Your talking about the green stuff under your pretty white mycellium there?
Looks like mold to me. Sorry..
Wait for a better examiner than myself to come by if you want, though.

from the pics you got, i would say so. the green part of tich is its spores. so i would get those pf cakes as far away as possible at this point, they are a lost cause. what i am more interested in is how were they sterilized?? because trich in the jar is rare. did your "friend" use a water bath instead of pc'ing them? a clean syringe with an alcohol lamp? what kind of lid? foil or plastic lids with filter disk? and where is your "friend" storing his jars? maby with that information more advice will be available to you

Yeah they were water bathed, not PC'ed, I'm thinking that was the problem, unless it was already in the syringe. He used a lighter, not an alcahol lamp, metal lid with micropore tape cover the holes, and he is storing them in a TIT incubator.

yea.... thats where i would start get a pressure cooker, target sells a cheap rocker top one for like 15 bucks, doesn't hold much but has worked fine for me. then i would buy a alcohol lamp from myco supply or anywhere else, just make sure to use denatured alcohol. as far as the lids go has he thought about just using foil? i don't like rust in my jars, i don't think it hurts anything to be honest, but thats just me.
good luck!!;)
