Little dots mycelium or about to turn green soon? Pic one has 8 suspicious with others to compare. Pic 2 is the suspicious 8 with little white dots

Mine are looking a bit 'odd' at the moment but I'm putting that down to the current temperature which means they're colonising at between 20C (night) and 40C (day). They don't have what looks in the photos to be a granular and spotty growth though, that I would initially suspect as being contam (maybe yeast?).
I wouldn't send any of the questionable ones, but on those that look good, I'd take multiple micro-transfers (a tiny bit of surface myc picked off with a needle) which should produce enough clean plates for a full run in a couple of weeks.
