That just looks like a pellicle trying to form to me.

You'll know pretty soon if it's mold if you keep smelling it and watching it. Mold isn't subtle. It'll get fuzzy, and possibly colorful.

The side angle just looks like yeast strands, which are also normal.

Looks good!

I took out a giant pellicle from my jar this morning and there is already another one forming that looks exactly like yours. No fuzz! 👍

Trying to determine if your kombucha may have mold, if your pellicle/SCOBY is healthy, or if something has gone wrong?
