Plate 1: none of that looks healthy. Mycelium should be ropey (rhizomorphic) or fluffy (tomentose), that looks like a blobby bacterial colony.

Plate 2: definitely contaminated, that's probably some mycelium holding on for dear life in the center while surrounded by a sea of bacteria colonies. This one's a candidate for transfer but be prepared for a tough fight to get it clean.

Plate 3: Inoculated with a spore syringe? That looks like a water spot. Probably the syringe water dissolved and redistributed the agar medium before evaporating/being absorbed into the medium. The deed has been done, so no harm in leaving it alone to see what happens.

Plate 5 (you skipped 4?): I'm 99% sure that's contamination. Take the lid off and smell it, if it smells like anything other than agar medium or fresh mushrooms, it's definitely contaminated (this holds true for plates 1 and 2 as well). Again, the plate's already doing it's thing, so you can just let it sit and see what happens.
