Agar dish with wild spore material. Developed cottony like structure very rapidly, within 2 days, suspected as either tomantose growth or cottonweb mold.
Day 5: now forming rhizomorphic patterns around new growth, still seems suspicious.

Its a pre-mixed MEA medium. Other species germinate and grow well. This is a woodlover. Should I try a transfer or even grow it out? I'll leave it alone anyways.

Right on...I'll be honest, that plate isn't looking too promising...looks off to me.

I'll have to agree. I'm just going to let it sit a bit longer based on other threads, and I haven't seen mold grow like that before. So it will be interesting to see if it changes colors.

It just looks like a very malnourished mycelium to me...very weak or a contam.
