Morel Liquid Culture

Has anyone ever made morel liquid culture? I received a LC syringe from a sponsor and created some LME LC to expand the syringe. Used about 1 cc and within 2 days the jar is looking like this.

The mycelium is stuck to the bottom and sides of the jar. Didn't get a stir bar inside before pressure cooking
Thinking I'll test this batch on a jar of rye before inoculating spawn bags.
Is it normal for morel mycelium to stick to the jar? I'm guessing it linked onto small LME particles that settled to the bottom/sides. Going to be a huge pain to shake this jar up.

If you don't have a magnetic stirrer, do what Morel Guy said and sterilize some marbles.
*I forgot to say yes, it is typical for that to happen.

Thanks, glad to hear. Next liquid culture ill throw in a marble. I think for this one I'll have to use it all up in one go after I shake it. Getting the tyvek wet for a couple minutes shouldn't be to risky.
I'm finding a lot of mixed reviews on what ingredients to use in spawn bags for an outdoor grow. Any suggestions?

Biochar.
If it's a yellow morel use Apple wood sawdust and biochar with soil n sand.

Thanks, it's black morel. For spawn I was thinking 5:1 rye grass seed to potting soil. I might also have access to birch sawdust, if the goddamn guy from craigslist would respond.

It requires a complex substrate.
Spore slurry seems the easiest, if you have lot's of whole morels.
