Possible mold?

This seems to happen to me alot, its like a green moss/mold that grows over top on the mycelium. Its sad i never get nice white mycelium unless its without air supply, in this setup i used two coffee filters. Other than green ive gotten black and it appears to look like fried crap. The black almost usually never takes, and one time my green was so bad when i opened it it was a powder like you would experience from a fire extinguisher. My tit i just made is running at 91-94 below and 80-84 inside. can anyone help me identify my jars? they have been incubating since may 5th. also last question, as i am getting 91 degree temps from the bottom, and i have set it to 84, would this effect the bottom of my tit because i have myco bags that are sitting on it. ty.

It shouldn't be any other color than white. Take the lids off and smell it. If it smells rotten then yes its no good. If I had to decide just by looking at the pics I'd say yes it contaminated.

It seems no matter how many times it's said, people always forget. Or maybe they just haven't been informed yet.
Don't go around smelling molds, it CAN be a hazard to your health. I'll pass on re-telling why and all that mess. Just don't directly inhale mold like that.
If you really want to smell it and take the lid off to be sure. Do it outside and kind of use your hand as a fan - and fan the air from the jar to your face. That way you don't get a burst of shit in your face (could get ya sick).
And me personally, after taking 4 months to get rid of green - I've learned that if it doesn't look right, don't put it off as "it's nothing." Trash the bitch or isolate it. They longer it stays the more likely it will spread elsewhere.

Actually you did. Re-read what you wrote before you try to make a witty comeback. I'd get my comeback, but i'd have to get if off your mama's lip. 
Next time specify, it'd suck to see someone fucked up something big time because you failed to eleborate.

Not many people know.
Don't assume something so pivotal.

Wrong forum, but you can safely smell bacteria contaminated jars through the filter without removing the lid. Molds don't need to be sniffed, they can be seen. RR
