Mycelium or mold? Cloudy areas in brf jars. First time grower.

Hi, first time grower here.
I started some b+ brf jars on 7/10 and one of them has spots that are sort of cloudy (and somewhat transparent) white instead of stringy white like the rest.
With this being my first grow I don't have the experience to let me know if this normal mycelium growth or not.
Im going to try to attach pictures, let me know if more information or pictures are needed. Thanks in advance.

Since I've had a lot of views but no comments, should I just assume no one saw any issues

So far those look fine to me. Smell will tell you for sure.
Or just giving them a few more days if they arent ready to be birthed.

I’m on my first grow as well, so I am definitely not the most reliable source on this..
I know in my jars the myc started out looking kind of thin and fluffy, then became bright white and ropey, and started to look thinner, less stringy, and almost transparent. I’m not sure if this is normal or if it indicates any problems. That being said, my cakes have now been in the SGFC for 9 days now and all have started to pin with none showing signs of contam.
I’d say keep an eye on them and let them finish colonizing and consolidating. As long as there is no super obvious signs on contam (blue/green/black areas, large amounts of metabolites being produced, mycelium completely disappearing in an area, or sudden change to sour/rotten smell) I’d keep going the course! Based off of my own experience and what I can tell from your pics, I’m not really concerned about contam atm! Again, I’m a newbie, so I can’t promise my assessment is the most accurate!
Good luck on your first grow!!

Thanks for the replies. I'm just afraid of the contams that are hard to tell apart from healthy mycelium. I thought that may have been cobweb mold.
