Looks like cobweb contam, I wouldn't toss it though, the myc could end up taking over that small area, just my opinion, I have seen jars like this end in success.

shit i'll probably end up tossing it
edit: a quick question does mycelium just cover up the cobweb or does it kill it off

sometimes myc will look light gray before turning white. Idk if cobweb is that common in jars. Unless your sterile tek is off. Wait a few days and you'll find out. goodluck

It doesn't look like cobweb. It could be some kind of mold though. If it was mycelium it would have merged with the rest of the mycelium. In the pic it looks like the mycelium is growing around the spot instead.

a week and a half in fruiting conditions and nothing, the monotub it doing ok with a fair amount of pins better than the coke bottle with holes/polyfill on the sides
thinking it migh be the high heat 85-90, been cooling the mono with a damp towel on top, i'll probably end up giving the bottle to a close friend least he has an ac and not a shitty swamp cooler

If it was a contam (which I cannot see anything from that pic). Heat would be it's best friend. Thats WAY to hot. People think warmer conditions means faster growth.. and their right. But also increases contamination chances. And if the heat is over say 80-82 it actual slows growth/progress.
Reduce the heat.
