it is some kind of growth, it wasn't there until this morning... It's in a couple jars, i was thinking it might be mycellium, just really weak because of the syringe i used had been almost frozen...

Looks like a kernal that got busted and smashed on the side of the jar, be patient buddy...Rome wasn't built in a day, and myceilium and contam growth will not show for days, just wait and see

yeah, It looks like that, but the fact it just appeared this morning has gotten me worried, theyve been in incubation since saturday so it's time for growth to being, it's really thing, like cob webby, but it doesn't look like that, it looks like an ice crystal.

Honestly I wouldnt worry about it, I have seen the same tyhings in my WBS jars, especially the ones I got going right now, WBS is kinda difficult to judge when it has been hydrated fully, but in the end, I knocked up 12 quart jars for my first mycology experiment, some of them have the afor mentioned crystal structures, but they all turned out fucking fantastic, dont worry lil buddy, I'm sure by Wednesday you will be telling a clear difference in what true myceilium growth is.
Recently on Friday I just knocked up 36 WBS quarts with the Penis Envy strain, and only about half of them do I see small growth coming along, like i said, it takes time, but its worth the wait

Damn 36? lol, I have 5 knocked up and 4 more ready, gotta do some more, because i burnt some in the pressure cooker, I guess i had it up to high, they seared to the glass...... This isn't my first grow though, I know what mycellium growth is, it's just really confusing, i haven't grown in about 8 months so I've forgot a lot...

So I was looking at the jar again, it's grown a little more since when i snapped the pic, it looks like if some one took some epsom salt and crushed it open ... I don't know what the hell it is

I'm going to have to start trusting all of you a little more, I decided to figure out what was going on with my jar, so i had a few extra un inoculated jars sitting around and decided to open one and crush some bird seed against the glass and that is exactly what it looks like in my jar, except more shiny... so yeah, thanks to everyone for helping!
