Trichoderma? Need some advice (First time, be gentle :D)

Hello guys ! Necommer here, i recently brought a growing kit (i thought growing mush was a complicated thing, lurking some time on this forum proved me wrong lol)and something's been growing on it but it feel like trich. I've done a whole lot of research on the forum and the only answer i see is trich... Could anyone confirm that?

 For info i started this box 5-6 days ago and i might have under-vented it. Trying to mist very 6-10 hours following advices from the interwebz. Any advice will do!
Can i still try to grow some shrooms with this or is it completely unusable? It would make me sad but it'll be a nice opportunity to try and do that shit by myself !
Thanks in advance! Cheers.

Throw that out as soon as you finished reading my post.
When you're done, read these threads: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19058406/fpart/1/vc/1 https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24452797/fpart/1/vc/1
And when you've got over the other stages of grief, read some teks. If you used the whole syringe you got with that kit, get a print or syringe from a reputable vendor.
Then start where all good things in myco start: Agar. https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/24330957/page/1 https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/19208976

Yep, super bad contammed-- you also want to keep the bacterial spores on that from wafting into your living space-- seal/bagged and straight outside to the garbage!

There you go. On the right tract now. Forget the kits and learn to use agar. I would suggest using prints than syringes..

Yeah i've spent the day reading whatever intel i could find. Why prints would be better?Aren't they more complicated to handle? I'm actually in a pretty small flat, i don't really have the space to make a full fledged sterile room to experiment... So i was planning on trying bod's monotub tek, something simple and not occupying too much space.

They are less complicated imo to handle although I still havent found a way to stop the damn thing from sliding around while using a loop lol, and you can make your own supply of spore syringes from prints, but not the other way round. Just for economical consideration: even a "weak" print showing only traces of spore depositing will have billions of spores, and therefore you can do what I used to do: use an innoculating loop to inoculate some agar plates, and in the same session make as many as half a dozen spore syringes off the same print. For the same price as a single syringe, you can have a stack of 'nocced up plates and a handful of syringes.

Most of us probably have small areas dedicated to growing. All you REALLY need is a still air box, a table you can work on (I got a bigger one just for myc work, I do not regret this purchase whatsoever) and some space to store your shit (I have at least 2 dozen totes to store everything from empty glassware to petris to grain jars to colonising shoeboxes.

If you are stuck for space, a monotub tek is a little too big IMO, as in the same space (and even stored in the exact same tote you can later use for monos) you can have a few shoeboxes, which split up your grows into smaller units, allowing you to isolate contaminated spawn while you're learning. I have not grown more than 2-3 monos, and stopped using them all-together, mostly due to space, too many independent varieties being grown in parallel, and preference.

If you are growing for personal reasons and learning, a consistent cycle of smaller spawning options has a better turnaround time and more than enough yeilds for one dude to handle.
