Shroom on Agar Means it's Clean?

I'm about to inoculate some grain with agar and see that the jar with the agar has grown a tiny shroom....does this mean that the agar is clean enough to use?

It could mean its all fucked and the mycelium is making an effort to preserve itself in spores. With no pics or information nobody can even begin to say.

You can probably use the agar culture, but you should definitely clone the shroom. It's proof that its strain fruits, even in sub-optimal conditions, so perfect to try in one of your next grows: you'll have a culture ready before you harvest anything you start from the agar.

I've definitely dropped plates with pins into jars. You'll grow mushrooms
Imo, if a plate was pinning from stress/contamination it would be super obvious.

why not grab the agar pin and just drop that into a jar... better yet drop the agar pin into some lc

Why would this be a better option than straight agar?
Wouldn't the pin start to rot and fuck the whole jar?
The shroom was so small that wouldn't using it to inoculate produce flushes of tiny shrooms?
(I'm confident that you're right but just want an answer to these questions)

any piece of the mushroom can and will revert back to myc given proper treatment. you caan see it when stumps/aborts/transfers fuzz up
so if you put any piece of mushroom, in a pins case the whole thing, onto any form of media it fuzzes up just like a transfer would and becomes myc.
if you do that with a fruit off a tub youll be in moldtown real fast but agar pins are sterile.

ahh ok...but how would this differ from a clone..like if you were to inoculate by cloning with a tiny shroom the resulting shrooms from the grow would be similar (and small) like the clone.

The pin *may* be better than your agar culture because it's just one strain (or maybe a few--depending on whom you ask). A strain that's proven itself--it fruited in a jar without good FAE and other beneficial factors. Jar shroom smol -- tub shroom maybe big?

yea thats what I was thinking.....the environment in a tub would make them grow bigger, just want to be 100% before I get to fruiting and witness smurf shrooms making me regret not just using the agar.
