More information, 7 days since inoculated with loop from MS syringe. Have 3 jars like this, also they had substantial growth in about two days, but I did not think about pics.

It's not mycelium for sure. Slimy/gooey shit is never what you want to see in mycology unless you specifically want to observe contaminants.

You want fluffy cotton (can also be some types of moulds that look similar in early stages) look with organised structure or more distinct strands (rhizomorphic).

Most likely some kind of bacteria (have no idea which ones; I have no interest in learning the differences as I only learn to recognise healthy mycelium - there can be many types).

I have been doing a little experimenting with agar and this was just strange, so I looked here and Google, but found nothing that looks like this. I figured someone here might know what it is. I have not opened or smelled and am not planning too, but it looks very strange and I decided to observe for a while, also thought someone else might find it interesting or may have encountered this before. I know I could say that it is not mycelium and discard, but I like learning everything I can, because knowledge is better than ignorance. After suffering a traumatic brain injury and having your whole world changed, you may decide that learning is important, I know I do.

If you want to identify what kind of bacteria this is - you need to put it under a strong microscope.

I must admit that pictures you've taken look kind of cool and creepy :smile:

I need a good microscope, gonna have to look for one soon. Right now the only thing I have is Jewelers loupes, also I have a 200x hand held that hooks up to a TV or monitor. The 10x pics are from a Jewelers loupe and cell phone camera. Gotta use what I have.
