Cobweb or other contamination?

So I am growing psilocybin McKennaii from a grow kit (I already know what people are going to say about grow kits, but it's my only option at the moment) and I am a little over 2 weeks in. A few days ago shrooms started pinning, and now a white fluffy substance has appeared. I am not sure if it is just mycelium, if its cobweb mold or something else entirely. If it is contaminated, do I have to throw the whole thing away? Might it be salvageable?
As a sidenote, I've noticed some of the shrooms have started growing "upside down" in that it appears that the caps are at the bottoms. What's the deal with that?

Upside down fruits are a mutation. So thats fun. Also it looks like cob web to me due to the light/fluffy/airy look but id let a TC verify first.
And cob web is maintainable.

Thanks for your input! Two questions: 1) How is it maintainable? 2) (Because I'm a noob here) what is a TC?

TC= trusted cultivator. They know their shit.
Usual protocol is to put some 3% hydrogen peroxide on it. But it is toxic to the mushrooms as well. That'll simmer down the cobweb but itll come back. People also pour salt/salt paste over the effected area to slow it down.
Either way id let a TC verify everything first in case I'm wrong (it happens)

I wouldn't be too worried right now. Looks fairly clean to me. The fluffy pieces are just myc.

Damn that mycelium, impersonating Cobweb. They can look so damn similar.
