Mycelium growth question with pics

First timer here just looking for some opinions/feedback and or tips. I started some jars 8 days ago (PESH) and at about day 4 they had some noticeable growth going on. I have literally done my homework in all aspects of this amazing hobby but would still like some opinions. I used the BRF Tek with 1/2 pint jars. All I could find were the taller ones. The growth I'm seeing isn't like a lot of the photos I have seen of Myc. Most are thick looking and start in the 4 innoc points. Mine have started in those points as well, but also in many other spots throughout. The "Myc" is more thin and fuzzy looking. There are no contam spots to be seen other than a black spot in one jar that I have isolated. The black spot was very tiny and white has grown all around it but not over it just yet. Anyhow, the question I have is if these jars growth looks normal or ok? As mentioned, the white is more thin and fuzzy looking, but growing pretty rapidly still. Also, where I have my jars going stays at about 70F, should I use a space heater and bump up the temp a little? Thanks for your answers, opinions and tips in advance. This is an awesome hobby and I'd like to succeed and gain all of the knowledge I can. Thanks again.

If you started with spores then 4 days is early to see that much growth. Look carefully at some of the gallery posts (I looked at petri pics for hours to learn) and compare. Cubes should have strong strands visible once colonization has began. Compare this to trick which looks very clumpy and more like cauliflower, before it produces its green spores that is. The pic is a bit tough to see so you will have to be your own judge. Best of luck!

Looks good to me. Some myc is thinner and some more aggressive depending on strain and growth rate is dependent on many factors including temp, but it will thicken when it consolidates - patience it'll get there

Its looking fine. I've found for the most part they just want to be left alone to do their own thing besides, some spores just have more muscle than others.

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.
There's a part of every living thing that wants to become itself: the tadpole into the frog, the chrysalis into the butterfly, a damaged human being into a whole one. That is spirituality.

Thanks for all the feedback. It's still coming along nicely and still pretty rapidly. No visible contams in anything. I got a temp meter and where I have my jars it is staying between 73f to 76f. I have Hawaiians and EQ's, the EQ's are slower but the myc on them is much thicker.
