fluffy agar, contaminated?

howdy folks
so I;ve got some agar made to the following recipe: 3.5g MEA 4g agar 200ml water
Pc'd for 45 mins (as it's a 12 psi pressure cooker)
I'm on my 4th transfer from a PESA print from a good source, made in a SAB, with fairly good results so far.
the previous agars from this batch have gone to grain and so far look ok (can give pics if required)
these are fluffy as fuck!

they have spread out nice and circular, and the base of these pots are 44mm the myc reaches up 10mm at least
is this another mould? could the environment in the pot be too humid? (there was lots of condensation when they come out of the PC)
any ideas as I have 12 pots like this and am just about to put them to grain
cheers!

I've been getting some fluffy aerial growth too on the same agar recipe. I think it's normal. From what I read, try less nutrients to get less of that.

Because your last A2G transfer is doing well, I'm optimistic for you. It also makes me optimistic for my similar situation. Also, I was thinking it might have something to do with using the same agar recipe every transfer? Switching up the nutrients every few transfers is supposedly a good idea

My aerial growth is with B+ spores too. Good to know.
