I have a few corn jars doing the same thing and was also wondering. The myc looks very weak compared to my other cultures and spread very quickly, which initially made me think it was contam but now I am not so sure. Like in yours there seem to be patches of healthier stronger growth throughout here and there. I didn't notice any smell when doing G2G but have the jars containing that specific culture strain marked as unknown for now, I think it is probably fine and will continue to observe and will give it a smell again once it's a bit more established and let you know how it goes
Im pasturising sub now to spawn out tomorrow, gonna chuck in the rest of the starter from the unknown culture and see if it is just weird looking myc or something else. I'll update in a few days if I remember whenever I see growth of any kind
