15 jars, 1 has black spots...what is it?

I did 15 jars following pf tek. B+, blue meanies, and treasure coast. Just birthed 9 of them. The treasure coast were a little slower to colonize. With all of them fully colonized, with exception to 1 jar that had a 1cm square spot in the center of the bottom yet to colonize, I left them alone for almost a week so they could consolidate. Pulled them out to check on them and one of the jars has some black spots that appeared. I dont know yet if they are growing since I just saw them for the first time. Hoping someone can tell me what it is???

Sometimes an anomaly will appear. Sometimes , especially since steaming will allow  certain contaminations as opposed to pressure heat treating jars of substrate.

I'm thinking they are aborts. They showed up at the end of colonization while I was giving them time to consolidate. Also, they havent grown at all since I noticed them nearly a week ago. Hoping to get an opinion from a TC. Found the shroomery back in 2013 and did tons of reading and research, then successfully "enjoyed the hobby" for several months before I got busy with life and had to put it aside for a while. Recently found myself with more free time and decided to give it another go, and on the first batch I get one jar doing something weird I haven't seen before. The thing is, I don't think its contam or mold because it isn't growing...so just wondering what else it could be? Or am I wrong?

I've gotten those, I call it mildew. May not be biologicaly correct though. Could be any black fungus. It's not photogenic enough to know for sure so far. Aborts look like pins but shrunken and navy blue.

Edit:
Whoops. Looks like you already had input from a tc. Ignore this.

So whats the difference between bacteria and contamination? Aside from,the fact that this isn't growing?

Ok. Thanks. So if it washes off, I'm ok. If it doesn't, toss the cake?
