  This may be bad news.


  Yeast, when fermenting, simply makes the mead cloudy (plus producing CO2).


  If you see ropey, mucus like stuff this may very well be a bacterial infection.


  Leave it alone for several days and then pull the the cork/airlock and smell it. If it as a slightly acidic yeasty smell all is well. If it has a foul smell then it most likely has a bacterial infection.
