I'm worried my jar might have cobweb

I inoculated a lot of jars, some are from spores. Both of these jars of from spores. As you can see, the one on the right is very nice looking. The mycelium is going slow and starting to colonize. It is very white. On the other hand, the jar on the left was inoculated from a different spore syringe under the same conditions and at the same time. About a week later, it is covered in off-white. It is not nearly as white, nor as dense as the other jar. Is the left contaminated?

Here is another pic of the jar:

I made an lc out of it and inoculated another jar that looks just like this one. It is not seeming to consolidate either, just sit like this, while the other healthy looking jar grows daily.

My guess is it's a bacteria. Looks like little white dots.

You're probably right. Great, I have inoculated about 15 jars with that LC

I just tested my first lc on 2 pint jars of grain. In all my searches of lc teks, one thing they had in common was to test your lc on a couple of jars, to make sure it is good. So you don't lose 15 jars. Not trying to be a smartass, just hope you learned from this, because time is to valuable to waste. Happy Grows Man.

Now you know, always do a small first test with your LC as you never know.
How did you make it? Grain LC?

I made it with a honey lc. Well, it's not all bad, I'll pc these contam jars and fill them up with all the rye I have left (quite a bit) and thankfully I did have the foresight to knock up a few more jars with spores, which are looking healthy, for the purpose of making a grain lc. I've just had it with sugar based cultures.
