how does my mycelium look?

These are my jars, the ones with the GT on them represent the golden teachers and the others are the b+. The B+ was inoculated on 11-20-16 and started to show signs of mycelium on the 26th with no signs of growth on the GT ones. A few more days later I started to see signs of mycelium on the GT but it looks different than the B+ mycelium. Anyone with more knowledge than me know if they are going to be ok. This is my first try at this and I just want to know if it looks like a contamination or not. They get light about 12 hours a day give or take and are kept at about 70-75 degrees. Its been exactly 2 weeks since inoculation and seems like its going slower than it should. Some of the GT jars don't even have any signs of growth at all or very little compared to the B+. Thanks for any feedback this site has been a big help so far.

I may be wrong, but here is what I see:
1: Cobweb, not sure. 2: Trich, not sure. 3: Bacterial avoidance. 4: Bacterial avoidance.

The substrate is vermiculite and brown rice flower that have been lightly filled in the jars with a vermiculite top for filter. Jars were placed in pressure cooker at 15psi for 45 minutes, cooled over night and inoculated the next day in a sterile Tupperware tote with latex gloves even sterilized needle between jars with propane torch.

here are some more pictures. Two of the pictures are of the GT jar in question. From another closer look it is definitely different than the others and does look like mold possibly and even looks like excessive moisture within the jar. The other pictures are of the other GT jar that looks good just like the B+ jars "cobweb like" mycelium so I think its good to go. All my other GT jars show no sign of life but I think they are good and just need more time. I took the jar that is in question and moved it further away from the others just incase.

How long will it take for my mycelium to fully colonize?
