Question about possible contamination with pics, and jar is ready

Hey again everyone i encountered something i have yet to see at a friends house, There is this fully colonized pf style jar that is ready to birth however it never seemed contaminated until recently, i noticed and area where the mycelia has growen out into a lump and is closer to the glass then the rest of the shrunken cake, also the cake has already started fruiting so i know it is time but if this is a contam i would rather pc it and destroy the contents, there doesn't appear green but a light blue I'm hoping its bruising but its hard to tell if the mycelia is actually touching the glass or just close , i know if it were pressing the glass it could be bruising , anyway ill let you guys/gals decide







in some of the pics you can see yellow looking areas these are the fruits pressing against the inside of the jar it just looks worse on the pic and note the black areas around the top, that is just where the vermiculite layer has fallen on the cake as it has shrunk but if you look closely around the middle you'll see the area in question its a bluish tint not under an inoculate point and didn't persist until that are was colonized for quite sometime,
so what do you think shroomers? and id like to thank you in advice for your help......

You really need to set the jars down to photograph them, and use a tripod or book to hold the camera. I see some off-color areas, but nothing that indicates contamination. It looks ready for birthing. If you can take a clearer picture, you can get a better answer.
