Mold or oyster mycelium?

Ok folks, I need a hand identifying an unknown mold, or normal looking oyster mycelium.
Firstly my spawn is at the bottom of my container, not mixed with the substrate. I did however use the same fork to add the substrate to my container.
I have taken images, two using a SAB with added cling film.

To me some debris from the fork is growing out. I see no green, black or brown colours.
This is currently 2.5 days old.

After further thought there is the possibility of Golden oyster spores. I have recently handled Golden oyster fruits indoors.
Either way I am getting data from this possible failure.
Previous attempts to grow fresh spores using the WL Tek failed. Even with all the extra nutrition, and full sterilization.
I thus considered the WL Tek, coir like, and safe to assemble open air. I have recently added tea to the tek, for additional carbons.
If these are from spores, they germinated and grew out in just 2.5 days. So when adding tea leaves I can no longer assemble open air.
So the results:
It is spores, mold or otherwise, I have a rich substrate. It is from spawn debris, I learn to change forks.

Here are a few Golden oyster WL Tek grows, no tea, looking very similar.

First post's pictures looks suspicious IMO.
I don't know if that's oyster myc but it looks weird.

It's on his WL tek medium. Second set of pics definitely looks like oyster myc by comparison.

Guess I should read up
I don't see anything too suspicious tho
Contams show themselves very quickly. By b that I mean once a contam begins to show it rapidly multiplies and will be very noticeable in a day or two more

Ok, managed to take some more images before going to work, So no SAB.

Im 99% sure its Golden oyster, no spore production. Lesson learned, one potent substrate.

Well here is the conclusion, they are from spores, most likely Golden oyster.
This means without tea, I can assemble open air, no mold infections. With tea I must handle like grains, because its very potent.
This time I do wave bye bye to grains, the bonus of tea. Antibacterial, rather than attract via starch etc.
So strong, It can grow spores in 2.5 days.

Very aggressive mycelium, golden usually aren't that fast . Thinking you had a piece on the fork. What do I know I've been wrong before.

I did amazingly for spores. I am very impressed with the more than grain like potency.
