Does this look right.? I've shaken the hell out of it and it doesn't separate well! It has been sitting for a few months its strain is pink Buffalo if it makes a difference http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq212/01celicablack/3dc56be3.jpg

You should be okay as long as you inject it into unicorn patties. But on a serious note. Was it stored in the fridge or room temp? Ive kept them so long that they froze in my mini fridge and they were fine.

it was kept in the fridge then someone told me it was bad to keep them in the fridge so they have been removed and stored at room temp for the last 2 weeks I also had 4 other's but they were stored in a bag and sealed individually and they look okay but this pink buffalo one look's off to me.

Ive treated some syringes quite badly and had them turn out ok. To be honest, from your picture, all I see in there is clumps of spores. I bang my syringes on the edge of a table until I can no longer see clumps of spores. Good luck!

Whether or not your syringe is contaminated is going to depend largely under what provisions to sterility were taken while taking the print and aspiring the spores into syringes. Could be that the spores in that Pink Buffalo syringe have mated in the water forming a mycelial culture.

The syringe looks okay. But there is only a few ways to truly find out. Using it is the easiest. Why is there concern of the syringe being bad in the first place. Spores sticking together have never meant that it was dirty
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.
