Does the color of your growth look like white mushroom mycelium in the jars below, or the grey cobweb mold on the petri dish?

You have to provide more information for any assistance. We need jar size, substrate material, inoculation methodology, level of sterility followed, length of steriliztion time, etc.

brown rice with verm. Pretty good sterilization. Old spores but sterile. Maybe one week until visible mold. It seems like the jars have both white and grey. Doesn't look like cobwebmold. It is not forming on top, only on the side of the containers.

When the mycelium first starts to grow, it's very thin and whispy, so you might just be seeing the substrate through it. See if the grey areas turn very white. If so, it was mushroom mycelium all along.

Then it was most likely mushroom mycelium all along.
