AMAZINGLY slow growth (contam or myc?)

So, I purchased a mycobag from a shady dealer (online) and I was very sterile and for 1 month, there was no growth, so i gave up on the bag and just ignored it (same conditions as before though) and then today, I realilzed that there were 3 spots of white growth...
Is this white growth mycelium? It is odorless and looks like mycelium has in jars I have made in the past. But, Shouldnt the spores have grown if I did everything correct?
total time was 2 months, for 3 small 1x1inch patches to appear

sounds like it could possibly be cube myc. a contam would most likely spread quicker. next time use a shroomery sponsor.

maybe the spores were really old or something, but that sounds wrong. what temps have you given it and where was it growing?

If it smells sour its probably bacillus. It also might appear very wet. Pcing the grain again is not a good idea. Best to throw out and start over.

ok, maybe it is, but from what i remember, sour rot created lots of moisture, my current bag has none.
maybe a stalled sour rot?
