Carmalized LC? **PICS**

How can you tell if you have carmalized your LC? I am assuming that it would be a bad thing to do. In my LC I used water/honey. After I was done boiling there was no sign of any chuks in the water. About 3 days after innoc. I am seeing little granuales in the water that look like carmalized sugar particles. They seem to be little yeelow specs and not stringy white myc. Should I trash can tek this sucka?


I dunno if you can tell much from these photos but I hope it helps you help me. If not I can borrow a friends digi but it will be a few days.

caramelization is cooking of sugar.
the lc will be closer to brownish than clearish.
the spec's are something different I believe.

mushroom mycelium growing on a culture medium.
a liquid one.
sterilized water, sugar, nutrients, mycelium
inject 1cc of spores... make 800cc or more of LC
LC is faster working than spores as well because it is already growing mycelium. no germination of spores.
take a quart jar: fill it to the 600 or 800 mark with distilled water. pour this water into seperate pot on stove. turn on heat. add 1 level tablespoon each light dry malt and dextrose. do not boil, just heat and stir. pour solution back into quart jar through 2 coffee filters. drop in a teflon stir bar (50mmx8mm) choose which lid set up to use, I use this: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...rue#Post5484818 pc at 15 psi for 15 minutes. allow to cool slowly and inoculate. incubate for 1-2 days, stirring for 5 mins each day. after incubation, place on stir plate 24/7. 100-300 rpm or so, no vortex, just a tiny dimple. once daily make a vortex to break things up. you should be good to go in like 4 days or so.
This is what I do, others use coffee makers, fancy filters, all kinds of stuff. I guess I'm basic but it works great for me. Sorry, I don't do pictures. I don't have a camera.

a lot of time the particulate you see floating around are spore clumps.
