LC clone myc not breaking up

I made a clone LC, honey water, and neglected to put any kind of material in the jar to break up the myc. It is growing into a blob and when I swirl it around it doesn't really wanna break up. A couple little tiny pieces have broken off but now they are turning into their own little blobs. I kinda thought before doing this that when it was swirled around the myc would break up into little threads. I don't see these chunks of myc being sucked up into a syringe. Should I expect there to be pieces of myc floating around that are too small to really see? Or does this sound like a failure?

Im curious. I just made 3 of these and didnt include anything to break up the mycelium either. Mine havent colonized enough yet to have anything to break up. Would a super vigorous shake harm the culture?

you guys will be fine. thats how io make my LC's now. i dont put anything in the jar, no marble, or glass, or anything. my myc grows in a big glob too. i just make sure to swirl the jars 1-2 times a day and when it comes time to suck some out, i steralize my needle, suck some sterile honey water/myc up and squirt that back into the jar, most of the time the stream of water from the syringe will break pieces of myc off and then can eaisly be sucked into the syringe

Thanks for that +rep, I just tried it and it worked pretty well. This is my first LC clone that actually seemed to work, without any obvious contams. It took me several times shooting out solution onto the myc ball to break it up enough. I could only see tiny threads in the syringe after sucking it up. They were such tiny pieces of myc, I just shot the entire syringe into each quart jar of rye. They are only 3cc syringes so I hope it doesn't throw the water content off in my rye jars. On each jar I shot the entire 3ccs down one side of the jar so that I could see when the growth started. Do you think I should give the jars a shake? Or will that potentially cause the first growth to show up in the middle where I cannot see it. Thanks a lot!
