What to do in this case..

So, I made an LC about a year ago and used it twice... worked great, left it in the fridge for a year. Inoculated 12 1/2 pint BRF jars and all 12 have pink junk and weird angular growth patterns typically associated with contam.
Thing is.. alcohol and gloves in short supply.. can't get new spores at least not from Sporeworks (they've shut down for now).
The question: When I made the LC I made it from the center flesh of a mushroom (and it worked!). *could* I smash one of these glass pings and try to get a clean sample from a fluffy white area and make a new LC from it?
Would that work? Even if the chances are low, I'd try it since I have nothing left.
Thanks everyone, looking forward to your thoughts.

It's your only option atm... Go for it! TBH Forget the LC tho! Get some agar your chances of success are much better. I'm positive if you try to do another LC, with that garbage, itll be a waste of time. With LC you cant see the contaminents until its inoculated and your growing funk. With agar you'll be able to isolate your mycilium from the contamination! After a transfer or two you'll have a great agar plate to work from... Do a little research I think it's your best route!

I been letting these fuckers go anyway.. they're fighting but every day they're looking better. You can see (ill post a pic) how they're growing in strange shapes to move around contaminants. There are a few pink blotches here or there.
Does the mycelium ever win? If i leave it long enough and it gets white and fluffy should i keep em and fruit?

The cake is too wet. I'm pretty sure most of that is just bacteria.
