so on my lc its growing on the top. and now its sorta turning yellow i guess its myco piss?
its about quarter or half inch thick on top, and lots at the bottom...its hard to see and my stupid camera batterys keep junkin out or i would have taken a better picture of it.
but is it normal for this to happen? and what would happen if i took the top off and tried to fruit it lol??

What kind of LC are you using? It looks WAY too strong. Also how long has it been going for? Have you been shaking it?
I've seen that happen to LC jars that have gone too long or are too rich. Myc will do some weird things. Sometimes it wants to float, sometimes sink, sometimes stay in the middle.

this is a malt extract LC.
i think i put 2 cups of water, and therefore 2 table spoons of malt extract. maybe somewhat over level/heaping.
its been going since june 8th. so tomorrow will be 2 weeks.
i have it sittin in a tub in tub. the temp has been around 85, but with the heat outside riseing it has seen 89-90 max.
as for shaking i havn't shaked it every day no...althow i hear most do this i didn't see much reason to as it has plenty of growth at the bottom of the jar.
i have prob shaked it about 5 or 6 times. i know i could get that stuff on the top to go below with shaking but it just seems lilke it WANTS to be on top. so its like why mess with it then.
if i don't throw this in the fridge and just let it keep going would it turn into a cake? i mean it looks like the top layer keeps getting thicker and thicker.
as for darkness, its in clear tubs...so yeah it sees some light when i turn the lights on but other than that its in darkness 23 hours a day prob.
