Trichoderma/contam or blue bruising/dehydration? BRF cake

Hey guys, so i'm a month into my first grow (GTs via MS syringe + brf cakes) and upon checking my jars today I noticed 2/9 jars have a small bluish spot in the middle of the colonized cake..I inoculated through micropore tape on 6/29 and kept them in a drawer, temps 74-80. They colonized nice and fast without any contams/problems maybe just some excess condensation. I'd say they were 95-100% colonized about 9 days ago so plan on birthing them soon...there's some substrate sticking to the bottom of the jars but pretty sure the bottom is 100% as well..the cake shrunk and is sucked in a little...i'm just very worried about these blue spots that just started to appear today..anyone? much appreciated
 the last picture was 9 days ago

i use to give my cakes 7 days consolidation timed from when they reach 100% regardless if pining or not. just cuz its pinning invitro does not mean they are colonized completely through. sometimes shit will pin when fighting a contam to try and reproduce while it can so to say. but i dont think thats the case here they look pretty healthy but its always good to be sure they are 100% all the way thru.π

ok so another jar is now showing the same blue spot as the other two ..the spots didn't get much bigger or grow ..pretty much the same as yesterday..I think i'm gonna birth them today as the cakes are sucking in (theres a gap between glass and mycelium)...I had to mix the brf substrate twice so maybe one of the mixes was a little drier..I read to swab the blue spot with a q-tip and see if any blue comes off and if so then it's a contam..i'll probably do that too just to be sure 100%

sorry to bother you again but I have a quick question as you're a trusted cultivator ..I birthed the jars today and they were indeed 100% + consolidated, held together nice and firm and smelled of really good mushrooms. I also q-tipped the blue spots and nothing came off so bruising it is . anyway one of the jars (out of 9) had wispy white mycelium in the dry verm layer upon opening up..like it was growing up and trying to colonize the barrier..i didn't think anything of it and continued to wipe it off/dry verm layer and dunked it with the rest of the cakes..this is normal in some cases right? i'm getting paranoid that it could've been cobweb mold or something ...and if it was is my whole grow screwed? Thanks
