Is this normal or no? Other ones look perfectly fine with tons of white mycelium and it hasn't even been a week sense they were injected...three caught my eye one looks blueish greenish and other two have dark grey

From anything I have read, if it's not white or you are in doubt toss it out! Better to start over then to spread contamination.

it should never look like that- toss them and try not to breath anything in while doing so

I think it is a fusarium - can't be sure though.

I think tossing jars out is a waste of money and is just plain wasteful.

Why not PC/Steam sterilize your jars,toss out the contams, and keep the jars?

Because opening them increases the risk of you breathing something toxic. The risk of that is not justified by the reward of getting a jar.

If you PC/ steam sterilize the jar before opening it, it will kill anything that is in the jar.

I had purchased pre sterilized jars from budresearch they came right from the univ of MI...the ones that are dark have the mycelium growing now? Should I let them finish and take them out back?

you will contaminate your growing space if you open them, you will spread spores everywhere and it is doubtful that your mycelium will survive outside or elsewhere - someone failed in sterilization or your syringes were contaminated - it happens.

I beg to differ.

I got a 12 dry grams from a contaminated monotub grow I buried.

And I am till getting mushies every four weeks or so.

Congrats - now, was it as contaminated as the jars shown?

Yup the grow had trich.

As far as how contaminated it was I am not sure as soon as I saw green I tossed it.

In nature there is always competition, it's a nice grow.... but the guy with the grey jars is best off forfeiting his jars rather than contaminating his home or his growing area.

I took them in the garage to open the four that looked weird now it was not blue or green it was a grey color and my whole garage smelt like mushrooms after breaking them apart..none of them stank I decided to bury them out back the other 2 are almost fully colonized and they were from the same batch of spores and pre sterilized jars
