What to do with rediscoved WBS bags?

I have 2x ~1LB WBS mycobags that I knocked up 8 months ago on a whim with the last bit of a couple MS syringes and had long-since forgotten about them. They're really dry and have a wee bit of myc piss going on, but it doesn't look to be in response to visible contams. The spawn bags I did off the same batch went alright-- nothing to write home about.
The first one is B+ @ ~90% colonization, the second is garden-variety PE @ ~50-60%

(Not going to lie... I'm rather curious about collecting GLC from a bag. Based on my limited experience with them, I can easily imagine that being able to mash up the myc and freely reorient the water in a flexible bag would be a welcome break from dealing with the limitations of GLC jars.)

Why you would ever want to make a GLC from 8 month old mycellium is beyond my realm of thought.
You want the mycellium to be young and vigourous, not consolidating for 8 months....
Plus the second bag is filled with bacteria it looks like.

Throw those out.
They would have fruited invitro if they were healthy. They are both contaminated.

Some back story: I'm bored and its raining on my day off. Seeing as I have 0 investment in the result, figured I could be more inventive (or at least more investigative) than throwing them out-- So long as it doesn't require much in the way of resources.
Excellent point, Frank... I was thinking that too. I didn't see any contaminates (these bags are much whiter than the pics appear), either way, without any signs of fruiting it is certainly not likely to be viable. Is there anything you recognize from the pics? Another possibility is heat. These guys went through a move in the middle of a Texas summer and I'm fairly certain they were left in the car. Thermal death point was reached maybe? I may cut it open outside to see if there is anything which may indicate what went south with these.
truth on these guys not making a compelling GLC, hacker . My main interest there is to see if using a fully-sealed bag holds any functional opportunities beyond those of a jar. I'm not about to knowingly waste spores down the road, so now is the time.
(kidding about the birds btw. No animals will be harmed in the making of this intentional accident)

They are contam'd.
They certainly would have fruited if they were not.
They also look like they have a bacteria issue. That is not healthy looking.
Sorry
