Is this healthy mycelium? opinions please.

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.

Before you start...Do you have a Pressure Cooker and a Dehydrator? I highly recommend getting both!

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.

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.
