Zooming in close you can see the mycelium fibers. You said in the other
post they about a month old. There's no metabolites present and mold grows
really fast. By all these factors together I think it's mycelium.

But when did this current growth start? A spore could make its way down at any time and start growing, it doesn’t have to have gotten in during inoculation. I’m not trying to Debby Down your grow or nothing lol and I’m hoping it’s something good growing but I’d keep track of it over the next day or two and see how fast it’s moving.

Too thin, grey, whispy. Mold isn't always fast.
But yeah, time will tell.

Abhorrent, I feel like that would be hard to say empirically. If this is truly mycelium, and therefore connected to it, I would argue well over a week ago. The *very* apparent growth, 1-2 days probably

The grey & whispy look your jars have me concerned. In most cases when I spawn these kinds of jars they trich out.

TBH, I'm fairly surprised they haven't yet. As mentioned in post linked above, they took WAY longer than anything I may have gotten at a more reputable vendor. The first Jar took nearly 3 weeks to show anything. I'm still gonna wait a couple more days in this I think and post more pics as needed

That's going to be a contamination. Usually (not always) mycelium will start growing near the middle or bottom of the jar when doing pf tek. What it looks like it that a mold spore got thru your verm layer and is growing downwards. After inoculating, limit moving or tilting your jars as much as possible or you will ruin your grow each and every time.

I feel like I'm causing a religious war here lol. Is there a trusted cultivator who can give their 2 cents? Appreciate all the feedback so far guys. I'm still gonna wait a couple days before I consider tossing

The truth is everyone is best guessing. Definitely the right thing to do
no matter what is wait and see if it colonizes. Even growing mold in a jar
is a learning experience as it helps you to know what's right, by watching
whats wrong.

In your pics in very far top right hand side is that green inside your jars or a reflection on the jar?

It's definitely  reflection from some green clothes hangers nearby, apologies there. If it was green inside I'd definitely toss 😅

New pics. I'm concerned about the second one, and the first one starting to wonder if this is cob web mold

this is what cobweb mold looks like.

can't say for sure while they're in the jars.

you can spray hydrogen peroxide on the cobweb to get rid of it

I'm wondering if the line yellowing there is natural. Haven't seen that before in my few past successful grows

It's looking more like the fuzzy kind of mycelium every day.
The yellow is metabolites which could mean a contamination.
But if it's only some bacteria it can still work out good.
Now just gotta wait to see if it finishes colonizing.

Yeah there's two kinds that I know of you have the ropy rhizo kind
then a fuzzy kind called tomatilos or something lol I'm off a lot on
the terminology. But yes fruit will grow off either kind.

Interesting. I think this is a jar I accidentally knocked a bit taking out of pot. The other Jar has similar myc but none of that yellowing. Still really strange how long these took

Mycelium is pure white. Pure, pure white. Anything that is grey is and in growing in a haphazard manner like in your pics is not mushroom mycelium. I suggest you take a look at mycelium growing on brf and compare them to what is growing in your jar.

Different jar, looks like mycelium trying to start here, but concerned about that darkness in the middle of it. I'll give it a couple days as well.

Hmmm yeah that does look a little funny. An observation too,
I think you're not putting the needle in far enough and are
depositing spore solution in the verm layer a little which is
kinda bad news bears cause it has to stay dry to stay effective.

Yeah this was my first grow in months so I clearly botched like half of these. On the bright side, the replacement syringes from the vendor are already showing signs of mycelium 4 days later and I made sure to not noc' so far up
