So most plates are still good and look like this

Then a bunch have a few bacteria dots. Yellow and red are the common colors.

And then we got this nasty fucker

I have a bunch of plates with this mold forming, or white mold with green in the middle. Not a single mass of mycelium so that just tells me to step my sterile game up even more. Im gonna use the bleach soaked towel method in my SAB next time and I just replaced my air purifier filter. They're only 10$ so im gonna do thay every 2-4 weeks for the fuck of it and make sure to clean it more often. I went thru the room with lysol again, walls and everything.

Well here we go.... Third agar attempt. Will keep following SAB teks to a tee. I ordered $60 in spore prints today. Not sure what to say other than syringes and my sterile tek must suck and I am getting 0 results.
I have WBS drying and will PC tonight. Inoculate tomorrow. Dont want it too wet..
Im not gonna lie, im not going to give up, but I've finally hit the point of being discouraged. This shit isnt as easy as all these fuckin youtubers make it out to be.
"Inject spores into bag, put spawn into monotubs, harvest mushrooms." Fuck you "like-smashing" pieces of shit. This is so much harder than growing weed. Fuck...

I was told to buy spore syringes and all have been 0% due to my own faults. Im willing to suck a dick for mycelium at this point.

I appreciate it man and ive been impatient. I talk to friends who want mushies and it just gets frustrating to think im doing everything right and getting no results. Im not trying to be a dick, I just made a reddit post and got like 10 different people offering spores and went with the guy with the best reviews. Fuck the money, native americans would trade pretty stones and fish as money. Cant wait for my microchip, woohah. I have patience, i just didnt expect to fuck up this much with no results. Ive messed up weed grows but not like this. I honestly thought it was going to go easier than this, I know all the warnings about being clean and I fucked up somewhere. I'll get better...

Don't toss em yet, especially if it's only been 4 days since you noc'd em up. Germination can take over 2 weeks with MS solution to agar.

Edit: its toxic black mold from what i gathered on google. It eventually all turns black and releases those nasty fuckin spores and will make you sick.
Pretty sure its common black/white mold. You can tell because of the black spores its already producing. Nasty fucker. Im hoping the white mass in my last picture doesnt turn out to be the same, but i got a feeling it is.

Yes. I toss my moldy plates but from what im learning it looks exactly like that.
See how the ends twist over each other?
Also when I zoom in, you can see the black specks in your pic. Mycelium doesnt have black specks/mold spores.

Looks like mold to me as I assume you're not dropping solution on the very edge of the plate and this is where satellite mold colonies like to show up for me.
