Not contamination its just mycelium doing its thing. You chase the ropey strands, thats what youre looking for. You ought to be cautious with colorful growths it means theyre sporulating(molds spores come in different colors). From your photos, nothing looks sporulating. If anything, they all look like classic cubensis traits.

definitely not axenic, there is some other stuff in some of those pics besides cube myc for sure. notice how the patches the myc is avoiding
but you have some good sections too. should work fast and make those transfers asap while you can still see the leading edge. i would transfer as little as possible from the leading edge, since there is likely other stuff growing farther back and the myc is outrunning it in some sections
either take tiny transfers or josex poke it
and keep those funky sections downwind in the hood.

thats just sectoring, it happens when different colonies of mycelium show different genetic triggers I believe. the good news is you can take a transfer from any sector and it has just as good of a chance of being a banger than anything else.
lots of people think they can tell how well myc will fruit based on how it looks on agar. This is voodoo and the way myc looks on agar is mostly dependent on nutrient availability.
