They look like mushroom primordia. What's the species? Just give a couple more days to see if they continue growing into mushrooms. If so, use or refrigerate quickly if it's 100% colonized.

I'm pretty sure the mycelium is valid oyster mycelium, even though the picture makes it look bad. It's the white dots that I'm worried about. This is pretty early in the colonization process, so primordia is probably out of the question?

Could it be yest?

I know, I forgot to mention the species  :sorry:

So what's the giveaway that it's cobweb? Look at this pic for instance:



People kept telling me the growth on the left was cobweb, but the whole thing turned out to be oyster. Lighting and focus/blur can play tricks on you. So, I think there's a good chance the growth in the OP pic isn't cobweb. But, like I said, I don't know what to make of those white dots.

hmm.. that's a hardy!

At first glance thought it was yeast but on second glance thought it was Trichoderma.

On third glace I gave up and ask you to please keep it and let it grow out so that we can figure out what it is.

I can say that none of the glances made me think of cobweb.

Most likely it is primordia like Hotnuts said.

Here's an update:



The white dots are still appearing, mostly on the kernels. Also, for some reason agressive growth(as seen in the pic) seems to be somewhat localized, even though I shook the jar well and there's thin mycelium pretty much everywhere.

:popcorn:

I guess those are primordia. What casues them to form during the spawn run? Could it be lack of moisture?

Argh. This mycelium is doing weird things. It's forming these wild rhizomorphs(??) here and there, and the white dots, hyphal knots or whatnot, are there to stay. Does anyone know why my jars now look like this? These are way different from the ones I made before.



As you can see here, very different from my first patch of jars:



Again, both phoenix oyster.
I might be in the wrong forum, because I get only the standard oyster smell through the filter, sweet anis-like. But why do they look so different?

It looks like yeast contamination.  That's the dots.  Once it weakens the mycelium, all sorts of things can take over.  Toss the jar out.
