Cant tell what this is? Dark spot?? *** UPDATED PICS ***

I dont have access to a camera right now but if necessary I will post pictures at a friends place tonight.
I have a 1/2 pint jar that is 10 days into incubation. Under ONE of FOUR inoc holes where growth is occurring about 2 inches down from the top, the whole area(brf) around the myc growth seems MUCH darker than the rest of the whole jar. It almost looks like when making my jars and scooping the BRF inside there was a scoop or 2 or even 3 of some dirt Possibly a very dark green.
It looks like dirt is in my jar. Dirt surrounding one area of myc growth? Is this a contam? I have well over 3 dozen jars incubating and this is the only one that looks odd. The area is about the size of a half dollar. Anyone know if this is normal or know what this could be? thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

Green is bad. A clear, in focus picture will tell for sure. RR

You need to put your light at a forty-five degree angle to the jar, then take a picture with no flash. That will kill the glare. Just use a bright lamp or something.
That green spot looks like trichoderma. See if you can get a clearer shot. RR
