Exact same situation with me 1st LC with Karo I inoculated 1 week ago and now have white puff balls with a black spec in each but the jar may have had a few specs of leftover verm in them. Would really appreciate some input!

If it's just sediment which this sounds like, you should be fine. I have black specs in almost everyone of my LC's and they are fine.
As long as it's sterilized, it won't contaminate. If you see the black start to grow, then I would be worried.

its probably a spore... you might notice the smae thing in a PF jar.
took me a min to find this pic. The spores germinated in the syringe for whatever reason and u can still clearly see the spores..

I just did an LC in a jar that I had had rgs in previously. Whilst washing it I missed a grass seed. The myc clung to it as a stronger source of nutrients (I'm guessing). I figured it was sterile and it should be ok. I knocked up two jars with that LC yesterday so we'll see. I hope it's good, I have like 4 syringes from it.

This is why I don't use sugar water liquid cultures. Every time I follow the teks to a T and never end up with LC's that look like the ones people post on here. I have spent weeks and no matter the trial or the effort my LC's come out bad. Either no growth or really slow growth and by the time I get around to using it I literally only get 10-20ccs out of each LC.
After a LOT of time and effort trying to get LC's right I have determined that I just should have gone to store and bough agar gelatin and poured agar into my smaller jars (which can be used in the absence of petri dishes). It only took one trial run with agar before getting the mixture right, and is waaaay better than LC. 1) You know if your cultures are contaminated right away. 2) You can select and use the fastest growing and most rhizomorphic mycelium of desired. It's absolutely not any harder than LC's and is a lot more rewarding. The only tool required is a glovebox or a flow hood.
