Growth on surface of LC
    #7738909 - 12/10/07 12:26 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

So I made a LC the other day. It looked like it was doing fine, a nice amount of growth. When I let it chill out for a couple days without shaking I notice all the myc settles towards the bottom (but still suspended in the LC) I also have a couple patches of growth at the surface of the liquid that are partially underneath and partially poking up above the liquid. Would it be safe to assume that this growth is probably mold considering that everything else hangs towards the bottom but those guys chill on top? The growths are white.

Give it a shake. If it sinks when everything else sinks your are all good.

I hope you have a stirrer or something to break up the mycelium otherwise you wont be able to get it into the syringe.

Yeah I have a stirer but it makes a racket so I normally just shake the shit out of it. Also I am using 16 guage needles, I could suck a cat into those things :p

Yeah they sink down but they are alot whiter than the myc in the bottom. It looks like there is a flat solid white spot maybe 5-8mm across then some white stuff growing out in a poof. If that description makes any sense. So in other words it looks exactly like mold growing on the surface of a liquid... only it is white instead of green.

So yeah it is definately a contamination. I put it on the stir plate over night last night and there is brown gunk on the edge of where the water went up from the vortex.
