ok i got a case of pre strelized grain and i inocculated 3. today i went to get two more and when i bulled one jar out of the box of jars that hadnt been used yet i pulled out a jar that had thick white stuff in it, it completely took over the jar and it looks like mysclum(i cant spell).ive never used grain but i know what it looks like...it doesnt make sence..anyone think that this could be an accident and some mysclum was sent by accident or am i just looking at a really simial too myscluym contam. please tell me im so confused.

You should be asking -- WHOEVER -- you got the loaded jars from? 
A pic would help to answer your question.

Since you haven't innoculated the jar, that is mostly likely cobweld mold or something similar. I wouldn't try using the jar.

Wow, lucky you! That pic does suck, but it definately looks like strong mycelium growing there. Are you sure it's not one of the ones you innoculated?

I would say you got a contaminated jar . If you bought a jar that is "presterilized" , it should have nothing growing in it . Maybe they sent you a jar you should not have gotten ? Contact them and ask why jar is colinized , ask about a replacement jar .

If you had better quality pictures we could tell you what it is for sure.
Either that is mycelium in the jar....or you have a contam. Like someone else mentioned you might ask the person that you got the substrate from if they might have sent you a inoculated jar by mistake.
I personally haven't ever gotten a white contam in a Quart jar of Rye.
good luck!
