you go ahead and try and tell us if it works. i read that spores in water get destroyed (bc of high pressure or something like that), but maybe its wrong or maybe not all of them get sqeezed to a painful death

they should be fine...

consider this theory... in nature, spore survive the frost of winter and germinate just fine every year... :shrug:

good luck and post results for the 'nay-sayers' :smile2:

Chances are they will be fine but lets remember why P. Cubensis doesn't grow up north in the wild.....

Well it has been known that they CAN grow north of the freezing line, its pretty rare.  Places that experience freezing temps for most of the winter you won't find them....I should do an experiment sometime to see how long P. Cubensis spores can live in a deep freeze....

i wouldnt be surprised if the spores were fine.

but water expanding into ice probably compromised the sterility of your syringe.

^ This, I suggest doing some agar work. Than you might be able to salvage a clean culture.

Yeah, is Washington or Oregon far enough north for you? or do we have to go to Canada?

is he thinking of the environmental requirement for cubes to fruit? because they will only propagate in the correct 'hardness' zones, but that has nothing to do will the viability of spores... spores are made to survive harsher conditions than the fruit body, fact.

besides, I highly doubt that the frost will affect the spores of cubes differently than spores of any other species or genera... just my opinion though, so wait for a TC if you feel so inclined

Yes, Washington is north, but exhibits alot of features that a marine climate would so it doesn't experience the true hard winter.  Same with Oregon.....I'm talking about Minnesota and surrounding states, New England area.....Thats what I was referring to by north

Im sorry to hear about it mate, however look at the glass half full, this will give you an opportunity to gain some very good personal exp. Just go for it if they work they work  if they dont they dont.

:whathesaid:<-Morelman
I should have stayed with the usual UTFSE response instead of trying to answer it myself and get wrapped up in this pointless attempt at guidance... and it's not even with the OP (he and his spores are probably fine and laughing at this whole display of ridiculousness) :smile2:

:picard: did that guy even read the rest of what I posted about spores in nature?

"true hard winter" wtf
so, this guy's spores were frozen for two days... and that makes them worthless?

I think not...

that is not the point I was trying to make anyways... the reason they don't fruit naturally outdoor for you in Minnesota is because the myc. won't grow very well at that low a temp... and that has nothing to do with the spores being able to survive the winter...

In fact, I would bet that you have at least a month of proper climate that's 'good-enough' to fruit a pre-made colonized outdoor bed, wtf does it matter anyways...

if they fruit up north on the coasts, it is because they have a 'good-enough' fruiting environment during the spring-fall for the species to recolonize every year, even if it freezes the spores in the winter(hard winter or not)...

tell me you understand the part about spores being able to survive harsher climates than the myc. that's produced??

why am I even arguing this point?... damn you internet :seriousbusiness:

... I'll just wait for someone else to convince you if that is even the point anymore... :beatadeadhorse:

I've read many of the claims about how they can and cannot work im inoculating today as soon as it UN-thaws haha. in the words of the Great Bob Marley "time will tell." but thank you for the good luck wishes and i believe this will be a learning experience, fail or success, knowledge will be gained!:pipesmoke:

I promise if the :syringe: was good to start with it will still be good.
I have 3 Chilean cakes in a sgfc right now pinning like mad from a syringe that was frozen solid in my refer when some jack hole adjusted the temp to keep his beer colder.
I had no intention of fruiting them (I only use brf to test LC & syringes to see if they are good) but I could not bring myself to toss em in the compost either.

Try to find a place in this thread where I said the syringe would be no good....:confused: ....don't know what a hard winter is? :facepalm:

"In fact, I would bet that you have at least a month of proper climate that's 'good-enough' to fruit a pre-made colonized outdoor bed, wtf does it matter anyways..."  ----- Obviously...this has nothing to do with the subject though...

So Minnesota has a low temp in the summer?? LMAO....Minnesotas average temperature in the summer is around 82 for your info...averages 85 in the south, upper 70's in the north

Yeah your right though, pointless argument:shrug:
