put them in the fridge, and if that wont work, if its cold outside just lay them on a windowsill. they should be viable for a few months

cool dark place , use ASAP , mant believe they will last for years , fact is the more viable spores you have the better the chances of good growth , the longer you leave them lying around the more likely they will loose viability . IMHO spores in water should be used now not later , if you want to store spores for longer periods , go with prints . Even then viability decreases with time . IMHO

The fridge is the best place!! just make sure u don't let it freeze as this might crack the syringe

well i mean i have 2 syringes coming in the mail. but only 12 jars. half pints are really really hard to obtain around here. they are considered a "seasonal" item. so i can only really use 1 syrnge. or at least only really have need for 1. i coudl always just give em all a doucle dose. but if i put one away and wait for the first batch to birth clean the jars and then use the 2nd syringe, prolly a month long period. would the syringe sitll be good.

My home made ones * aprox 2 weeks old, germinate in 48hrs.
The ones i baught over 7 months ago, germinate in about 5 days. but still work fine!!! just a bit slower...
1 month is no big deal,, your vendor probably had it as long as this or more!!!
once one of your cakes fruits, make yourself a print and you are set for life!!
