Keep on trying and take your notes it's hard to wade through such a mountain of info and come out sure of something but once you get it once you will know what your looking for !

I agree 100% with Rubestoad. If you want to know where you are having an problem, make a journal and write it all down. Then you can reread it later and find the variable. I still think that the Large Wide Mouths are going to have some late game problems. I would consider not putting them in the TIT.

They are all half quart. Contamed in top pics are regular half quarts, took a while to locate some wide mouth.

Hey Guys so here's some updated pics.
The growth is semi translucent, almost foggy There are no odd colors, any specs you see is the vermiculite as the growth has pulled away from the jar a bit. The growth is white and say it looks whispy would not be inaccurate - as much as I hate to say it. What do you think - monokaryotic myc. or something less favorable ?

The pics are of 3 jars only, the orange (one jar only) tinted shots are in a different room with diff. spectrum lighting. - brighter shots are of two others.

images are one week from the previous pics posted - total I believe they are in the 3-4 week range...We keep our thermostat around 65 so growth is not super fast

Hey guys, Here are the latest pics - let me know what you think...
6 of the 7 pics are of latest inocculation ~4-5 weeks ago - those are the wide mouth jars, and the same as the most recent pics I put up. You will also see one pic of regular mouth 1/2 pint Jar - The regular mouth jar has been sitting in my cold garage for months - I included it as reference. I know it is contam'd however there is a stark difference between the growth in the new jars and the isolated spot in regular mouth jar which I beleive is true rhizomorphic mycellium (what I beleive looks more like thick yogurt as opposed to whispy cotton ball like.. The difference in appearance is what concerns me, any input greatly appreciated

That last picture looks scary, I would not birth that thing next to your other jars. Isolate that guy in a little mini mono with some perlite. I do not believe cobweb has a smell, but if it looks wispy like that it is definitely cobweb mold. You can make up a solution of Hydrogen Peroxide and water, and try using that to spray the cake with. I am not sure the ratio of peroxide to water. I have only had one cake go cobweb, and this was after it's 3rd flush so I tossed it.
