That is not P. cubensis mycelium, you have a bacterial infection mate.

Agreed. That birdseed is way too wet man. That's why I moved to popcorn for awhile. It's hard to get the water content right sometimes. I find just letting it strain won't do. I lay it out on a cookie sheet with a fan over it mixing it up occassionally for a good half hour.
Time to start over and this time hopefully with a pressure cooker.

Center one mucor or just too wet? I can't tell. but yeah, bird seed is tough. Popcorn confounds some people but if they boil the kernels just until they see a few skins break on them and then they rinse well and then they DRY those suckers - there shouldn't be a problem.

Well, your odds are pretty slender there. There are all sorts of cavities in your substrate that may not get to a critical temperature and if you didn't boil progressively, you will almost surely have "live" endospores left in your substrate, it only takes a single one to ruine your project. Pressure cookers are for a reason, and that reason is 250 degrees under steam pressure rather than 212.

Thanx for the info I soaked the corn for 20 hours and boiled it for a few minutes then dried corn and jarred then boiled again and let cool then inoculated them

I think 2 of the corn jars are colonizing there's a white web forming over the corn
I dont see any filter disks ??
if you dont have access use tyvek envelopes ..
allows air exchange but reduces contams .
best of luck !!
