Contamination On Agar? ID and Transfer Help

I took a long break from cultivation, and I've had some bad experiences lately. I swear I can't even tell what cubensis mycelium looks like anymore. I tried germinating spores from an aa+ print. It's been 9 days.
What is going on in this dish?

This thing looks pretty disgusting to me.


A different section that looks less like cobweb.

Here's another plate where only one section was showing growth.


Let me know what you guys think.

Looks like mycelium to me.
You said you started these from spore print? When I started my agar from spore it looked like that too. After I did an agar2agar transfer, they looked WAY better. I can almost guarantee that if you do an agar2agar transfer they'll look more like what you're expecting.

I'm mainly concerned about how quickly that cottony mass is growing. It's very aerial too, and it looks thicker and messier than the other cultures. If it is cobweb, would it be a bad idea to open up the plate and transfer the healthy sections?
Thank you for your input my dudes... I feel a bit more confident about the last one. I think I just have the contamination heebie-jeebies after losing an entire batch of jars to a mysterious contaminant.
