Cobweb mold

I have some colonized jars that I believe may contain cobweb mold. Does anyone know if cobweb mold has a particular smell? I cracked open a jar for the 1st time today and the rye grain smells more like some kind of cleaning product than it does good mycelium

I got a jar with some Dactylum mold in it and it smells different, a little like sourness and alcohol.

Looks like mycellium , mushroom mycellium. What kind of mushroom was it inoculated with? That can make a difference in smell Panaelous, Cubensis ect

Here's one more pic of the top of the jar. It seems very thick and wet as well

Mold or cobweb will usually colonise uneven and spewe spores everywhere.
Cobweb is wispy and stringy when ive seen it and puffs out when fully mature and smells like wet basement, mildew like.
That just looks like cube mycellium , some are more rizo while others aren't. Totally genetic. Id definitely go with it . I dont think there's anything wrong with it

Good info
Ya I figure I've made it this far and might as well just spawn it to bulk. I'll be able to better tell if it's mycelium once it starts to colonize the bulk sub too

No.
Was in the process of spawning this one and some others to bulk and just took the picture before it went into the tub

ok good.
first set of pics looks good to me, a bit bacterial but nothing that ends it. the last pic of the open jar looks real powdery tho. hope its just the pic and not IRL!

Update
Here's what my mono tub is looking like after 7 days. Fingers crossed and hoping for the best

This looks suspect to me. The mycelium has the same consistency as the jar pictures, that is for sure. I feel like you may need more FAE.

Suspect how? I'm not trying to be a pest, just worried as this mycelium seems to develop very quickly and is unlike anything I have delt with before

it might just not be very stongly reconnecting. 7 days after spawning or 7 days after fruiting.. spawning right? if so I don't think FAE is needed...

Now I'm confused...I am assuming fruiting conditions were introduced? because i see polyfill in that 2nd picture.

Fruiting conditions are just now being introduced. The polyfill was just JUST added today.

Ya, 9 days has been the magic number for me in the past. This mycelium is much more aggressive tho which is kinda why I fruited it earlier. Have a couple other tubs of this stuff so I can still do some experimentation

Great! So now with the introduction of frequent air exchanges you should see that cottony mycelium turn into pins!

Awesome thanks!

So on the subject of FAE, this is something I ran into on a forum the other day while doing some research. Is what is said here about wiping the walls of the tub down to properly gauge if FAE is at an appropriate level correct? This is the first I have heard of this and seems like it could be a good thing to do to ensure proper fruiting conditions.

seems like using the condensation time is a good judge of humidity. take a look at this; http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/17332777

no, that's moronic. condensation happens because of temp differences.
on the other side, you can use the dry rings as a measurement of how much fresh air is coming into the tub.
the link above my post is good but I think you misunderstood it if you think he says condensation = good rh.
check by day and a tub may not have condensation at all, night comes, room temps drop, living myc keeps inside of tub warmer and condensation happens! science!

no, it's actually quite normal. the laws of physics usually dont mess around that much, they tend to stay pretty constant.

Hope everything goes as planned, I leave everything alone and just look for dry rings around a half inch to make sure she's breathing a bit. I love how easy it tends to itself
