Thanks everyone for your replies. I looked at the various asbestos images, and couldn’t find anything that looked like what I had, but when I saw mention of asbestos in paint that got me suspecting that to be my case.
PDieter, your links sound exactly like what I see, which is a lot like your picture but definitely with more fluff and crystals to it, probably due to being inside in an enclosed space. Your post has been a tremendous relief to me. I was beginning to feel like I was in over my head.
I’ll still get the stuff tested to be on the safe side, but I’ll stop making plans for a visit by the asbestos removers. I’m sure I’ll need them soon enough for the popcorn ceiling.
