Quick! Please help (contam issue)

Oh my. Long story short, I thought one of my cakes was contam so I isolated it. It looks like cob web, but it was white and very faint. Partner suggests is mycelium but I may have overeacted. Now, the cake is not overcome by anything, and it looks okay. I really don't think I'll syrvive in its container currently, but would it be okay to put it back with the others??? I'm still unsure if it was cobweb mold, but it's not there from what I can see. (Id take a pic, but it's so small, and faint it's not possible to see on camera).
Tldr: is it okay to put an isolated cake back with the others (in sgfc) if I presumed it had cob web mold?
Thank you so much for your help.

I am better safe than sorry... I would not risk anything for ONE cake. But it is your decision.

Common misconception here at the Shroomery. Cobweb is a quick colonizer, literally before you even know it you'll have a large growth of cobweb. It's also pretty rare unless your fruiting conditions are extremely stale.
Fortunately most cobweb mold infections can be eradicated with a bit of h202. Hit it with a sprits of hydrogen peroxide, if it immediately dissolves, it was cobweb and now you no longer have cobweb.
If not, it wasn't cobweb. Put it back. Lol. Hopefully it's not some other white mold but it's hard to tell without pics bro.

Perfect for google searches. How do I make this thread relevant, because that piece of info regarding speed of cobweb growth is not found on in other top google threads. Thank you so much.

I don't see any contaminants except maybe bacteria, which should only affect yield and make your subs more prone to molds. TCs and vets are better at spotting contaminants than I am. If they see something, they will likely tell you.

Ok. I'm not 1000% sure it was pearlite. My partner was able to hit it off and it fell like it wasn't fully attached. I used flash in the pic and it was a wet cake. I'm guessing that's how the pic looked like that, I hope..

Ok. I just don't think the container is proper. I basically only have it in a tupper ware container with pearlite and I can a lot. No holes. Not dead yet. It doesn't feel right doing this.
