First time...mycelium? contam?

Ok, so I’m pretty sure I injected these with a contaminated syringe (found a crack in it halfway through inoculation), but I’m wondering if these are at all salvageable. All my jars have dark spots in the substrate where I inoculated, but a couple of them appear to be growing something. Is that mycelium in the first pic? Second one looks green and nasty...
It’s been almost a week now. Thoughts?

What other details can you give? Looks like BRF + verm only? How long did you PC them for? Have you kept them air-tight the whole time after inoc? Hate to ask the spore source question but I've had some horrible sources in the past with nasty contams so it's also possible but the other details would help figure it out too.

second pic looks like contams to me. first pic looks ok if it’s all white. give it a few more days it should be obvious
there’s no real way to salvage contaminated jars, just toss out what’s inside & wash the jar

Yep, BRF and verm only (2/3 cup verm, 1/4 cup BRF, 1/4 cup tap water per jar).
I don’t have a PC, but I boiled them on the stove for 90 min with tin foil. Four of the jars get really wet, but the other eight seem ok.
I put micropore tape on the holes immediately after inoculation. They’ve been in an 80ish degree room the whole time.
Got the spores from mushroomman666 (sporetraders vendor). He seems solid based on the reviews.
Also here’s a link to a previous post with more details about the process I used: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/26799643

hey man no worries but i’m pretty sure you’re not supposed to mention vendors here as per the forum rules
i think boiling the jars may have been your main issue? you’re not really supposed to boil them as i believe it doesn’t get hot enough to actually sterilize the grains/BRF. when i did BRF i steamed them in a large ass pot on the stove for like 2-3 hours. the steam gets hot enough long enough to properly sterilize
