can one damage an agar wedge beyond repair?

Ok.....so I had inoculated a grain jar with a healthy wedge. It was on te thinner side as i had poured my plate too thin i gather. Dropped it in and it stuck to the glass just above the grain. So i gave it a little shake to knock it off into the grain. It wouldn't budge. Was just stuck on the glass like like a suction cup. So I gave it a good couple bangs on back of shoe sole till it broke loose. But by time it did you couldn't really see the definition of the rhyzomorph or much mycelium in general. I mean, the myc should still be viable, right? Maybe just take a Lil longer to recover? No chance I killed it? I feel this is a silly question but it was such a pretty wedge and now can't make out any myc. It just kind of pulverized.

Big Gulps! Alright! Well, See ya later! And if i claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that i dont know!

When I inoculate grain jars with agar - I drop the wedge in with the intent to pulverize it. I want as much of that wedge to touch as much grain in the jar as possible.
When you do that, your left with a ridiculous amount of inoculation points in the jar.
Most of the time I don't even have to shake again.

Does the plate ever get too colonized to use? The last jars I did, the plates where very much consumed and the yellow color the food coloring turns to after the myc digests it I guess. You know what I'm saying? The agar hadn't pinned, but seemingly was "consolidating"

Ive had agar stick to the glass like that. I just lay the jar on its side so the wedge is covered. The myc will grow through the agar. I shake the jar so hard you cant even tell the agar had myc on it to begin with

In my opinion, if the plate was clean from the get go- there should be no harm.
I have used some really full plates before-Burning mycelium near the edge because there is no other place to cool my scalpel... lol It worked out just fine and the jars were aye-okay!
