Dump it, clean the jar and try again.

You're just going to have to rely on your other 9 jars...

I only did three jars. Can you see why I can't lose this guy? He's my only hope. Isn't there something that can be done?

Well, at least you have most of your spore syringe left. Just use that to start some more. I would do at least 8 this time though.

You might try dunking it in peroxide. If it is cobweb that should kill it. But it will stunt the myc to a good extent.
Otherwise crumble and case it outside, you might get some fruits. Cobweb isn't dangerous to eat AFAIK. So the fruits would be fine.

peroxide kills cobweb, spray it from the bottle. stick your sprayer in the h2o2 bottle, and spray the entire thing, not just the spot of cobweb.

You had good advice earlier, but you kept asking until somebody told you what you wanted to hear. Cobweb(dactylium) rarely grows in jars. If you have a grey mold in a sealed jar, it's usually something far worse than cobweb and the jar is toast. Bury it in your yard in a shady spot and if it fruits later, the fruits are fine to eat.
Read up on and practice sterile procedures. If you used a vendor supplied syringe and a glovebox, then flame sterilized your needle, you would be fine if you followed the pf tek. Make sure your verm layer on top is totally dry. Also note for the future there is a contamination forum. RR

I can confirm that it is indeed cobweb mold. The three jars were my first grow, so I was basically just seeing how things would go, to get the hang of things before I get serious with growing. The reason I kept asking is because after searching through other posts related to my problem, I found MANY different answers, some shady and some alright. I was just seeing if anybody else had any suggestions. So RR, you're saying that cobweb mold is non-toxic to the fruits if they do actually fruit? After closer inspection of the casing, I see primordia developing on the opposite side of the mold. Why I don't know. I never did anything to initiate pinning. But hey, thanks for the help from all of you. I like to get many different perspectives before I make my decision. Peace.

No, that is not exactly what he is saying. He was talking about the OUTDOOR aspect of the fruiting with the CWed cake. Cobweb will be killed in your outdoor grow (as will any other indoor contams) making the fruits safe to eat. If you grow that shit indoors (pre contammed) you may get some fruits to develop, but you also run the risk of having the contam in the fruit. (As RR put it, food poisoning really sucks when you are vomiting into the toilet as its melting in front of you)
As far as the pinning on the other side, this may be a reaction from the myc due to the contam. The contam is present causing the myc to prematurely fruit (before it gets taken over) -Me

Good advise on here to listen to friend, I was gonna tell you too to just put it outside in a casing with some black kow or something similar and it will fruit sometime.
