Myc or Contam?

So I know that a bunch of ppl are just gonna say that this premature trich, but I really think this could be just really tomatoes myc.
Here is the back story... I combined two quart jars of PESH & and one quart of MAaz. I read a little into combining varieties and thought I'd see what happens. All quart jars were 100%, all the grain was 100% chunked out and white, did my smell test at opening, and hydrated for 15min.
So you would think that it was a contam it would have been spotted before we got to this point. This is the 7th day in colonization. Hasn't been taking in an air until I snapped my pic. Also to be noted is that this a CVG sub, and most of the time I do a half CVG/manure compost...could that be why it is tomatoes if it is even myc...
It also smells kinda like a weird tennis ball, which I think is mostly the coir.

This really looks like mycelium. But its very cottony though.

Any TC's ever seen something so tomatose fruit out properly?
Or am I just being overly optimistic.
And this is no mystery syringe, I made them myself from my own prints.

Sometimes a culture can just take over a casing layer. Has happened to me a few times. Will probably still fruit but you will need to watch conditions. This one did alright, you would never know the casing was completely colonized . . .

Yeah, but I haven't cased this.
I'm wondering if it is the combining of two myc varieties?
Im gonna keep it closed up until it blobs out or goes green...

Thanks for keeping the glass half full! I can only hope it fruits like the tube above. Those look like some beautiful PE!

Here we sit at day 10 of fruiting for this most fur like myc I have seen. Took about 12 days to fully colonize and then it was cased with about a 3/4" layer of the same CVG substrate made per the bucket tek.
Anyone ever had trouble fruiting something really tomatoes? This was two different varieties mixed together. It seems to be very veracious in it consumption because the sub has shrunk quite a bit, but not a single sign of fruits.
I kinda think I should perhaps start misting and fanning more, but with casing layer not fully colonized I feel like it might be the wrong thing to do.
I think for now I am just gonna let'em do what they do uharassed...just a little unsure if it is gonna fruit. It will quite interesting to what the fruits will look like!

It looks pretty dry to me. How's the surface? Is there beads all over? Does it glisten? Definitely no trich. It has a Sandy powder solid look. Not a fluffy cotton look

I've had trays look similar that showed mycogone. Also have had that brown from it being too dry. hard to tell sometimes.

I don't think that it is mold pasty, it does have a faint myc growth pattern, here is some of it growing up the side of the tub...

The browning is from the myc dying I believe. Im afraid to water though b/c it is so damn fluffy...

Lol if that was mine I'd have watered it awhile ago. Gentle misting shouldn't effect it anyway.

Took you advice Mad, thank you. I have been outta town for the past 6 days, so they should be getting quite a bit more FAE with me misting 2-3 times a day...I am super interest in how this is going to turn out, if it even does!

I seriously don't mist 2-3 times a day with bulk and I live in a pretty dry climate. More like once a day. Maybe twice. Just keep it shimmering/glistening with no pooling water. May the force be with you
