How was it stored? If you kept it in a relatively cool place, it should be fine.

spore syringes will outlast prints if stored correctly.
Store in a clean ziplock bag in the fridge, it will stay viable for years.

i cant wait to start seeing some growth, thats why i wanted to hear some responses on here. i hope all goes well, and if/when i start to see growth ill repost to let you guys know, b/c its been probabably a year a quite a few months. so it may help someone in the future with the same question. although most of you probably dont save yours for over a year i got mine basically free, i traded some uh hem...oregano for it, so i didnt think much of it when i got it, i was just intrigued by the idea.

I had some in the house for over a year... over 90 degrees here INSIDE during the summer. A bit slow to grow but grow they did!

2 weeks now, and i see no growth i still have 5 ccs left and 4 more jars, so i guess ill go ahead and inoculate the rest of them, and see if theres any luck with those. im beginning to lose hope tho sucks b/c i finally got all the gear to do this shit, and now its not working. if this doesnt work, i need to get a spore syringe, so ill need a good site to do that with i live in NC so no laws against it here.

every time i work with old syringes - failure.

If it was good to start with it should still be good now.

I was bored with SA and looking through my innocculation box for some goodies. Found a B+ syringe and used it without thinking, and everything went as usual... It wasn't until the jars were half colonized that I realized the syringe was from a grow I had done 3.5 years ago. I just used the last of it 5 days ago and I'm seeing dime sized colonies
I get the feeling spores are pretty hardy.
Also, I commonly use 1-2 year old prints with no adverse or noticeable affects.
Good luck! I hope you see something soon!

Spores are very hardy, as they are meant to last through various pressures, tempurtures, conditions and etc.

i just took off the tape maybe ill see something
but i ordered more spores anyway, so ill be doing another project soon

I heard somewhere that spores syringes, if kept in a Dry, Dark, Cool (DDC) environment, can last indefinitely!
Anyone agree or is this just flat out wrong?
Also, some girl told me that spores are the only thing on Earth that can survive in space (no gravity, no atmosphere, just a vacuum) and still grow into myclieum. I'm not sure if she's right, because she was pregnant had had no idea who the father was, so trusting her was a little sketchy.
Anyone want to correct me on that statement?
Although I've never had a spore syringe for 1 year and use it before, I recently used a 3.5 month old syringe I bought back in the beginning of January 2009, and wouldn't you know, every jar half-pint grain jar, 4 out of 4, grew bright, healthy mycelium with no containments! Horray!
Not sure what to do with it now. I think I'll do 2 jars with grain transfers, 1 jar with an 190-proof enthanol extraction, and the last I will case and fruit.
What you guys think?
Back to the question: bumtildeath, you should be fine as long as you kept the syringe in a dry, dark, cool environment as spores are intolerable to high-moisture and extreme temperature (not to cold! Do not freeze your spores! They will die!).
Good luck with the grow.
PS Is your name bumtildeath cause you like "bums" aka butts, "till you die"? Because I LOVE girls buns, even more than I love their breasts. Sure, girls buns don't have nipples on them like boobies do, but they are *almost* always big, round and totally jiggy!
