 LC too thick to aspirate and extra questions

Hi
Success growing out my first LC from spore syringe (Im learning agar in parallel) but difficult to aspirate as the mycelium clogs the large gauge needle.
Does the clear liquid contain microscopic amounts of mycelium anyway?
Can i pour the LC into another sterile jar with unmodified lid and just shake and pour?
What about a magnetic stirer?
Whats their purpose?
Do they aerate the liquid and warm it with an element?
Can the stirer go high speed and act as a blender of sorts?
Also there are black dots at the centre of the mycelial clumps, are these spores? Im a beginner and started with spore syringe.
Thank you for any help cheers!

The black is probably contamination, mss to lc is impossible to know if it's clean

There's a good chance the black is contamination. You can check the cleanliness with agar, but without checking it on agar. I wouldn't inoculate allot of jars of your not going to test it first. Stir bars are there to help LC grow quicker by breaking up the clumps of mycelium and yes, I can turn mine up and it damn near becomes a blender.
