WBS jars, sorry, don't use pf.
if you have cobweb in jars, toss them out. or pc them to kill the mold and clean them really well after. cobweb on a casing can be stopped. in a jar treat it like any other mold.

Unfortunately I have had some cobweb jars in the past. It will look totally colonized in less than a week, but it will not look like filaments or strands, kind of a pasty white which will turn grey shortly thereafter. Even the quickest of PF jars will take 14-16 days, so keep that in mind for future grows.

Cobweb is grey. If your growth is white, let it keep going and see how it comes out. Here's mushroom mycelium in a petri dish on the left, cobweb on the right. As you can see, not all mushroom mycelium is rhizomorphic. RR

I couldn't resist, I popped one of the jars to see what was insided. The top layer of vermiculite was covered in the white-greyish stuff. I guessing thats cobweb mold right, Mycelium wouldn't be growing there?

I popped one of the lids and found the stuff growing on the top layer of vermiculite, That means in cobweb mold right? i don't think mycelium would be growing there.

Actually, it is not particularly uncommon to encounter mycellium that have grown over the vermiculite layer. So that is not doing to tell you whether it is contaminated or not.
However, "grey" is NOT the colour of mycellium. mycellium is snow white sometimes with a faint blue bruising.
So it may in fact be contamination. If you use a peroxide solution you may be able to overcome the cobweb.
