Spore Print Folded- Probably Contamed?

I have had a spore print folded in half sitting in a drawer for about 6 months now. It has not been covered in anything like a plastic baggy, just out in the open. I assume it is 100% contamed but would like to hear it from people that are more knowledgable than me. If I made an LC would it most definately be contamed and is there anything I can do to still use the spores? Thanks in advance.

Use the spores for agar. it isnt in ideal storing conditions but it might just be a a tad dirty. Although i do not have much hope for it due to you lack of skills when it comes to working with prints.

If it is a tad dirty, which it most definitely is, does that mean it is useless to use for an LC?

absolutely!! But is the section that is a tad dirty going into the lc?? I would never use a spore print for a lc or a spore syringe.
You could try it though. If it turns hazey/cloudy in a few days than its dirty. How do you plan on introducing these spores to the lc? You would need a glove box and to would want to remove the lid to do so.

Yeah, old spore prints are best utilized on agar. Agar is fun. I promise.

If you can't be bothered with agar make a few grain jars and inoculate them with the spores.
If any of them survive do a grain to grain transfer or pop some myc into a LC.
