What beautiful monstrosity might be growing in this jar?Question/Advice

I had made some jars to colonize with lions mane mycelium and ran out of spores for the final jar..so i just left it alone and forgot about it. Something else (several somethings, really) seems to have taken up living in this jar instead, and I am wondering if people have any ideas about what it could be.

I am most interested in the rusty brown tendril like thing - it seems so ominous. I will look up how to dispose of this jar safely as i don't know if I have ended up accidentally cultivating something unsafe in this forgotten jar. There is a fluffiness to some of the white structures inside the jar, but not all. Some seem rather dense, a bit like a well colonized mycelium jar? but I am nottttt going to open it to give it a poke. Any ideas?
