Healthy mycelium or web mold?

I'm 3 weeks in, just hit 100% colonization and waiting for last week before fruiting and I believe I have spotted "web mold". Run down. I am using brown rice flour and verm. Strain PES Hawaiian Half pint jars Steam sterilized 90 min on 10/5 Anoculated 10/6 I live in a tropical climate in the Pacific
I've heard and read that H2O2 "could" fix my problem but not sure about my current issue at hand.
Any advice at this point is greatly appreciated.

You are talking about near the top vermiculite layer right? Looks like aerial mycelium to me but I could be wrong.

Yes, unfortunately the jars I have them in are ridged and screw with the clarity of the pic. I just started to notice this about 1-2 days ago and most of it is all near the tops of the pure vermiculite layer.

Are we talking about the same spot? I'm talking about the fuzzy looking stuff right around the top of the cake and the bottom of the verm layer. I'm thinking you're doing fine if so.

Yes near the tops of the Hawaiian strain..but my Burma strain is almost half looking with this "fuzzy" stuff. I'll add extra pics for show. Also note both strains were done in the same manner.

The Hawaiian just hit 100% today. I was under the impression to wait one more week to birth

That does help the mycelium consolidate a bit more and resist future contams

However, you maybe right on the birthing. I just read that if colonized in temps 80, you may not want to wait any longer than 3 days..75, was suggested at 1 week. Looks like I need to finish my fruiting chamber tomorrow and get it ready for the next day or two. The Bruma maybe entering the chamber next weekend as they are only 90-95% colonized. Btw, this is my first mush grow so I appreciate all your feedback. Thank you

Are you incubating these jars?

No. I live in the tropics so my house is usually warm in the area where they are colonizing..average 77-83.

They're fine. It's undoubtedly mycelium near the tops. Yeah I'd still do a 7 day consolidation then dunk and roll, or dunk and roll sooner if you see any pins within that 7 days.

Thank you for the heads up. It's always nerve racking the first few go a rounds with something new.
