Okay, i had only one successful lc so far and since that one i have gone through 7 more that have failed.. well, there were two lc's that i never through out one of them actually did start to make mycelium except i thought it wasnt gonna so i just left it alone and it started on the bottom of the jar...
so recently i tried sugar in the raw on two different lc's well they both came out great... one of them will be ready this week and the other is slow so i will keep that in the fridge for a while...
anyways tonight i was sitting here and decided to look at the lc that has been sitting here for i do not know maybe 2 months or so. i wanted to see what dead mycelium looks like or contaminated to compare to my new lc's...
i look at it and it is freaking growing crazy... not sure if its mycelum but i am not sure what else it could be? there was a nice piece that started on the bottom and when i go to it, i thought it was to late plus it took like 4 weeks to start so i thought over due... well, from then to now i can see the old piece but i see new growth like stars there is so many of them.. but unless that is the mycelium breaking off cause its dead?? or is it contamination?

It's defiantly not mycelium buddy, If left at room temp the particles you are seeing are bacteria, this confused me as well years and years ago when I left a jar sitting at room temp for a month.
You have to remember mycelium can not survive under water for more then a week since the water will become stagnant from oxygen escaping it. You need to give it 60cc's of sterile air every 7 to 10 days to keep it alive and by that time it's usually done and in the refrigerator which causes the mycelium to go dormant and keep oxygen in...
So, don't bother inoculating anything with that heh...

You might want to consider giving it 10-20cc's of sterile air.
Careful of this since it does leave room to inject contamination, use a clean burning flame if possible but I've had luck with just a bic lighter. Mind you, LC's are defiantly not my thing, I'm a G2G guy
hope it works out for you, LC's should be 100% done by day 10-12 anyways, if not, chuck and try again.
