reusing contamed bags...

Alright. I searched and couldn't find the answer. Perhaps you can help...
Recently, a friend gave me some bags to inoculate and shortly thereafter each bag was contamed. I'm sure it wasn't me, I used a glove box, Lysol, flamed the needles between inoculations, etc. Now, since I recently acquired a PC, can I PC the bags and reinoculate?
Thanks!

best not too, the contams may have created myco-toxins that might be absorbed by the new mycellia then passed to the shrooms.

Mycelium does NOT absorb myco-toxins from other species such as molds and transmit them to the fruits! This is very well known in mycology. Every wild mushroom grows in conjunction with hundreds of other fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, yet who has ever been poisoned by wild morels, chanterelles, cubensis, etc??
However, it's best not to use them because the contaminant molds have already eaten some of the substrate that you want your mushroom mycelium to eat. RR
