What to do?

made up some popcorn jars, inoculated some agar with it and found out that there is a bacteria growing along with the mycelium. what shall i do with this jar. should i toss it or would it be safe to spawn a mini tub. any help is appreciated.
Agar is going okay. having a very hard time isolating away from the bacteria, which is a milky yellow/white color. im getting closer i think but im not sure lol. needless to say i started spores on agar and i am looking to do my first transfers on that today sometime. ive got probably 6 or 7 petris on the go right now. i know they say to have patients but im running low on it

if you inoculate a spawn jar with bacterial mycelium then its gonna be 100% contaminated.
its best you start new spawns with clean agar.

Not to be rude, but did you read my post? What you told me is known....I don't know why you said that .
I'm asking what I should do my bacteria contaminated jar of spawn that I have. That's still growing mycelium that looks healthy.
FYI if you read my first post you'll see what I wrote about agar.

toss it out with some cow manure and make an outdoor patch.
2-3 weeks and youll have some fruit.

Is there enough time. I live in Canada. Before long it'll be cold out.
Is it safe to spawn to mini tub in an isolated area? Thanks for the input.

Give it a shot. It's just bacteria. Toss at the first sign of mold. You can also top fruit out of the jar with a casing

the one where you use ziploc bags instead of tubs.

no tek just do it
Ziploc bags over jars, or if you have enough jars, throw em in an empty monotub tub. If you have like 1/4-1/2 of the tub filled, you'll have enough surface area to produce decent humidity for you not to need to mist all the time(which is what you'd have to do if you opted for open air)
