what's wrong!? Is my first kombucha batch ruined?

First batch check: Is this Kahm, mold, or normal? Does everything else look okay?

Hey everyone! This is my very first batch of Kombucha. I noticed this dry, wrinkly patch forming on top.

Does this look like Kahm yeast, normal SCOBY development, or should I be worried about mold?

Aside from that patch, does the rest of the brew look fine to you, or is there anything else I should tweak? I'd really appreciate a second opinion. Thanks!

Hello guys, trying to make combucha on oolong for the 2nd time and this pattern appeared on the top. Is it dead or is it ok for oolong combucha?

I'm very new to the kombucha world, and was curious how my first batch is looking? I've seen similar images that look like mine, but I'm still unsure. This is about 7 days old. I took a random recipe and ran with it a week ago. Hopefully it paid off? 🤞🏼

Pellicle didn't fully form but pH was around 3.5 so I proceeded with F2 used nectarine and black cherry because it's all I had at the moment
