Yes it is contamination but that is ok. That is the whole point of using agar. You can take a small slice of healthy mycelium from that dish and transfer it to another dish. Keep doing so until you get only clean and healthy growth.

That's bad. Looks like E. Coli. I clean up a lot of cultures infected with a lot of different things and personally I'd throw those strait in the trash and start over. Sorry. Luckily spores are cheap or free.

I’ve never used those little ketchup cups but the times I’ve tried No Pour using little Tupperware containers I hated it. With Petri dishes it’s so simple to just lift the lid off one handed and take a wedge without hovering your hand over top of the plate since they have short walls.

I can’t say how the bacteria got there for sure but the less smooth things go the better the chance of baddies getting in

Damn thanks guys very informative. Agar has been kicking my ass for years. Should i completely sterilize in the pc for 2 hours at 15 psi? Because i only did it for 30 minutes

How are you cooling down the pc?
SAB?
Temperature difference creates a vacuum when cooling down. Needs to be clean air. Or put a SFD on the lid of the agar bottle.
I Assume that you don’t Screw it tight...
