The black is fine. The mycelium looks bacterial.

When it's colonized that much, it should have a good mushroom smell, not soil. A sensitive nose may be able to pick out a soil smell, but it should mostly smell like mushrooms with that much colonization.
Your growth also has a kind of bubbly cottony melted ice-cream texture that's turning off-white.

By soil smell I meant normal smell. The white off color looks that way because of yellow liquid build up that I thought was myc piss. Should I open her up and fan to see what happens? Wait a bit? This is my only grow and was for fun so it's not a big deal either way.

mycelium doesn't piss. It creates metabolites to combat bacterial infections.

Looks like the sub was extremely wet when you prepped it.
Blast it with tons of FAE for the next few days and see what happens

Myc can survive in high CO2 environments, but it does need oxygen to survive. Suran wrap seals the container and allows CO2 build up which weakens and/or kills the myc while favoring anaerobic organisms such as some bacteria. Once the myc is too weak, anaerobic organisms can more easily take over once FAE is introduced.
If it is contaminated, it may have been your spawn as well. Like twistedty said, see what happens.

Wait did the teks change? I remember years ago I was told to wrap my tubs to build up co2.

Yea that first pic is nasty looking.
First pic doesn't even look like mycelium. Looks like you found that fattest, nastiest spider web you could and posted it.
Sorry if I sound like a dick haha.
I would toss it if I didn't have any other jars of grain colonizing. That is important. Always have jars at separate stages so a loss like this doesn't set you back 2 months.

Well at least it will get all the fresh air it needs now.  Sorry it went bad. At least you know what trich looks like now. Good luck with the next batch.
