What is this white fluff?

I have like 3 jars that are fruiting right now, and they have white fuzzy fluffy stuff on them. Is it rhizo myc or cobweb. On one that is in the beginning stages without pins, it is completely covered with it. On the others its here and there, and sometimes a lil bit on the mushrooms themselves. Also some of my shrooms arej ust really fat balls. They've been like this for 4 days or so, do you think they will grow longer? Oh and my sprayer sucks do you think it would be bad to quickly dunk these in water/h2o2 instead of spraying. Thanks so much.

It's cool. That is a sign of high humidity, but it's not a problem. Look at cobweb mold pics so you know what it looks like. Compare

Is there an easy way to find them, I was looking for good cobweb examples but the searches didn'twork too well for me.

If it's bright white (like mycelium white) and fluffy, then it's myc; cobweb is mainly wispy strands and is almost grey in color.
I've had the problem with the fluffy myc before, but I didn't know how to deal with it back then; that was the last time that I ever bothered with cakes.
Anyways, it's a sign of high temps & high humidity combined; don't worry about the humidity (high humidity with cakes is good) worry about the high temps in the FC. Cool that bitch down with bottles of ice:
Get 2 or more bottles full of water and put them (bottles #1 and #2) in the freezer. Take one of the bottles (bottle #1) out after the water is completely frozen in it, and stick it in the FC. After the ice in bottle #1 has turned back to water, put it back in the freezer and put bottle #2 into the FC. Repeat.
You want your FC to be at 77 degrees Fahrenheit maximum IME.
