Is that yellow part liquid? If so, it's not okay.
How'd you inoculate it?

How'd you make the liquid culture? Can you smell anything through the filter? Maybe a sour smell, or fermented?

Something doesn't seem right, my jars and bags never even had a tinge of yellow to them. Always a pure white even after shaking. As the other poster said whats it smell like, and report back to us.

Well, stone producer mycelium does turn a tan/yellow color when it's forming stones.

However, I've never encountered anything jelly-like, or even excessive moisture that had a yellow tint to it in my grains. It doesn't look good, sorry.
The bag could've been bad.The LC could've been bad.

Yeah, there definitely appears to be a problem there. The tan coloration is normal and excess moisture is fairly normal but the yellow gel is nothing I have seen in my sclerotia jars. I would say scrap it and try again. I would use small jars to eliminate the variables and see if your lc is the issue. Sucks, man.

Do you have a pressure cooker, or do you work with agar? You can test an LC on agar to make sure it's clean.

True but no stones even remotely assembled within that jello looking yellow shit.

It doesnt smell bad, I checked the yellow thing and its liquid not jelly, maybe excess heat? where I live it sometimes reaches 100 fahrenheit during the day, I changed the bag to a coolest place near the floor and opened a window, thx, I will keep posting details.

Uhm, yeah I'm with Pasty... That looks sick. The jar picture shared above is what my stones looked like too. That is totally normal, but the bag isn't.

I've seen similar with both of my mexicana jars.. a rather strange coincidence one was chicon nindo culture, the other a clone culture one was spores-agar-inoculation the other clone-inoc
both formed this jelly stuff in the jars.. never had this with atlantis though

What happened to the jars that formed the yellow stuff? did they produce truffles? mines are Mexicana too.

Guys I wanted to show you another bag I inoculated with the same LC, the difference is that this is in a fresh place, around 77 Fahreinheit, I purchased this substrate from another vendor and it is not waterlogged like the firstone.
Thisone looks good to me, what do you think?
