I mean this growth looks nothing like cubensis , it looks kinda like the contam than Pf jars get thats like light grey cobweb looking, and spreads super fast?? I guess I can just put them in a seperate chamber

Be prepared for every new species to look different. On grain, on agar, even in LC.

i have only inoculated oyster on straw based bags, but it looks whiteish grey for me...way different than the shitake or lions mane.
just ran some blue oysters and their mycs were like porceline white, much whiter than the pearl oysters i have. just amongst the three species of edibles i have played with i have noticed the color difference in perfectly healthy mycelliums.
-------------------- I am looking for any shiitake strains, any oyster strains, and lions mane cultures. i got cool edibles to trade. "Mycologists on the other hand grow for the love of growing. They want to experiment with various species, substrates, and fruiting environments. They'll move on to isolate strains, attempt hybridization, and in general treat cultivation as an artform, rather than a chore that must be performed as a means to an end. They'll work twice as hard for a ten percent gain, just for the love of perfection..." Roger Rabbit

i have not yet seen cube mycelliums in person, but thats why im here. hopefully ill be seeing a bunch of them real soon.
all i know is the first time i grew mushies it was shitakes on blocks. the shiitake mycelliums on the sawdust blocks got like bright ass marshmallow white, and when my oyster bags werent the aame color i thought something was wrong so i showed a friend of mine who gave me the oyster bags and he said they were good. a few weeks later i had oyster mushrooms in my rissoto. oysters grow wierd but are beastly once established. i toss my spent oyster bags in my compost pile and get one or two more flushes from them sitting there in the compost pile.
my point is that just becuase its different dont mean its contaminated. all mushroom species are going to be a bit different. the edible mushroom forum here is sweet. try searching there.
