What the hell is going on?! Is the mycelium winning over black mold ? Update: second flush done 1

OK, so one of my jars were badly contaminated with some black shit, so i packed it in a plastic bag and was going to toss it...I forgot about it for a week and when i saw it again it was almost fully colonized. What is going on here? Is the mycelium actually winning or is the white stuff just another contam wich happens to be stronger than black mold? I opened it and smelled it, it was mellow and sweet.







 
Update: WOw. A lot of people on my side today. I really began to question myself on what i was actually doing and was kind of loosing the intrest. But Thanks for understanding me. I did this as an eperiment frome a spore syringe that the previous house owner left behind. i am not planning on doing mycology in the future. When it got contamed i was going to toss it and leave it at that but when i forgot about the jar and discovered the mycelium growth i figured what the heck lets see who wins, will it be fruit or will the contam take over the mycelium before that poin. And here we are. i am sorry if i offended somebody with this experiment or if i have made myself unclear about what i am actually trying to acheive here.
Thanks for supporting this thread, wether you are against it or not. Here are some pictures as of today


Update:




First flush!

ha cool. Sure looks like mycelium to me.
I've got some azurescens duking it out with black mold right now on a brf cake. The jar was about 50/50 at the start of the fight, should be a nice clean match.
cubes i'm assuming?

Ive heard that mycelium has a really good defense mechanism but thats pretty impressive. I wonder if you grew it out more if you could remove all of the black mold from the jar naturally.

Ok. To me it actually looks like the black stuff is trying to escape the white stuff. If you know what is actually going on here i would very much like to know. Thanks

Already told you. Myc is just covering mold. If u cut it open it'll be the same amnt of mold. There's no myc winning over mold

What part of cover the mold is unclear?
That's not gonna produce anything worthwhile. Can't break it up. You'd be lucky if a fruit or 2 mature from top fruiting. It may make some pins, most/all will abort.

The term 'black mold' is a misnomer. Most mycelium is light in color, whether from mold or mushroom. The black, green, pink, etc., comes from the reproductive spores. What has likely happened is the mucor spores have germinated and are using the substrate. Dumpster tek. RR

If you have a safe place to isolate it you should keep it and let it colonize longer then cut it open and see what its looking like. Im really interested personally to see how it turns out even if most people believe it wont work.

You pose significant hazard to your own health by entertaining the growth of contams less you wear a respirator when disposing of the jar's contents. Even then you're adding an unnecessary amount of spores to the environment or your person. That's really a trashable jar entirely, friend.
