Noob, first grow, first contam, wondering what it is.

Hey everyone.  I inoculated 8 half pint jars of APE on 11/25.  7 of 8 look fine and are just a few days away from spawning.  Here are 4 pics of the last jar.  I am just curious what this is, so I will be able to recognize it in the future.


To give a little info, I used Pennington "Select Wild Finch Blend" WBS and used "Frank's WBS Prep (perfect every time)" tek.  When I was filling the jars I noticed that there were tiny little black dots mixed in (they looked like poppy seeds only a little smaller; I'm thinking it may have been the canary grass seed). 

Anyway, in case the pictures aren't clear enough (don't have a camera so used a phone), what I noticed is that about 65-70% of the WBS appears darker than the rest and there are little black dots spread throughout which appear bigger than the seed dots and stick to the glass.  They almost look like seeds that are swollen with water.  Also, many of the millet and other seeds have popped open, which wasn't the case when I filled the jars or when I inoculated them.  Here is another pic of the dots after I shook the jar:


It appears to be a mold, as the other jars (which also contained the small seeds) don't have this appearance to them.  I am just wondering what this is, so I know going forward.  I took it out of the SAB and am going to let it grow out for a while in a room downstairs and across the house from the SAB just to see what it does, but would like to know what it is.  Thanks!

p.s. I also find it strange that the other 7 jars are pretty close to spawning, yet this jar doesn't seem to have grown much (I used agar myc to inoculate it, so it is possible that it was growing in the middle and not on the outside, but a few of the other jars were the same and they are quickly spreading to the outside.
