Im back to the shroomery and still have old prints from 03

I was a member in 03 and recently decided to get back in this hobby and joined again. I have a lot of prints from around 03 and 04. I remember I got a print from a sponcer here that's still a sponcer and it was pe. But the fruits were huge and I think I remembered there was a big mix up with the prints back then or something.I'm gonna try a lc with a print and see where it goes from there. I have a few prints too ,so if anyone with a lot of experience would like one let me know.I don't know if anyone would remember me my screen name was 8:::::D. Anyway if anyone has any suggestions on these old prints let me know or if I should just toss them.

Welcome back.
With spores that old you'll have more luck if you can use agar.
straight to LC might be a waste of time if they all contaminate.

Ya I gotta agree with that, agar will save you time and stress. If you go ahead and use the lc check it on a pf cake or 2.

I feel dubious whenever I see the words 'PE' and 'print' together.
Proper PE doesn't really print. Sometimes, you can get a 'degenerated' PE that's lost the distinctive mutation, and is really just a normal cube AFAIK. Those will print. I was given a "PE print" once upon a time, from an experienced member, but that's exactly what it did - I never got a 'PE' fruit from those spores.

Thanks for the links but yeah i read rr's notes and stuff before I re joined this board.I didn't know if I could even get 9 y/o spores to germinate ,I really just wanted to see if anyone's had any luck with spores that old.yeah i read about the 20 y/o spores and such but I don't wanna go that far with it nor am I that experienced.especially since these spores aren't anything special, but if anyone wants to try it for fun I'll gladly send anyone a print.

Just get a new print. Dumping spores, to make an LC will more than likely end in a contaminated LC. Get a vendor syringe from somewhere like Spore Works and make an LC. I have never had a problem with them going straight to LC.

all things considered, I'd rather work with prints. In this case, I agree--the op is likely to spend near as much in failed culture reagents as the syringe would cost, not even counting the time wasted.
if you're really hell-bent, apparently some folks have had success with older spored by "pressure-soaking" them, making a spore syringe with a luer-lock tip and then holding the syringe for 1-2 weeks with a rubber band around it the long way (tip to plunger) to squeeze it to several times normal atmospheric pressure and "force" the spores to hydrate.
I'd still use agar though...it's a great friend when you initially make sure the culture is clean.
