it just looks so mushroom-mycelia-like - the way it sprawls outward. i guess i could make a test jar? any easy way to see if this is the real deal or not?

If Its hard to get at I just take 10cc of sterile water and shoot it down into the mass. Breaks it into a million little pieces.

the lc was pre-made by mycopath, so i couldn't add an agitator. giving the jar a good swirl actually breaks things up quite a bit. gonna use a 60cc syringe to suck it out.

do i hear some support for this looking like it should? kinda new to lc and sclerotia species.

gonna have to make a few baby food jars to know for sure, i guess. arg, the search for verm begins again...

Lawn seed... no verm... unless you plan to case. Verm could coat the casing. :smile:

my lc looks pretty similar to that. i used 8g light malt extract and 8g dextrose in 400ml distilled water (4% by weight) and i noticed after PC'ing there was lots of particulate stuff floating around. as the myc have grown they have trapped the particles, slowly cleaning the solution. i was curious about this as i hadn't read of that anywhere. as the myc has grown out i could see the new growth was white, but a quick swirl and they'd pick up all the gunk. i'll be able to test the lc in ~1 week...
ps yay only 9 more posts untill i can get to the grow logs

actually came across some verm -- in a few days the test jars should confirm my suspicion.

i am pretty sure these lc's are good.  have 4 jars with 3 different strains and they all look pretty much the same.  so, unless the exact same contaminent got into all 4 jars and is growing identically, this must be the good white stuff. :smile:

i just noticed that the little air filter on one of the jars has a tiny bit of greenish brown mold (i guess it's mold, trich?) growing on it. it is on the outer-side of the filter, nothing like this is present inside the jar.

can the filter be removed and the jar sealed with silicone or something?

gas exchange is no longer necessary - growth is sufficient. don't wanna wreck the jars cuz of dirty filters that have already done their job...

Sometimes sediments from the LC get stuck in the mycelium and look like dark specks. But if there's trich on the filter it's probably also in the solution. You should learn to make your own LC, it's real easy. The most complicated thing is probably coming up with good lids.
I use a silicon injection port and a piece of tyvek siliconed over a hole for FAE. Just make sure the solution doesn't touch the filter. Agitate daily with a gentle swirling motion.

the test jars will tell the story...

2 of the lc air filters are infected.

can i just slice the filter off with a razor blade and tape the hole up? air exchange is not necessary anymore...

I'd reuse the jars and filters if that's possible. You're probably better off sarting over. The finished LC should be refrigerated to prevent contamination.

2 of the jars are clean and look good, so there is no need to fuss with them. the other 2 need their dirty filters removed - one has already been removed and taped up. as long as the test brf jars grow as they should, all jars will be considered viable. they have been sitting at temps in the 50s once significant growth appeared.
