Question RE: L.C. producing fruit bodies (Pictures Included)

TL;DR: I have a psi. tampanensis LC that sat on my shelf for a couple months and has recently been producing mushrooms - does this mean the LC is viable, not contaminated, and thus OK to use to inoculate grain jars, WBS, BRF, etc.?
Hello comrades and fellow mycologists 
I just have a quick question regarding live cultures that produce mushrooms while sitting in the jar, before being used to inoculate anything...
If an L.C. produces fruit bodies (like the one pictured at the bottom of this post), would that indicate that the L.C. is, in fact:
(1) NOT contaminated; and
(2) therefor an acceptable inoculant to use on some ready-to-go jars of rye berries?
I would imagine so based on the fact that the LC has the ability to produce fruits, albeit within the LC and not in a grain jar or something similar. I also don't think the LC environment is missing anything that's required for molds/fungi/bacteria to thrive seeing as how LC's can become contaminated and can also grow mushrooms which need very similar components for growth... but really fuckin far from reaching TC status or becoming an "OG" in the way of mycology so I humbly ask for those of you who come across this post and have a decent amount of research, time, and/or experience under their belts (especially in the way of live cultures) to please take a moment to weigh in and provide your expertise.
For the record:
This L.C. pictured below is of psilocybe tampanensis (if you couldn't already tell from the fruits growing inside the jar )

It's certainly viable. If it were contaminated, you'd see or smell it, in my experience.

Thanks dude! It's moments like this (among many others) that remind me why mycology is so interesting and entertaining.
