Did my LC sporulate or contaminate?

I started some cultures a couple months ago. One of them has a few clumps of black stuff floating on top of the water now that is connected to a culture that has grown throughout most of the jar. Does it look like a healthy culture that has somehow produced spores?


My other cultures have much less growth, about 1/5th of the jar and have been that way for over a month. I thought it would colonize more but I guess I should break it up now and test if any of them are good?

The first one is nasty. The second one looks better, test it and find out.

Dude, that's mold, and the mold mycelium is what's in your LC.
 What was your procedure for making the LC?

I'm not trying to be demeaning but I saw that LC and knew it was bad so I don't want you to waist your time. Have you ever worked with grain and do you have a well build SAB?

Just FYI only the gills of the mushroom make spores in cubensis. Spores don't form in the LC there's no mushroom in the LC.

lol, yea but I've seen mycelium do crazier things. I disagree with spaceman, I think some of the cultures are clean. The jars have self healing ports and syringe filters, and of course I inoculated them in a SAB. No need to jump to conclusions...
Oh and the marbles work fine I put three in and swirl the jar vigorously, seems to break it up well enough.

I bet they are too, but I've had LC's like look like the 2nd jar that were good. If it's all you have I would try it out dude. No reason not to really.

You said ship, which means you probably used a spore syringe, which probably means they're bad, which probably means you need to throw them away.

from being a complete LC fuckup(many many failures) I can tell you they're both screwed I guess the second one could be okay but that amount of growth in a month isn't right here are 2 clean LC's I have right now they have been tested and proved themselves viable look at how thick mine are after 12 days
