Making kombucha & these were made!

I usually make kombucha with a scoby. My brother insisted that you can make a scoby with tea, sugar, and a bit of a store bought kombucha juice…..

So then all of these were “made.” They don’t look like scoby that I’m accustomed to, squishy and goopy. They’re thick like hard gelatin. Are they really scoby or something else? All 3 of them?

I just took them out of the tea briefly, and had to throw out the tea because it was attracting fruit flies because of the vinegar smell. It had a paper towel to “protect” it but I didn’t trust the juice with all the bugs above it. Would you? Just feels 😬 to me.
