Yes, this is multi-spore.

looks normal to me. carry on, keep an eye on it. probably just a weaker colonizer. i've gotten that with ms's several times, always turned out ok.

it appears that you have a contamination overlayed on your good grow. p. Cubensis doesn't grow like that.
you can wait a few days but it is unlikely that the jar is good. Looks like cobweb mold but it could be something else that will show up as another color pretty soon.

that just looks like mycelium
there are 2 types - one stringy and aggressive(better yields and faster colonization) and a fuzzy, cottony type that takes longer and seems to be less... tough.
there are no contaminations that are that brilliant white.
cobweb mold, I think it's called looks very similar to the whispy cottony mycelium, but if you put them side by side, the cobweb mold has a definitively greyer color to it - also I've never even heard of it displaying prior to birthing your cakes.
use the popcorn tek on this site it is godly.
pf tek yields less and contams more - it takes 2-3 times as long to colonize, as well.
popcorn ftw - use the 1 1/2 pint jars - they are not shouldered and humidity/gas exchange seems to work WAAAY better.
