a little agar work(newb to it)

so i know these look horrible, im trying to get my feet wet in agar. all work is done in a SAB. and i know where i fucked up with the condensation on the lid. ill fix it next go at pouring plates.
any tips, advice or help will be greatly appreciated.
so this one looks like trich, i think. i made a test LC with the syringe and and then a test grain jar and it got trich quick so i dumped it. there was one spot that looked semi clean so i transfered it to a new agar plate.

so this one looks like black mold and some bacteria. i took three wedges and xfered to three different plates trying to get at least one clean one.

straight up bacteria?

straight up trich or black mold?

thanks guys! the other agar plates i have look pretty good, albeit there are several mycal growths so its gonna be a bitch getting a mono strain but thats better than contams!!
let me know what you think.

Toss all that shit dude. If you know where you fucked up then good, that's how you learn. If I were to guess tho, you touched the agar.

Take a spoon, scrape that shot out in the toilet and flush it.

Your plate #3 looks okay from where you took your transfers.
If you stack your plates when you pour them and let them cool like that, it will help reduce condensation. Also keeping them at a stable temperature works miracles. If you think the temp fluctuates too much at your place, putting them in an insulated cooler or lunchbox will help.

That's is horrible advice. Nothing goes in a toilet except piss, shit, and toilet paper. I had to replace all my sewage lines because some nasty fucks before me thought it was cool to put whatever down the shitter.

Only way I can say is to keep trying. Smallest drop possible on the plates, spread out as much as possible. Maybe in 50 plates you can get a couple of clean germinations. Really depends just how many contam spores are in the syringe. It's gonna be hard because trich mycelium looks a lot like cube mycelium at first until it sporulates.
