Does anyone else have a problem with liquid culture media mixing ? I bought this from a mushroom supply store and it didn't have directions on it so I googled it. Followed the directions it looked clear but colored before sterilization and then after sterilization it's got chunks in it. I've done this twice now it's wasting my time.

I think you will find that you need to sterilize the solution before adding the live culture, if you bought it pre made up from a shop it will already have been steralized and is ready for use

Yeah, sterilize liquid before adding the culture, if you sterilzed the culture its dead. In terms of mixing you could have added a marble to the jar (before sterilizing)

Ye al he did is re-sterilising it i think , which did cause caramelisation of sugars
