These cakes took a lot longer to cultivate then they should have so when a few of these jars began to pin I put these small batches of Amazonian and Treasure Coast in the same terrarium. they have been in there about 48 hours or so and im getting this strange fuzz! but some of it seems to have some sort of form to it. You can also see a large cap like shaped ball of it on the side of one of the cakes. It also seems to me that there are a few tiny white dots of the tops or a few cakes. Am I right to think that this cake or a few where infected before i birthed them? Should I take them out and spray with H202 and let them dry out?! Hope these pictures can explain what I see better than I can! Thank for the input!
Namaste!

Here's cobweb: http://www.shroomery.org/5276/What-are-common-contaminants-of-the-mushroom-culture
That's mycelium. It looks nice and rhizomorphic. The tiny white dots are hyphal knots.

That's just mycelium, but looking like that it's an indicator of inadequate fresh air. It's still vegetative and "reaching out" in attempt to keep colonizing whatever it can. I'd imagine it's from not drilling holes in your FC! (unless I just can't see them in those pics...)
So yea, give 'em some more fresh air and they'll be fine.

[sighs of relief] there are some wholes, and I have started ventilating the area they are in more adequately; as I isolated an area in order to reduce any possibilities of contamination. But I will get right on making a few more wholes in the sides, all current wholes(sides&top) are covered with ≈1/4" filter sheets and there is a large air stone across the center of the tank. And I'm sure the 5500k bulb I have has enough blue spectrum light for them (although I could rustle up some 6500K if it would help). .so hopefully any day now then! Many Thanks =D
Namaste!
