Hello :smirk:

Does either of these jars look contaminated to you??

Exhibit A: Lion's mane



The liquid looks clear, the mycelium looks more clumpy and easily breaks up when shaken

Exhibit B: Cubes



The liquid looks a little cloudy, the mycelium is not clumpy and looks like yellow dust. The original mycelium looked like black dots from the syringe that I used but now there are very few black dots.

They have both been in my closet since 2 weeks ago and I used distilled water + honey for the liquid.

Spores to lc is typicly a crap shoot , test it on some agar or 1 jar first before you go ham with it

Honey always clouds up for me. Corn syrup better IMO. Spores to LC = risky

It's probably fked up, bro. You need to test it on agar. The cube one certainly looks bad and turbid.

I have yet to have an LC that is not bacteria contaminated, that's what forced me into agar work. On a side note, my oyster mushroom Lc is definitely contaminated, as I have tested it on agar, but the oysters eat the contaminating bacteria when I put it to grains. Also Lion's Mane and Oyster and wine cap LC's all look different so it's impossible in my opinion to tell if an LC is contaminated without agar to test it on.
