Help Identify Cobweb Mold/OtherContaminent

Hello, This mycelium is cultivating in a monotub that his hpoo/cor/verm/gypsum and has been introduced with fully colonized WBS/Rye. The jars were sterilized in a PC and were inoculated with spores after the syringe had been sterilized w/ isypropyl/flame. I moved them to the tub about a week ago to get it to full colonization before I began fruiting. It looks to me like I am starting to perhaps see something other than mycelium in the tub. It looks like it perhaps is cobweb mold, but with this being my first attempt at a grow I cannot be sure.

Here is a wide overview of the tub. As I depict with the arrows, the pink is my concern of what I believe to be cobweb mold. The blue arrows point to what looks like healthy mycellium. Also, there seems to be a fine shine of maybe moisture over the mycellium. I don't know if this is normal or perhaps my h20 concentration is too high? The red arrow that I point out looks almost like a pocket of water (but it looks gel like). I wasn't able to get a great picture, but if you zoom you can kinda see what I am saying. I zoom in on the red circle in the next picture to give a closeup of that section.

Again, blue looks like healthy mycellium to me and pink looks like something else.
If this is contaminated, what should I do? Are there any steps I can take to avoid this happening again? My jars did not seem to be contaminated in any way before moving to monotub (eye test, smell test,) but now I am noticing what may be these impurities.
Thanks for all your help! Tribal.

I think it's just tomentose mycelium. I wouldn't worry about it right now. It's not unusual to see minor irregularities. If it's something bad it'll usually become pretty obvious.

Okay good to know. It hasn't been spreading so hopefully it is nothing. Now on to fruiting! Thanks for the reply!
