What does mycelium look like when colonizing over-saturated substrate?

I have a few water logged BRF cakes that I inoculated and I need help identifying what is growing. My cameras quality is crap, so taking a photo is useless. 2 of the jars have a growth coming out of the point of inoculation that isnt consistent to what Im used to seeing. I am worried it might be cobweb, but when I look close with a magnifying glass it looks like extremely fine mycelium from mushrooms. Its really light, almost translucent.
I think its just myc that is struggling through saturated substrate, but I cannot be sure. Ive checked a bunch of picture threads, but none of them show mycelium growing through a over-saturated cake. Any ideas?

I say just let it colonize and see. The worst that could happen is you end up tossing the jar. If you're using MS, you won't have perfect rhizo every time. Really hard to tell w/o a pic

Best I could do so ill add description
It looks kinda like fog, up close its very fine strands that branch off, and the strands all go outwards. The vermiculite you see on the bottom part is from the dry layer.

cobweb would have it done in 24-48 hours, that looks fine. how did it get waterlogged?

Only things I can think of is that I left it in the PC overnight to cool, or maybe somehow it slashed in under the tin foil.
