Some unknown fungi grew, is it safe to grow?

Hello I’m curious and I need some help with my question. I originally had some wild bird seed grains that I ended up filtering and soaking over night with gypsum and coffee grounds. Afterwards I boiled them and let them all dry before I put them in sealed quart jars. I had all intentions of pressure cooking them and I’m inoculating them afterwards but I was way too busy then I left for a camping trip for a whole week. When I got back I noticed that some kind of fungi had grew inside my quart jars. There doesn’t seem to be any contamination including discoloration or sliminess. I’m going to attach photos of it tho this thread so you can also see. Just pure white mycelium. My question is can I grow that and try to fruit them? I’m curious to what fungi that actually is. But the issue is I don’t want to grow something that is potentially bad to even inhale the spores. So should I try to grow whatever it is out of curiosity or completely not because it can be harmful. Thanks guys http://

You are the glorious owner of a jar or two of pin mold. I personally would toss the jar but I suppose you can soak it in some bleach water after you dump it. You won't be growing anything beneficial if you keep it

Total n00b here, so take this with a grain of salt. Also, because I only know about PF Tek. But RogerRabbit, in his video, says that you can save the jars even if mold gets in there. However, the caveat is that you have to put the jars in boiling water for an hour before you even think of opening them. The way he describes it, if you open the jars now, with living mold in there, then the spores will get all over your surfaces, as well as all over your skin, clothes, and hair, and will totally f*ck up your future grows, because they stay around. Persistent little contaminants, I guess. But if you boil the jars, he says, that will kill all the mold, and you can at least save your jars after discarding the contaminated contents.
Again, grain of salt here, since I know very little.

Or you could just dump them out and not worry about it. Its not like those mold spores weren't in your grow area before. I would dump them out outside and don't go to your sterile area till you change your clothes and shower. Mold sucks but its literally everywhere, if you don't believe me take a petri dish with nutrient media in it and open it in the open area for 30 seconds and come back in a week guaranteed there is mold on the plate. Sterile procedure will fix mold problems.

Yeah don't grow that, open it outside, dump it out, and do things on a time table when you can pressure cook right after preparing your stuff the right way. Don't use coffee grounds for anything they just get contaminated very easily. Check out the Everything you need to know Link below and follow a good proven tek
