LC - Is This Myc or Mold?

The pictures don't really do a good job of showing it. Basically theres a big white cloud. Inside of the cloud there are smal white particles. Some of those particles look like a dried up dandelion, whit white fuzz around them, you know that white fuzzy stuff kids blow into the air?



Is it myc or mold?

Theres no way to tell until you test it on some substrate. That is the disadvantage of LC. It may well be healthy mycelium, it could be mould mycelium. Both are white, but mould wont sporolate in liquid culture. So theres no way to tell.
It looks like mycelium. But the question is which is it, mould or mushroom.
Time will tell.
the best way to produce mycelium water, is use fully colinised grain jars, inject sterile water into it, shake and suck it back up.

It's hard to tell by the pics.. But in that second pic are those spots floating in the liquid or stuck to the side of the mason? Because if attached to the jar walls, I would say it was a mold.

Nah, nothing stuck to the side of the jar....and yes everything is white...I just wasn;t sure since this is the first LC I've ever seen up close. It was injected with 2cc of multispore about a week ago.
The concern is this, if its mold, is it dangerous to have it around colonizing grain jars? You say mold won;t sporulate in water, does that mean it won't spread to other jars? Also, is this LC jar supposed to be shaken every day? If so, how much and for how long?

Even with a microscope it would be impossible to tell you if its contaminated.. LC's are a crap shoot.. its like russian roulette you put in this much work, I would say get agar and quit goofing with an LC until you have a KNOWN clean culture.

this will make a good testing ground for contaminants. It's usually quite difficult to tell if an LC has contaminants until it is tested. what was your inoculation procedures?
