mycelium or contam in syringe?

The other day i made a couple syringes from a print somebody sent me, i followed psilocybers syringe tek. This was my first time making my own syringes.. one of them has visible spore clumps, while the other has little blobs/ strings of off-white/ beige stuff. Im guessing the spores just germinated and its mycelium forming, but could it be a contam, and if so what kind of mold would make something like this form in a syringe? Its only been maybe 6-7 days since i made em.. just spores and water used.

Pictures speak 1000 words.
Molds can be white before they spore, but it's most likely mycelium.
What type of water did you use? Were you sure to sterilize the syringe and needle before use? How much of the print did you use per syringe?

I dont have a camera that will take a detailed enough picture to show it.. i used spring water out of a bottle and boiled it for 15 minutes in a pot that i bought that day and was brand new. It was a pesh print about the size of a dime and made 2 5ml syringes with it..
syringes were sealed in a sterile individual-syringe package until i opened em,they were from a hospital so i didnt boil/sterilize em prior to using but did suck up boiling water a few times and ejected it as psilocybers tek says to do.. just thought it was strange that bacteria or myc would form in a syronge in a week at room temp of 65-69°F..

i had a similar experience with a print i forgot to let dry before i stored, clumpy spores held together by some germinated contam of some sort, i cleaned it with the no pour agar tek but it was a pita (not saying this is your problem but it's possible)

Ive recieved syringes in the past from vendrs that were germinated, but its hard to remember what it looked like after picking the hobby back up after a 6 year absence..just one sure way to find out i guess!
