Is this still normal? Specifically the white fuzz? Smell is pungent, but good pungent, not foul …

That looks like the bad fuzz to me, I would not recommend drinking that

That's bad mold. Gonna have to dump it. Just happened to me too on two batches in a row.

Kombucha doesn't fuzz. That's mold, toss it.

Kombucha does develop pellicle, but its smooth and kinda looks like jellyfish skin. That would be normal.
