How long will spores keep in a syringe?
    #10577125 - 06/26/09 02:35 PM (15 years, 6 months ago)



- - EDIT - - Question answered! Thanks, everyone. - - EDIT - -


Guy I Know lives in CA and can't have spores shipped directly to him, so he wants to order & ship them to a friend in another state, then have said friend bring them back to him.
GIK's friend is out of state now, but GIK won't have the space to cultivate until September -- if he goes ahead and orders the spores, will they keep until then?
Do they keep better with refrigeration? Worse?

They will be fine until September if kept in the fridge. Though, I would recommend cleaning any spore solution that has leaked out into the needle guard during shipping before storing them.

They will be fine. You can put it in the fridge if you want. I do for storing cultures for long amounts of time. I'm using a PES hawaiian spore syringe from over a year ago and its been doing great.

From what I understand, under optimal conditions a syringe can be kept up to a couple years.  I haven't tested it though, mine never get stored for that long :wink:

Gah!
Son of a faggot, the site Guy I Know found won't even let you order with a CA credit card, regardless of where it's being shipped ...

Guess he'll need a workaround ...

FYI for those that don't really know spore syringes can keep for many years in the fridge. I've personally grown out strains 6 and 8 years in cold storage. Although not as viable as fresher spores they are still plenty with absolutely no signs of degeneration what so ever. Distilled water works better than mineral oils for long term storage FACT!
Another fact if spring or mineral water is used you can indeed have premature germination of the spores rather quickly not a bad thing if your doing LC but not viable for long term storage. :wink:

:yesnod:

Heck, I've got a liquid culture over a year and a half old that I forgot about that's been kept at room temperature in a cupboard. It just recently tested viable. It fully colonized 5 of 5 grain jars.

Fungus is more resilient than many people realize.

I find that very interesting I'm wondering how the myc was able to survive after it used up all the food so long ago? And it hasn't died yet? All I can say is WOW!

Believe it or not, it's in my camper's kitchen cupboard. You can imagine the temperature variations that jar's went through over the last cold winter and these hot summer days. If you've ever stayed in an older camper, you know there's more insulation on a german shepherd. :wink:

And you're right, the myc used up all of the food source long ago. The water has been completely clear for over a year. I almost believe the mycelium has entered a suspended state, almost dormancy, but it took off within a week of hitting a fresh grain jar. I suppose I just got lucky. :shrug:

Revived it eh? Where were you where Micheal Jackson passed? :wink: That shit seems to always amaze me much tougher than we give it credit for for sure!

Why would I lie about something silly like that. This is the internet and I don't care in the least if you believe it or not.

What, are you saying it's impossible for a liquid culture to last a year and a half? I'll post some pictures for you around the middle of the week. Well, not so much for you, but those who might be interested that know the least little bit about this hobby.

Know it all noobs, you just gotta laugh. :rolleyes: :wow:

Personally I don't doubt you and I'm glad you shared ... but you realize posting pictures won't prove anything to this guy, right?
