Colonization or Contamination??🧐

Attached are two (admittedly low quality) pics of some ~8 day old WBS jars. I am still new to this and I cannot tell if this mycelium belongs to my intended cubes or cobweb mold. It looks thready and fluffy and not much like the rhizomorphic mycelium I’m used to seeing pull thru grain. It may be tomentose though I am just inexperienced and unsure. Please help me identify it as I am about to be either extremely happy or extremely disappointed lol. Let me know if the pics are too shitty to go off of. Thanks in advance!

Looks like cobweb mold to me. It should spread fast if it is cobweb mold.

booo cobweb mold, what an asshole species bro lmao. Do you think moisture levels contribute to the likelihood of cobweb contamination? Or was it most likely just my sterile technique? I pc'd it for 2 hours so it was either the syringe or the sab.

tbh that looks like mushroom. Cobweb will move fast as fuck, and I mean it will colonize a jar within half a day ime.

Doesn't look like mold to me. Looks as if you inoculated with liquid (LI or LC) and it pooled at the bottom so now it's starting to colonize it. They need a shake, that way you can rule out mold because if it is it should explode with nastiness in a matter of a day or two, but as said that looks like cube myc in need of a shake.

If that isn't an exaggerated statement then I am probably in the clear. I saw the first signs of growth 2 or maybe 3 days ago.

No it was a z-strain spore syringe. New strain for me so I don't have any plates yet. Though I do believe that the moisture level in the jar is SLIGHTLY excessive, I don't know if that played a part in the pooling of spores at the bottom.

Shake it up and let it ride, within the next few days you'll know if it was mold or mushroom. Sometimes it's incredibly hard to discern until sporulation.
