It looks colonized to me, but I’m a noob (my first boxes failed)

It looks like you should start fruiting it. Can someone with more  experience chime in?

That'll be fine, they really like lots of air just make sure the surface doesn't get too dry.

Do you want to take a pic of the substrate itself? Doesn't look right from the first pic, maybe I'm wrong a pic would tell

Doesn't look so great, maybe bacterial I've had tubs look similar but not to this extent.
Give em lots of air just watch surface conditions, how long has this tub been colonising?

To your first question, I don't think having it like this will give it too much air. But it seems fairly unstable and maybe not the best longterm solution?

Second to the question of contaminants, it looks like bacterial (where it is patchy), overall the mycelium looks fuzzy too, me but those pictures are not the best.

How does the mycelium smell?

Hard to explain the smell but.. Kind of reminds me of if I had a handful of mushrooms and smelled them

3 weeks is slow but not too bad

If you really want get well lit focused upclose pics of the surface.
Bacteria usually produces yellow to orange colour liquids on the surface which should be visible.
