Cobweb, Myc, or both?

Any chance any of you's can help me out over here, im not getting much love in the contams forum.
And it is cultivation related as well (recovering from contams).
Cheers.

I see no cobweb there, looks like myc. If that jar you opened wasn't done colonizing, that was a good way to possibly get cobweb.
Looks like your only contaminant is worry. Just chill out.

If you guys say so. Ill spawn to coir in the next few days then.
I still really think it was some form of cobweb on top though - it was just so fluffy and whispy. And look around the rim of the jar where a few grains have stuck, are you really telling me that is mycellium growing from those singular grains?

Yeah, that's what you inoculated the jar with isn't it? Of course that's mushroom myc.

Your good to go man, mycelium will often develop a fluffy/fuzzy appearance anywhere that humidity is high and air is still.

Hahaha ok, I trust yas.
This is only my 2nd grow, 1st was BRF spawned to coir (and it's still colonizing the coir). Its just that the BRF myc was so much more ropey and solid, I thought this must be cobweb mold. But I guess the dry verm layer in PF style BRF jars prevents the myc from growing on top, and BRF is much more compact, so I wouldn't have seen this type of myc growth in my 1st jars anyway.
As for the 1st guy that said to mist with H2O2 (in the linked thread), that wouldn't have caused any problems right (apart from maybe slowing the myc growth a bit)?

Not really, atleast I dont believe. If you are ever misting to fight cobweb, you really dont want to use a 100% concentration anyway. Id say 30% would be sufficient to fight cobweb, if that. On my first grow I used a 10% solution to mist my cakes with, as a preventative. I later learned this is unnecessary, but I dont think it had any bad effects on my cakes.

When you say 100%, 30%, 10%, you mean 100/30/10% of a pharmacy bought 3% H2O2 solution right? Cause pure 100% H2O2 would be killer to anything surely (Not to mention hard to obtain)?

the h2o2 you buy in stores is already a 3%, so its fine right out of the bottle to mist if you have cobweb

After some further research, ignore my previous post. I done some more digging, and this is what RR has to say about it.
"Holy moly, ten percent peroxide would kill mycelium instantly on contact.
The only use for peroxide is killing cobweb mold on casing layers. In that case, use 3%, which if you live in the US and buy it in brown bottles, it's already diluted to 3% when you buy it. No further dilution required. In some countries, such as South Africa, it's sold in a ten percent concentration, so you'd want to dilute it three to one before use on cobweb mold.
Don't use it during grain to grain transfers. Practice sterile procedure. RR"
He knows his shit, so I wouldnt have any reason to doubt it. Sorry for spreading bad info =P

Each strain seems to have its own look, I have noticed.
