LC cobweb?

My LC has been incubating at 84 degrees for the past three days, and today I noticed a thin layer of white fuzz in the liquid. I wouldn't describe it as being brilliant, white, and ropey... I suppose it looks more like a cobweb, but I'm not sure I know what the difference is between those two.
Can anyone post pics of cobweb mold in LCs for me to compare to? I don't know what to look for, and I don't know if cobweb mold even grows in LC.

I'm pretty sure cobweb can't grow in liquid. Of course if your LC is tinted it won't look white. Also in LC mycelium won't be very ropey, but more of a little fuzz dome on the bottom of the jar.

I suspect that Cobweb is quite capable of growing in a viable LC medium, though I can't scientifically back this up. Actually, I'd like to know without a doubt if it can because I've had to chuck many an LC because I was getting cobweb contams after Innoc. Can somebody please verify if this is possible.

cobweb mold does thrive with high humidity and high temps do seem to speed up growth of bacteria and mold i would keep around 74-77 degrees F i suppose it could grow in liquid culture seeing how mycl can correct me if I'm wrong i would like to know also

Dactylium is not a contaminant of LC, although other molds and bacteria are, and squirting spores into sugar water is not the proper way to make liquid cultures in the first place, so I can't help ya. For best results, use your spores to inoculate grains or brf cakes. They will colonize faster than LC, and when finished, there is no guessing. If they smell and look good, they are good. At that time you can do a g2g to get the expanded amounts of mycelium you desire, or make fifty or more liquid mycelium syringes from each quart of colonized grains. RR
