Lipstick mold in PF Jar?

To start off I followed the PF tek to the best of my abilities (did substituted rice flour for rye flour due to availability) making these little creatures and after inoculating them within 3 days there was the white growth on the two jars in question (each from only one injection site) while none of the other jars showed any signs of progression. Now 8 days in the other jars are showing moderate signs of colonization while these two have taken off on a crazy, ugly rampage... From the research I've managed to conduct I'm thinking lipstick mold might be at play here? I've read posts where people say there isn't a problem and other where I should toss and sterilize everything or else I'll contaminate my whole house... a small discrepancy. I'm leaning the toss and sterilize direction, anyone want to share their opinion?

Thanks for the replies, it's what I had figured the solution was.
Follow up:
I put the jars into the pressure cooker last night to kill what ever was growing, took them out into the frozen wasteland of my back yard today to see the full picture of what was inside. It seems like the mold was growing up through the dry vermiculite layer. Is it common for the vermiculite layer to colonize or does this indicate that my dry layer wasn't that dry and this is likely the source where the mold entered the jars?
I'm using a purchased spore syringe (B+ variety) and 2 out of 3 of the jars from that syringe grew the mold so I'm giving the possibility of a contaminated syringe as well.
