Is this Cobweb on Agar or Myc?

This is about 5 days old. Seems like all the white growth is happening directly from the spores. But the growth seems fuzzy, and spotted.

What do you say? Cobweb or Healthy start?

Did you scrape huge chunks of a spore print all over that dish?

Also, the edges of that dish should be wrapped tightly in parafilm or saran wrap. Preferably parafilm, but I doubt you have any laying around like you would saran wrap.

Hey! Thanks for the response.

I had some old prints on tin foil. Opened it up, turned it and it just poured on.

I know the amount of spores is overkill, but they are probably 3 years old. So, I figured the more the better because I assumed not very many would respond.

Turns out they are doing pretty well.

I will wrap in saran wrap when I do a transfer later today. Thanks for the tip!

The only future issue I can see on some plates is differentiating minor mold growth from healthy mycelial growth because of how it's spread out.

Agreed.

OP, make sure to make a few transfers from different spots. If you only did one transfer, and that happened to be a mold colony, you'd be wasting your time. If you do say, 5 transfers, I imagine a few or all will be cubensis mycelium.
