Colinization ques/help

I started some jars last thursday, first timer. They all seem to be colinizing but not like alot of the pics I have seen. The Myc is spread out with some stringy like looking chunks here and there. Is this normal? Cant post pics at the moment. Also, 1 jar had a black spot towards the top. Its not getting any bigger and white is starting to form around it but not over it yet. Could this be contam? I have isolated it away from the others of course. Finally, after innoc I put my jars in a box and placed them in a dark closet. I had foil on the lids but read that I should take it off for gas exchange since its verm topped. Is that good? And is being in the box in a closet a smart move? Any feedback would be much appreciated! Tips would be stellar. I enjoy studying these suckers and find it facinating. I have some hawaiians and ecuadorians going. Thanks for reading.

I guess the white stringy chunks are just some rhizomorphic strains, That's good. But without pics it's difficult to say.

Unless your "black spot" is a sunflower seed or somethin', I'd venture to say that is probably a contaminate.

I read on here that black spots can occur and that if the myc forms over it then its fine.

you sound too worried. give them some time alone for several days then check up on them. give your questions at that time if your still concerned. its still too early to tell or panic

No I'm not so worried at all, just a first timer and A perfectionist I guess you could say. Here is a pic of the black spot with Myc around it. Aside from the fact that it may be contaminated, does the colinization look about right? As mentioned before, it's only been 6 days. The others are looking about the same as this one. Sorry for the crappy pic, used my phone.
Also, as for my other question. Is it ok to have the other jars in a box in my closet? It's a pretty small closet. But if sitting them out on the shelf alone is a better route let me know. Thanks again all.
