Weird growth

I'm 2 weeks into this cow poo tub since spawning to bulk. Noticed the first of these white stalks near day 7. Now they're rampant across the tub. The mycelium is still patchy but is making progress as it's gotten warmer in the last week.
What I can't figure out is why some of these stalks seem to be growing out of the patches of myc/clusters of grains.
They're similar looking to #2 in this guide. But much more whispy, with a noticeable cluster of sorts at the top.



Sorry for the shitty pics, I don't want to open the tub yet. If these things die off and the mycelium keeps growing, everything should be okay, I think...

I would just remove them from the substrate now before they mature.

Golden teachers. This is my first time trying cow shit. I steamed the hell out of it for 1&1/2 hours, these things are resilient

Just yank them up from the sub? Or remove the sub they're attached to?

Pluck them out. Assuming those are some kind of Coprinus sp. the mushroom mycelium will be able to colonize the substrate once the excess ammonia is used up.

interesting so was this caused by using too fresh of poo hence the excess ammonia?

So an ammonia fungus growing on shit means I didn't leech it well enough? I soaked it over night in water then rinsed it again. I know cows piss on their shit, but it's not exactly blended together. Should I have checked the pH?

The ammonia is a waste product from the bacteria that were previously growing in the manure. You can avoid it by only using the older field aged manure. If that's not an option for some reason the way you leach it is to dry it in direct sunlight during which it will be released into the air in the form of ammonia gas.
