Shit! Are my LC's contaminated......
    #14735610 - 07/08/11 10:36 AM (13 years, 6 months ago)

Its been about 2 and  1/2 weeks and there seems to be some stuff in my lc.  In one of them there are 2 red dots.  In the others some black dots and  I think some other dark wispy schmeg.  Am I crazy or  what?

I made some really nice cobweb jars with a LC that had lots of tiny black dots in them, but guess a test jar is the only way to know

I made them with an MS syringe using corn syrup.  But the corn syrup (Karo) was flavored with vanilla and had a little salt in it too.

Karos fine man, I've used it with no problems. Are the black dots completely new or where they in the syringe beforehand? I've had a few lcs contam so just trying to compare

Karo is ok, honey is better.

But LC from spores is a gamble every time. When it pays off it's great.
When it doesn't, get agar. $1.69 well spent.

The black spots have me less worried then the 2 tiny red dots floating amongst my cloud in the PE jar.  The black spots were in the syringe I imagine.  The black wispy appearance is new, like in the last day or so, same with the red dots.

Toss, start agar dishes.
PF jars work great to get started.

LC's are best assumed contaminated, UNTIL, test substrates have been inoculated and have had 5 days of growth with NO contamination.

Best to forget LC's all together and learn agar, (as suggested above) inoculating sterilized grain mediums with clean agar culture. 

Heck, it's FAR superior to inoculate sterile grain mediums with known MS syringes from a reputable vendor, expanding healthy grain spawn jars with a process called grain to grain transfers over LC's.

Yeah, black wisps definately not good. I'd just start all over.

Agars fine if you can get it, but if your ass is unlucky, an LC will work fine. I use both honey and karo, but karo is definately nicer for spotting contams.

You can get agar, that's not the issue.
People think it's expensive, or difficult to work with, or too advanced.
It's none of those.

Did you ask? Go to a local non-chain health store, and ask for agar.
