Cobweb Mold vs Mycelium

Hey all,
I should have taken more pictures when I was experimenting with agar but I didn't have the foresight to think other people would find it useful. I am new to the hobby and have had a couple of successful grows so far, but before I started growing I practiced my hand at agar plates for a few months.
One of the first experiments I did was make a few plates without using a sterile technique (however the agar itself was sterilized) or spores to see what contaminants I naturally have in my growing space. I compared these plates to other ones that I created using sterile technique and spores. I kept a few as controls as well. It ended up working pretty well, some of my plates grew lipstick mold, others grew green mold, and then one plate got hit with some nasty cobweb mold. This was awesome as my main reasoning for doing this was to learn the difference in appearance between mycelium and cobweb mold, as the pictures I found online or in books never showed me a direct side by side comparison.
Below are some pictures I took. The first picture is mycelium, the second picture is cobweb mold, and the third picture is a side by side view. Please excuse the bacteria on each plate (the yellow slime) as I took the pictures a few days after I had opened each plate to get a better look. You will also notice the mycelium is weak and tomentose, rather than rhizomorphic. This is mycelium spawned directly from spore solution I had purchased online. After a few transfers, tbe mycelium became much more rhizomorphic as seen by the fourth picture.
Hope this helps with anyone new trying ti figure out if their plate has mycelium or white mold on it!

Fairly certain that the second picture is not cobweb.

What do you mean 2nd picute? Thank you for your answer. So this is mycelium? How can I know if it's cobweb?

Start your own thread homeboy! Hes talking to OP.
But I don't agree with the assessment, I think the second agar in the OP is consistent with cobweb disease H. odoratus/C. mycophilum.


 ^This one gives some good close ups of the mycelium growing on the surface of a mushroom
^Here is pure added on top of some mushrooms, check that growth


Any way to add a PDF? Mostly from this good read https://amb-express.springeropen.com/track/pdf/10.1186/s13568-020-01085-5.pdf
