraction of the cost.
I created a still-air glove box to inoculate my 30 BRF jars with B+ from sporeworks. Knocked 12 of them up on the 29th (Thursday) of January and now 11 days since inoculation im seeing some strong mycelium growth. I also inoculated the remaining 18 BRF jars about 3 days ago and have seen no signs of growth at the inoculation points as of yet, but i imagine that should start within the next few days.
I made sure to keep everything as sterile as possible in a closed air environment using the glovebox, but one of my BRF jars from the original 12 that I noc'd are showing some signs of coloring. The pictures don't do it justice, but it looks like the start of green mold and I wanted to get some advice from someone who knows what they're talking about.
Here's a picture of the jar in question:

And here's a jar from the same batch, same syringe on the same day (looks pretty good to me, though this is my first time so any input is great):

And both jars together:

Should I remove said jar from the rest of the grow area and isolate it for now or should I just go ahead and toss it?

First jar has a green dot. Take it out side, open it under water, PC it! Any one of these options before you open it. It looks like it has multiple contamination's, the mycelium being the bright white, the off white and green might be the same thing.
Other one looks amazing.

Thanks for the advice MikeBearPig!
I figured it would be best to get rid of it, but until I got a response, I went ahead and isolated the jar and put it in my garage in a new sock soaked in iso. (lol)
I'm actually planning on either using pre-sterilized spawn bags or making my own grains with quart jars for bulk spawn on my next grow, so i don't really see any need to hang on to these half pinters.
Do you think it's best to just throw the jar out completely rather than bringing it back into my house for PCing and taking the chance of spreading any spores?

Also, your monotub profile pic looks amazing. That's what I want to do on my next grow with a martha GH setup. Any advice on grains, substrates, casings or teks you used in that setup would be greatly appreciated.

I usually just toss my infected jars, its extremely wasteful.. w/e
That was a tray in a SGFC, thank you

If i threw away all my contamed jars i could have built a biodome with all the glass. I just stand up wind and dump out. Rinse it with the hose and then take it in and wash with soap and water.

I wouldn't bother doing that in the future. Besides it probably not doing anything, ISO evaporates pretty quick so it's probably just a waste of good ISO.

Thanks for the advice! I'm going to start a new thread with a grow log and i'll keep you guys updated with the link.
Still considering whether or not i'm going to break up the BRF jars and spawn to bulk or just throw them in an SGFC and hope for the best yield possible from the cakes.
If you guys have any advice on that, that would be much appreciated!
