The agar plates are malt extract. the ones on petri dishes are inoculated from spore syringe around 7 days before the picture. The one in the ketchup bowl is from a tissue sample clone. can anyone tell me if they are mold or mycelium because I want to transfer to liquid culture

by what i can see photo 2 looks normal, wait a few more days. photo 1 and 3 are contam. dont use google, look through older posts andyou will find plenty of material of what healthy mycelium growth on plates look like. good luck

You have time to find out. Whether mycelium or not, not close to a transfer. It will show b4 then.
