1.) is that brf? 2.) do you have a metal lid underneat the tyvek? 3.) That sort of looks like cobweb to me, but i cant tell, has that growth "exploded"(grew really fast overnight)?

i third the cobweb. 5 Days would be a record if that were mycellium from spores.
describe how you inoculated the jar.

There is a lid under the tyvek, i injected through 5 holes(4 on ouside of lid, one in the center) the tepeture has bee from 76-86 unstable, i need to get a new fish tank heater. A frined told me h020 mix will kill the cobwebs, any suggestion? and should i spray all 4 jars? only 1 jar is molding the others are damn slow

5 days isn't bad.
If you can get mycelium started from a multi spore incoulation faster..your doing real good. I can and so can alot of others.
I can have a fully colonized pf cake in 7 to 10 days.
You have to have alot of patience when you first start this hobby... it will take you a awhile to get everything dialed in right.
----
I'm also concerned about the use of the filter disc on the jars.
Using filter discs with 1/2 pint jars might dry out the substrate too much.
I hope that you have a lid under that filter.

dont toss it yet, let it go, it could just be weak myc. If you have a cobweb infection you'll know. Cobweb grows at an extremely fast rate. One day you'll see two spots and 24 hrs later see a whole jar full of it.

I reconsider using this friends advice... If I was you!~
Never open a jar that isn't fully colonized in an open room. I don't care how sterile you think that room is...its not sterile unless you spend thousands upon thousands of dollars with the right equiptment to make a sterile room.
Odds are that you contaminated the jars by opening them in an open room. You will know in a few days. When you start to see the dreaded GREEN show up. Then your gonna wanna chuck em!~
H202 can be used for some contams on cakes and casings. I wouldn't put H202 into an uncolonized jar of substrate.
