LC pic - Is this healthy?

Excuse me all but, I'm worried about my LC. It has no strands but instead a few "globules" that seem to have black dots in the center. And while the dots could be spores, I don't recall there being such dots when it was first shot up.
 I know there are other threads about LC contamination but I couldn't find one with pictures that seemed to tell me one way or the other.

test it best way to tell, but dont use a whole grain jar. just take a 1/4 cup of pop corn simmer for 45 min. turn off stove. add a drop of dish soap while letting the water cool down for a second stir. then strain. after that pat dry with paper towel. toss in jar with polyfil lid knock up with lc and incubate. im guessing you should know in 3 or 4 days afterwards.
of course do everything very clean and sterile

I have some basic PF cakes I was going to shoot up with this mix, so I think I'll just use one of them to test it. I just inoculated several jars of corn with a "known good" LC.
Oh, and no I can't get a better picture. There's no section of jar at the height it likes to float at, that's clear enough to get a good picture. It's hard for a shitty photographer like me to take a clear picture of crap like that. I had to use the manual focus, cause its to indistinct for the AF to catch it. I can't blame the camera, it's a brand new canon G9 which is supposed to be decent.

That LC is bunk
I can see bacteria setting in as well as what looks like mold spores on the mycelium itself, any time I have a LC that is anything but pure white and crystal clear I toss it.
LC's are not my thing BTW, they've been nothing but problematic since day 1, at least for me. G2G is the way to go.

Hybrid, thank you, that's what I wanted to hear.
Are there some good pics of healthy LCs floating around somewhere, anyone?

heres one of mine. i know there is alot of glare but you can see the myc clearly and the rest of the liquid is clear. if the liquid starts to get hazey or cloudt or those little floaters like yours has, toss it.
