Green spots after breaking up myc

I have some colonized rye jars. They look like somethings wrong with them. Most of them to one degree or another have spots where the myc is less brilliant and has not taken hold of the rye grains as much. These spots are scattered around the enitre jar and seem to blend in with the more brilliant myc. Over the past week the jars have started secreting metabolites. Some of the jars where inoculated over a month ago and all have been fully colonized for 2 weeks at least. All of the jars have cottony mycelium growing all over the glass above the rye.
I busted up a couple jars about a week ago and didnt notice anything except a mushroom smell, and the fact that most of the grains only had small spots of myc on them after the busting.
I busted up another today and used it for G2G. I didn't notice during the inoculation because I was so focused on not letting contams in, and its hard to see well through glove box. After I was done some kernels where still left in the jar. Took a closer look and I can see spots of green and or bluegreen on every singl kernel (along withe white myc). I busted up another jar and its the exact same thing.
Its not possible that what im seeing is just bruising is it? I am actulay red/green colorblind (can still see green but doctor did tests and said im colorblind go figure) so I wonder about these things, but the color is close if not the same as the color that mushrooms bruise. I realy beat the jars until each kernel was unattached to any other kernel.
At first I though it was trichoderma, but why wouldn't I see any green until busting. These where old jars. Any Ideas what this could be?

It's bruising. Green mold usually starts from within the jar. If you saw green on the outside kernels, the inside would have been like green dirt that emitted a puff of smoke when agitated. Of course, I can't say that for certain without pictures, but I can almost say for certain that it's likely bruising.
