Is this white spot bacteria? I'm very new to this, and I made agar from scratch. I used a steralized swab to inoculate on the agar. I saw on the bottom that there's white spots.

I can't tell from the pic what it is. But it is on the bottom, so don't worry about it. The mycelium growing on the top from your swab will be grown out and transfered before it is an issue.

Yeah, there's one spec of white at the bottom. Sorry for the crappy picture. If needed I can get a close up of it.

Just to clarify, it won't cause any issues since it's on the bottom? Also, does condensation affect growth?

What veggie said. Itβs all good. Let it ride. 99.9999% of the time, when a Trusted Cultivator gives advice itβs golden.
Condensation on the lid is fine really. I mean, itβs not ideal visually and because it causes the spores to slosh around a little keeps it from growing uniformly sometimes. But there is no real functional issue with some condensation.

Veggie's "only" an "OG cultivator" but in my mind that's even better.
Also, is that a recent tag? I don't remember it.

Yes that is true. I am NOT a TC. I an an OG. It is a new tag and what that actually means is still being worked out. Basically it just means that I have been cultivating for a long time and I am old. Haha!

Veggie is definitely legit and indeed a trusted individual IMO!

As far as the OG Tags this is something new that is kinda still in Beta release, but long story short it's for those that have been around the mush community for many years and have definitely earned the respect from the Shroomery!

Take a new in focus pic from the top in a few days and post it. Bottom of the plate that looks too small to be more than a couple days old is not going to help us diagnose what is happening on the agar.
