this is my first post on this board. i have been lurking for a while and just started my first batch of spores last week.
after 9 days this is what 2 of my 4 jars look like. the other do have nothing, i guess they were to warm when i injected the spores.
i am using organic brown rice in here and Treasure coast spores.
they look great as you can see

but 1 of these 2 has this red spot in it....it hasnt gotten darker in a few days, nor has it gotten bigger. any advice?

Mold. You need to toss that one out. If you want to save the jar, boil it for two hours before opening, or PC. Also, you need to get the foil off the jars so they can get some air. Welcome to the shroomery. RR

Just for reference, what mould would you say that is, if it is indeed some particular kind?

There's really no way to identify molds without microscopic observation. Some, like trichoderma are obvious, but others are not. They all get tossed out though. RR

Yeah, welcome to the shroomery! have a drink on me! 
Just fyi, RR (roger rabbit) is one of the few most knowledgeable (the others are probably roadkill and agar) and respected people here...take what he says word for word.
But yeah, definitely throw that out. No need trying to save it only to have it contaminate the other jars. Better to definitely lose one jar than maybe lose them all.
