Cobweb mold

I am assuming this is cobweb mold. I dumped this grow, cleaned with bleach, left outside for a week then wiped down after I brought back in. I started a new grow and it is starting again. It's not nearly as aggressive as last time. Can I stop it or not worth it? Do I need to sterilize the room so this doesn't keep repeating?

…I’m not sure but I’d say you might actually be one of the few people to actually have cob web mold…I’ll let someone else weigh in on what to do.

That's all mold right there. Not sure if cobweb or not but that doesn't matter.
You can't stop it or cure it and you can't sterilize a room. You can disinfect it but that wont stop the problem.
Mold and it's spores are a fungus. It dies as easy as the mushroom fungi we're trying to grow.
This is coming from either your agar, your technique transferring your grain, or possibly your coir prep.
Or it could be your grain not being prepared and sterilized right, which leads to bacteria, that weakens the mycelium allowing it to be susceptible to the millions of spores that are in the air at all times.
So lets start with some pictures of your dishes and some colonizing jars that are almost ready to use and we can start narrowing it down.

I appreciate the info... unfortunately I did not take photos of the entire process but I will next time. The grain bags were purchased and supposedly very sterile. I would say the transfer from bag to tub was not as careful as it should have been and likely where this contamination took hold.

The process of putting it in a tub doesn't cause contamination IF the spawn was clean. We all spawn tubs right in the open air. I do them on my filthy man cave kitchen floor in the dog hair zone lol
Buying a bag you have absolutely no idea if it was sterile. If I was selling a bag I'd say it was very sterile too
Then if you just injected a spore syringe into the bag, that was probably where your contamination came from. Spores aren't sterile, mushrooms grow in open air. Plus some Joe from somewhere land made it too and you don't know how good they are at it.
