Cobweb mold identification help. ( with pictures )

i inoculated 4 plates of agar. On the “co” strain I thought that it was mycelium growing. Here’s the kicker. It was much faster than the other plates I poured and much more vigorous.
Here it is during the first signs of growth - 6 days after inoculation.

It looks very whispy but no grey tinge like cobweb mold. It also isn’t growing as quickly as I’ve heard people talking like it does.
4 days later and the growth has been steadily growing. It is very thick, growing up to the top of my agar dish. Here it is currently,

I know people have told me just to start doing my transfers, and I will. But I was hoping if anyone could positively identify it as a contaminate or not. This is my First time growing and I ordered the agar so I do not have any to transfer to just yet. Thank you everyone in advance.

Thank you! The rate of growth compared to the other agar dishes made me concerned. Is it normal for the mycelium to be that thick? Colonizing all the way to the lid?
Really thankful a trusted cultivator such as yourself chimed in. I really appreciate it.

Yeah when spores germinate you have a lot of strains on top of strains mixed in the bunch so you have no idea what you're working with ,for a couple transfers it may just look fuzzy or tomentose before you see much separation

Thanks for the pointers cron- the growth has continued to steadily grow. It currently overtook the smaller patch of mycelium growth. I noticed when the two were neck and neck that the smaller growth was much whiter. Like bleach white compared to a lightly peach white. And to that effect there is a small and faint browning happening to a part of the thick mycelium growth I originally thought was mold.
Could the browning have been from too much light exposure? I’ll upload a picture ASAP.
