Trich in jar - Throw away jar?

Hi Guys,
I recently inoculated some rye berries with yellow Reishi. After a few days, I can see there is trich inside the jar.
The jar is a 1 quart glass mason jar. I have a synthetic filter disc between the jar "thread" piece and the jar "lid" piece. The lid piece has a few small holes in to allow gas exchange.
My question is, should I just throw the whole jar away (seeing as I have loads) or is it relatively safe to re-use if I clean it outside of the house?
If so, how should I clean it? I have all the usual kit, pressure cooker, alcohol etc. Im just afraid I will infect everything if I try and re-use that jar...
Thanks!

No I wouldn’t throw out your jar buddy. Maybe take it outside and empty it out and rinse most of the remains out then if you really want to take some precaution spray it down with some cleaner or alcohol and wash in the sink with hot water right away. Should be fine as long as your not cracking it open in the house and waving it around lol

Spores don't penetrate or embed in the glass or anything. Just clean it thoroughly with hot soapy water. It will be cleaner than the next batch of grain going into it.

No not the whole jar!
Frankly opening inside the house is fine, but if you’re paranoid, outside is fine too. I generally open them up, pour dilute bleach down the side of the jar glass. Close it up with a normal lid, then shake. Once any trich/mold spores have been knocked around in a slurry or wetted, I dump the contents into a bag. Then clean the jar. The jar is getting rePCed eventually anyway so it’s not like anything will survive through that on glass.
