Advice on white vs. grey mycelium! PICZ

So here are 2 jars that were inoculated and prepared exactly the same. BRF + Verm. One set I decided to introduce into a colonization chamber with an aquarium heater set in a jar of water for temperature control. After 1-2 days I noticed it added some moisture and water condensation in the inside of the jars so I took them out. After talking with a few people on here I realized that this method was outdated and completely unnecessary. It has been a week+ since I removed the jars from the heating setup and now the mycelium seems to be growing in a very greyish, milky fashion. Unlike the other which is bright white and looking wonderful. Should I toss out the "bad jars". I do not think they are contaminated. But is this mycelium going to grow properly now and most importantly will it fruit properly. Is it in my best interest to learn a lesson and start over? Or have any of you had a similar experience and everything turned out fine.. Any help advice is greatly appreciated! I'm a noob but I'm trying so go easy lol. Here's the pics:

Here's more pics. I'd like a couple more opinions before I throw these jars out and start over from scratch.. Pleassee

The gray one is cobweb.
The white one kinda looks like bacteria. I only say this becasue mycelium doesnt branch out like that. Its hard to tell with thoe picture but here is a picture I have.
Healthy mycelium on the left, and bacteria on the right. Notice the difference?

Mycelium branches out all the time. You don't "see" bacteria, you just "see" the effects of it.

Don't blurt out incorrect information. Mycelium does not branch out, it may follow different pats, but each "branch is made of thousands of strands. His pictures, they look solid.
And yes. You CAN see certan types of bacteria. There are thousands of different types of it. I've even been mystaken myself and tried to fruit bacteria cakes. Witch obviously did not happen.... The cake turned orange within 24 hours.
Don't regurgitate false info.

No idea where you're coming from? When I say "branching out" I'm referring to rhizomorphic growth which is a sign of healthy mycelium. When I've seen bacteria set in within a jar it will eventually turn the grain or brf/verm into a mushy type thing but no crazy colors, and the myc forms a border around the contam.......What false info have I regurgitated? I'm interested...

Two pictures of mycelium? One being very rhizomorphic? Where is the bacteria? I'm not seeing it.

Yes I noticed the cobweb effect progressed MUCH faster than the pure white mycelium growing in a rhizomorphic way. I just finished inoculating the 18 new jars! 8 Ecuadorian, 8 Palensque (sp?), and 1 jar from 2 different LC's. Picture of my Wonderful Closet of MAGICK:

Panaeolus mycelium showing different genetics can produce ether white or grey (transparent) mycelium
