A little yellow spot is most likely just metabolites, perfectly normal unless it's excessive.
I can't see exactly what you're talking about though, it could be a contam, or if it is an excessive amount of metabolites that can possibly mean it's fighting a contam.
You can save a contaminated agar plate though, just carefully cut a sector off of it that appears to be clean and put it on a new plate.

I can't believe what you said about wanting to see a contaminate. Believe me when I say that if you stick with this hobby at least until you have your kid, that you will have cursed the sight of those same contaminates you said you were hoping to see more than a couple times. I do however understand what you meant. When I was fruiting brf cakes 1 or 2 or even 3 contaminated jars was not a big deal and really actually helpful for the experience it gave me. But I can't say the same for when using monotubs. Don't make the same mistake as me. I didn't see many contains using brf cakes and even got through a few monos without any. This lead me to thinking that being extra extra sterile was not as big a deal as the community of the shroomery would have us all believe, and to start taking shortcuts. Then I started losing project after project to the mean green. So much time and energy and supplies wasted. Not to mention it can end up souring you on this great hobby. Sterility and patients are the best advise I could offer you. Your grow is looking awesome BTW. Going bulk your first grow takes some confidence. Looks like you were up to the task though.
