Hey all,
I'm starting to suspect contams. for the second grow in a row. Last time I used ms syringes to WBS, and I ended up with Cobweb Mold https://www.reddit.com/r/shrooms/comments/mnmyh3/classic_is_this_cobweb_mold_post/. I ended up tossing the tubs in the compost, and still ended up with this, which was a little consolation:
. Same syringes this time, but I went to agar (2-3xfers), then to wild oats (PC'd for 2 hours @15). The jars took ~4 weeks to consolidate (may have been a bit on the dry side?). I did not use the far right jar that hadn't consolidated fully (I have 3 other jars that didn't fully consolidate yet...they are almost done now). I spawned into straight coir (pasteurized) in shoeboxes. I'm around 6 days in, and every one of my shoeboxes has a concerning looking fine mesh over the top. Did I blow it again somewhere? I'm hoping my shoeboxes aren't contamed, but worried. Strange part is they're all looking exactly the same, but came from different jars w/ different agar plates. Here are pics from each step--the agar pic is some serious black contam, anybody recognize it? I didn't use that one to inoculate. Wish I took more pics of my agar plates. Is the fact that my jars took >4 weeks to consolidate concerning? (shook at 30%). Thanks for any thoughts!

I think your substrate looks good and your spawn looks healthy as well (pretty close to how my oat based spawn looks sometimes.)

Well that is encouraging, thank you! We'll see how it goes. I have an unexpected 10-day trip coming up a week from today, and we're on day 6 of colonization. Think I am going to need a shroom sitter?

You should look into getting some assistance as it will likely fruit right after you need to leave.
