People go out of their way to get indoor oysters grown on cakes to look like that. It might not be what you intended to grow, but you should appreciate the luck!
It may be a sign.

Probably just a mislabeled syringe.

I know one vender has been having problems lately, because I've seen a couple of other threads where the wrong thing was growing. He most likely got stiffed by the supplier or had a mix-up himself. It's not hard to do. I imagine he will straighten you out

It's his mistake, I don't see why he wouldn't replace or refund it. It couldn't hurt to try.

i mean.... did your syringe look like it had a live culture in it?
spores look like tiny black specks
and oyster syringes have live mycelium in them.

If you ordered from Ralphster...his website says all edible syringes are in liquid culture form. All Psilocybe sp. would be in spore form. Yes, spores and mycelium look different... both micro- and macroscopically.

both oyster mycelium and spores would be white, and cube spores are purplish, so you should have been able to see dark flecks.
