Mycelium or Mold?

Hey guys, I inoculated some homemade agar dishes with a spore syringe I made and one of em is showing this growth. Is this myc or is it some other mold? Its been about a week, no more than two weeks since I added the spores. This fuzzy growth seems kind of flat and ugly compared to the fluffy gorgeous ones I've seen on posts here. I also scraped some spores onto plates today so hopefully that works better than the syringe route. Please lemme know what you think also sorry in advance for the condensation, idk how to get rid of that without adding contams.

Looks like mycelium. If it remains pure white for weeks this is a good sign it's not mold.

Mycelium growth tends to be more sparse/randomized when germinating from spores. The nice and fluffy ones you see around the forum are often the result of several transfers starting from a wedge of mycelium from a previous plate.
My suggestion for the plate you posted (unless someone else wants to chime in) is to keep an eye on it for a few days. If it doesn't seem to be turning colors or sprouting anything but fluffy white myc, Try taking some transfers.

I also have some 3-year Cambodian prints to get rid of. DM me if interested

I checked it from the bottom and it's not looking too good. However, the top bit looks fine for now. Would it be alright to transfer the top parts of the plate that aren't showing any discoloration? Sorry this is my first plate I've seen some growth on so I wanna make sure before I do anything. Thanks again yall!
