Contamination or Tomentose Growth?

Hi all
On the 10th I inoculated grain jars with a multi spore syringe On the 14th I saw the first sings of growth pictured here

Now on the 18th it looks like this

My question is whether this is some type of contam or the multi spore I used just happened to produce really tomentose growth in all 4 of my jars? I notice they really only have condensation around the growth, which I would assume is heat. Also, the pictures aren't the best but this is not the really vibrant white that I've seen in mycelium before.
I gave the jars a good shake, I'll update with what happens. ty

Bumping this. Jars haven't bounced back from the shake yet, which I'll take as a good sign.

looks ok. usually wait till 30% colonized before shake. if worried about contams dont shake.. see if changes color then toss.

Thanks, I was actually worried about cobweb mold specifically because it can look pretty similar to myc. However, I've also read that the chances of getting cobweb in a spawn jar are ridiculously low.

Updating this. It's been about 3 days since I shook them and I'm not sure what to think. I know there's way too much condensation in them and it really doesn't look good to me. It's weird though because they do seem to be getting increasingly white. These are trash though right? I have jars from the same batch of oats with b+ colonizing them and they do not look anything like this. There's also a lot of myc piss on the sides of the jar that the pictures don't show.

If I were you I’d throw that away and start again. Good luck dude you’ll get it. PRACTICE

I would spawn each jar to a shoebox and hope for the best. You might be pleasantly surprised.
