Why is this not working????? PICTURE

I shot this jar up with a sponsor's syringe on 8-29. It still looks like this. So do the other 10 jars and 39 inoculation points. All points got a .25cc. Two cakes were bought from a sponsor and the other eight I made. Any idea why this isn't working??? Did I get hosed on a syringe?

Be calm. Germination can take up to 3+ weeks. Did you agitate the syringe prior to use?

I have very similar dark spots in a few of my jars. Without removing the lid, give it a smell.

I live in Midwest and have a set up in my upstairs bedroom. Since it's been nice I have some of the windows open. Temps are anywhere from 60 at night to 80+ during the day.

This means I received two infected syringes from a shroomery sponsor. The other jars started to colonize and then got this brown mass. Check my other pictures. I am fucking pissed.
Also, I have the flu right now so I can't smell anything. Will do that as soon as I can.

Just email them and tell them of your misfortune. Most spore vendors will try to make it right by sending you a couple replacements.

before you go and jump the gun and blame the nice sponsors that supply you with what you needed, are you sure the problem was not on your side. did you use a pressure cooker? how long did you sterilize for. are the jars in direct sunlight?

Pressure cookers are not needed for BRF cakes, and direct sunlight would not cause contams....contams cause contams...

It is the syringes. How do I know? I used a control. Guess my degree finally paid off.
I made some brf cakes AND THEN ORDERED SOME JARS THAT WERE READY TO GO FROM ANOTHER SHROOMERY SPONSOR. They were shot up at different times, and everything was re-sterilized in between inoculations. They have been in two separate place colonizing (or lack thereof). ALL THE JARS LOOK THE SAME SO IT HAS TO BE THE SYRINGE.
