That is a really terrible picture. From what I can see it doesn't look fully colonized.
Is this in open air? A bag? Need more info.

Its a tub. Full colonization isnt required for fruiting.
OP it could take a long time to fruit. Pasty once said he had a tub of PE go like 2-3 months.

Well if ya gotta start over again, start right and do agar my friend.
Lol if one jar had a yellow spot in it, I can almost guarantee that lots of your jars had bacteria in them.

Looks like a big blotch of green shit to me. If you get yellow shit in your jar it's probably due to bacteria which makes the mycilium weak enough to be taken by trich once spawned.

I wouldn't. Imo if a jar is producing a noticable amount of yellow metabolites then if it's not contaminated it's very old and has been sitting for awhile.

If you are desperate you can straight case them and get a flush or 2. You have to remember people who are into agar have 100s of jars on the go all the time. If you have 2 and the have slight yellowing and need some mushies, st8 case is the only chance you have.

PE does take a while longer, but if it's not clean, it's no bueno regardless.
I throw anything funky just to preserve the grow area itself, if nothing else.

Preserving the grow area from what? Most grow areas are as dirty as fuk unless they have been bleached and had an hepa filter running for a day.
My point is only this. If you are a noob and you only have 2 jars its worth straight casing as firstly you get to know what contaminants look like if they appear and secondly you may get some mushrooms in a week instead of a month.
Most Mold Ive encountered doesnt produce spores till it goes green and so if the white we all hate shows up, sling it.
However, if you have lots of jars or or a stash of mushies then go toss them out.
