It's hard to see what's condensation and what's in the plate... But if that huge whitish, smooth film is growing on the agar than its probably bacteria. From what I've read, 2 days is plenty for aggressive bacteria or mold to grow. Mushroom myc does not grow that fast, and is more organized

thank you for taking the time... the thing is tho, it seems to be the mark of where the liquid from the syringe ran onto it; I'm think it made a water mark or reliquified some of the agar

He was being sarcastic. You can't see anything in your pictures worth commenting on really. You need better pictures and turn off that LED as it is not helping at all.

oh ok lol... well what I wanted you to see was the shape of the mark.  I wanted to know how quick I was confirmed just to be absolutely certain.  I already suspected what they were from.  It's not bacteria... my place is super clean and never had a problem with bacteria.

Bacteria is everywhere, no matter how clean you are. It's not a problem until it contaminates your agar.

no it's not, but thanks.  It was there hours afterward, as soon as the agar solidified back up... I should have just asked how many drops to put on the agar.  I'll take more pics after germinated.

Yes, it is. Mad Season is a Trusted Cultivator which means "In our constant efforts to improve the site and the dependability of mushroom cultivation information for our new members, we've decided to implement this tag to identify members who have proved by their own grows and advice given to others, to be knowledgeable and experienced cultivators, as well as teachers.

Your plates are bacterial af, I was going to post the same. When you ask for assistance and shit on people who are experts here you're not going to achieve much in your growing.

Just an FYI, bacteria is by far the fastest growing contam around. Some species are known to double in bacteria counts every 20 minutes. Within 2 days, it will have easily covered a whole plate.

Here's an idea, take pics right now in better lighting. Still though, I thoroughly believe it's bacterial.

You are a really big help.  I think that one guy jumped a gun, but I WAS a bit of a wise-ass.  My fault... you are probably right;  will there be a smell if I open the parafilm?  like most bacteria?  Calm down Alchemycologist

Depends on the bacteria. Some will have almost no odor, so all you'll be smelling is some sweet smelling agar. Chances are though that you'll be able to smell something pretty damn funky. Just open a plate up and smell. Pretty doubtful you'll smell shit through the parafilm.

Take a better picture already. Much easier and less risky than opening it up.

Even though the pics are terrible I agree with Mad season 100%. Those plates are pure bacteria. Spotting those details in a pic taken with a potato is why MadSeason is a TC.
