This sounds a bit unusual, have you got any pictures of it as it is now?

The colors in the picture are all a bit skewed toward the blue\green due to the camera I'm guessing, but I think I can make out what you mean. Before you put the jar lid down on the perlite, was it totally clean? My initial thoughts were perhaps you had some uncolonized sub caught in the seal.

What does the bottom of the cake look like? Nice and white still? Fully colonized cakes tend to be pretty resistant to contam. Personally I'd take that lid carefully into a bag in situ and wash it outside the house, scrub it clean with bleach, or just throw it, then take my cake and give that a good rinse under the tap and rub of any specks of dirt etc, but not the verm, and then set it back down on a fresh lid or piece of foil and see how you go for the next few days.

Any green growth starts to appear on the cake, and be careful not to mistake blue bruising for mold, post it back here.

Update, i hope the top is bruising, however on the second picture there is a dark spot right in the center of the pic behind the white. is this bad?
