Can some take a look at this agar, might be a stupid question..

This may be a stupid question, but do you think I can use the good side of this agar (the part furthest way from the contamination spot/s?).  My gut tells me no, but I've read that sometimes people will cut out a couple pieces of the good mycelium to drop in grain culture jars before the contamination ruins the rest of the good mycelium.  Like I said before, this is probably a stupid question, but I thought I'd ask.  There is the obvious contamination on the farthest end (dark colored), and a few dark yellow sweat looking contamination in the middle (a bit harder to see in the photograph).  Be easy on me, this is just a question, and my gut says no, but I had to ask!  Thank you everyone.

Yes I dont see a picture indeed, but usually when there are contams on your plate its best to transfer a part of the mycelium that looks healthy and furthest away from the contams to a new plate and see if you get a plate without contamination before you expand to grain. Its possible you need to take multiple transfers to get a contam free plate. Good luck!

Darn.  I'll see if I can load these images up now.  I was wondering about that stuff, because normally I'd probably throw the plate out, but I hate to waste anyting at this stage of the game.  I'm trying to build back up after a hiatus..... Looks like I can't share a JPEG... I'll have to figure something out for you all.  I REALLY appreciate the fast response.  I'm glad I came back here.  This forum is great.

Try #3!!!  Thanks everyone!!!  You rock!!!,........I tried four ways of posting a photo.  I guess I'll have to try again.  Seemed way easier back in 2014 to post photos.

If you think you can isolate a clean piece and move it to a fresh dish, why not. But I would advise against taking anything from a Contaminated dish and going to grains.
