Possible to remove mold?

Out of 6 nearly completely colonized PF jars, one has a very small amount of blue-green bread mold looking mold growing just below the verm seal, so little that I barely noticed it when I was examining the jars today. I was wondering if it would be possible to safely remove the mold after the jar finishes colonizing or if I should just ditch it? It appears to be contained by the myc around it.

ditch it.
do not open it in the house.
pressure cook the jar, open outside after, clean it out.
or just toss the jar away as is.

If it's at the top by the verm barrier, it sounds like your mix was too wet. The verm on top must stay totally dry. You also want to be sure to wipe down the glass above the substrate before putting the dry verm on top. Otherwise, contaminants will work their way down the glass into your brf. You can't save it so don't bother.
Watch the rest of them as well. When one is bad, the rest are going to be suspect. RR

Put the jar in a ziplock and tossed it. Thanks.
Problem had to be during inoculation, I prepared the jars a month and a half before I shot 'em up.

Well in that case, at least you know that your jars are good before inoculation. Thats a long time for nothing to contaminate those jars.
