Botrytis under microscope

I have something very similar looking. I’ve been dealing with PM and I’m thinking it might be PM?

I just spotted it today and if it gets worse I’m going to spray some Dr Zymes.

Yea looks like it. I havent looked at them all under a loop I just was in get it the hell out of here mode but the couple times I did I could see the mycelium like your showing.
 
i would be careful spraying anything Id think is just as bad to consume. Idk what that is I just went for copper and potassium bicarb and cant use it in flower. I would toss anyway due to the insane number of spores and mycelium the buds will have. Just grosses me out into trashing it. Unless like my last chop, two mini spots of pm 8 full wks flower Im chopping/keeping it.

Dr Zymes claims it’s safe to spray up until harvest. The copper stuff from Captain Jacks isnt safe to spray at all at any point according to that company. I emailed them about it and they said under no circumstance should you spray that on a smokable plant, but I’m not sure if yours is similar to that stuff.
 
It is that yes but yea its nice things exist but consuming spores is pretty serious. I just would start again with something new tried out. Last I need is this hobby getting me sick.
 
I got pretty lucky and got zero mold a good amount of times, imagine if I actually worked to prevent it. Itll happen and those are the only harvests worth having. These things usually hit early enough that the crop aint worth nothin to me but if it did itd have to be real small and lucky and technically thats not good either.
 
From what I read only a small spec of mold can produce 60k spores or more so I just look at it like that. Very contaminated. Im only doing it to try a new strain I really really want to try and about to, its drying. Camt dry soon enough lol.
 
The OP's pics look like the sap from broken trichomes that has strung itself across a few other trichomes. But all the subsequent pics are definitely spores.

To be honest, those pics don't show enough information. The first pic looks like it, but some of the others just look like trichome sap or some kind of hair or fiber. I would need more pics.
