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.

Definitely, rum. Is it safe to leave with other jars or should I move as precaution

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 😅
