Update: contaminated spawn, or bruising?

Hey everyone, the day before yesterday I noticed these bluish green spots in my jar of rice. When I asked the community here a couple people said that it could be bruising and not contamination. I am a newbie so I was surprised. Here’s where things stand now. What do you think? TIA.

So yesterday, I posted a picture of my grain spawn bag because I thought it looked like it might be contaminated. At the suggestion of one of the community members, I did a gentle break and shake last night. When I checked on it this morning though, there was a mushroom growing in the bag. I have no idea what to do. Help!

Novice grower here. I was looking at this bag this morning in anticipation of mixing it with substrate tomorrow, and I’m concerned that I’m seeing some contamination. It’s hard to see in these photos, but there is (maybe?) an area in the upper right of the grain where it’s a little grey and not white. Does this look like contamination do you? TIA.
