Transfer clean mycelium away from contaminants to a new plate. That is the whole point of agar.

They look like mycelium, but like u daid, penecilium also looks like that b4 it turns green. It should have started by now tho, I think it's safe to say it's mycelium. Penecilium grows in circles like that but usually the center would be green already.

And you don't worry about that spreading tons of mold spores around your lab?

i think you've got some cube myc growing. I'm guessing you just shot the load right onto the agar. I used to do this but have found streaking to be very beneficial. I recently started 7 new varieties from vendor syringes and they were all loaded with bacteria. But, thanks to the streaking tek, I was able to get clean (i think, time will tell) cultures with just one transfer.




And here they are a couple days later



If i hadn't streaked the agar, all that bacteria and myc would be growing together in a big pile. That'd making cleaning it up and identifying what is what a lot harder. In my opinion, when myc is piled up on itself or growing on top of bacteria, it looks a lot like what you've got there.

and yes, the fact that it hasn't turned green yet is a really good sign

Agar will favor contaminants, especially from a spore syringe.  You'll have much better luck with agar by using the zig zag motion mentioned above, but from a print rather than a syringe.
