Can you tell if this is mold or tormentose mycelium?

I think that if squint real hard I see that the cloudy part reaches the same cycle border as the healthy myc. Also it seems that it gets less cloudier and more filamentose (if that's even a word). Besides a healthy but seems to have grown out of the cloudy part

I have another plate that looks similar. Thanks in advance.

i would not send that. take a transfer from the most uniform leading edge, which is clear.
filamentous.

I'll make a second transfer (this was a transfer from a very clean clone). That will set me back a couple of weeks, so I think I'll try my luck with a little jar too. I mean, it's not 100% confirmed that it is mold, right?

You wouldn't say this one looks any better, would you?

It's a transfer from the same clone

If you must make a jar, do it with a little wedge from six o clock on that plate would be my move.

Have you tried josex poke method, the agar color is messing with me. Makes it like bacteria there but can't tell.

Looks like your clone wasn't as clean as you thought. It appears to have cobweb mold to me.
Take a wedge from 6 o'clock like suggested

It's just got a mono hitching along.
Transfer a piece of the fluff and see if it goes rhizo. Either a mono or it's a culture that is submissive to the other culture. The one thinks the other is more important so it is taking the back seat voluntarily. If it goes rhizo it'll fruit. If not it's probably a mono hitching.
Waiting in a fruit is exactly where I'd be if I was looking to score. Best chances of contact with new spores.

You're most likely right, but why didn't I get the contamination in the clone? Healthy mycelium covered the whole plate

That's a great idea, thank you. What is mono, btw? Search ain't helping, is it a mold too?

Mono as in monoculture. 1 culture genetically the same throughout. Most companies start with culture work for many transfers before getting it isolated to something they like, then transfer to deep slants, and culture tubes, and the rest to master lc, that them lead to secondary lc mass production, then selling the avg joe the secondly lc in syringes that cost them a few cents in material and 1 min of work making the syringe . Lots of money, and I believe I remember you got your culture form a kit right?

Mono as in "monokaryon". Not monoculture whatever that is....
What are these "companies" you are referring to? Nobody was talking about companies or what they do and frankly companies have about the lowest standards in the myco world and whatever they are doing (which nobody outside the company really knows) should not be used as any standard. Very little of what you said here makes any real sense. WTF is "secondary LC"? Nobody does that...
OP your plate does not have mold or any other contamination. You have an axenic cubensis culture albeit genetically diverse still.

I second nichrome.
With mold you would've most likely already seen damage and those typical "separating" lines, I forgot how we call them, but basically when you have incompatible mycelium crossing together, they tend to make that defensive thick myc wall and it's usually very visual with mold Besides, transfering a few times would've resulted in a plate covered in black spores or sum'in at that point

Done&done! Let's see what grows from that.
So, if I'm my reading comprehension hasn't failed me yet another time, a monokaryot mycelium is one germinated from a spore that hasn't mated and it's waiting for the opportunity to doing so (a mINCELium, get it?).
If that's the case, in the transfer I should expect the same type of nob filamentous growth, right?

I transfered the mold looking part and got this:

Looks pretty healthy right? Or is the inner part weird?

Looks good, i would do another transfer from the edge (8 o'clock)of the rhizo growth and you should be fine by then
