Is this grain jar contaminated?

There are little blue spots throughout the jar, I was wondering if this is just blue bruising of the mycelium or could it be the beginnings of contamination. I'm gonna spawn to bulk and don't wanna have it contaminate later. I guess I'll have to do the smell test to determine if its bacterial or not. Thanks for the feedback.

If it were my jar, I wouldn't use it. If you really wanted to use it spawn to a mini mono or a tray but I wouldn't risk it in a full size mono

Highly doubt you'll smell anything other than mushrooms.. that's a very small amount of "contamination". I always trust my eyes over my nose and I think you should too. I only use my nose for anything suspcected bacterial.

Yeah that's true. The last grow i did, i used a jar that looked a bit off but it didn't contaminate, i guess ill have to take a chance.

I just shook the jar and noticed more signs of contamination on individual grains. I'm definitely gonna toss this jar and just use two healthy grain jars instead.
