    how are liquid culters suposse to look like? I did mine with honey then boiled it and nothing grew in it for 3 days and now is full of white stringy stuff, I made more with plastic bottles 1 i put spors in 2 i didn't and the 2 i didn't are making stringy white things too on the 2nd day. Could the first culture be contaminated? How is mycelium grow suppose to look ike in a liquid culture?

    It could be contaminated, but it could be healthy mycelium. It is difficult to tell with liquid cultures, and the only way you're going to know for sure is by testing them out. If you only boiled them inside of plastic bottles, then your chances of contamination are increased, I imagine, though pressure cooking is not entirely necessary.
