Is my starter ruined?

Set to brew a 1.065 IPA tomorrow. Made a 2L starter on Wednesday, which I planned to chill and decant before pitching. When I checked the stir plate last night, the foil had blown off and there was some slurry on the counter. I'm worried because the erlenmeyer sat uncovered for 1-2 hours. Ditch it?

Searched for a little bit and here's your answer.

It will be fine. Next time try a drop of Fermcap in the starter...

Thanks. Glad to hear it.
