Weird types of growth

Ok, so heres the long story...
First grown went ok, a few bumps along the way but not to bad so far. I inoc.ed 6 jars of Burma and 6 of B . None of the Bermas ever did anything, but the B all started to grow.
Second grown didn't go so good. I hit up 12 jars with some syringes I had in the fridge for quite awhile and they started to look funny. I made a post of it here, I ended up chucking them all becouse it just didn't look right.
Now I'm on my 3rd batch and I'v hit up 12 more jars of B with a brand new, shroomery sponsor syringe and they've all started to grow. The problem is the growth looks just like it did on my 2nd run. In my previous thread I posted a pair of pics and most people said it looked ok, but honestly when I look at the pics I'd say they where alright too. But it really doesn't look like the type of growth I want when I look at the jars up-close.
I'v suspected cobweb from the start as the growth does resemble a cobweb inside the jar, however it doesn'nt grow as fast as they said cobweb should grow. I also birthed a cake way early yesterday and misted with peroxide, and the growth didn't "sizzle" or seem effected at all.
On my 1st grow I overheated an area of the incubation chamber with my heating pad which coused a couple of jars to be behind the rest. One is still way behind with a large chunk still left to colonize. The thing that really gets me is that the growth in my new jars looks nothing like the growth in my jars that are lagging behind. Should't they look alike? Any ideas about whats going on here?
I'll try to post a side by side later tonight

if the jars in your incubator overheated causing them to lag behind the rest of the jars, then they were probably dried out a bit by the heat which would explain the slow growth, and mycelium will look different in an overly dry substrate(more whispy, and not quite as *BRIGHT* white.)
maybe this helps. . .

i can't belive you chucked 12 jars of perfectly good pf cakes! you're just being paranoid... why do you find it so hard to belive your cakes are all right?
from my very limited expiriance with pf cakes i can tell you you're doing fine... my cakes look a little diffrent from one to the next... some seem to be rizomorphic while others are not, some are faster then others
just relaxe a little and let the mycilium do its thing!
