First grow, some questions

Hey guys, I have what I need to finally start my first grow, and I will probably start tomorrow. I just had a few questions to make sure I don't mess up. I have done lots of research, but still have some unanswered questions..
1) I bought a syringe, but instead of cloudy water, I got water with a black clump. I've tried to shake it a lot, but I can still see many smaller clumps, I was wondering if this is a problem, or if I can inject it as it is, and how can I break up the clumps more without ruining the spores?
2) I know everyone says vermiculite is the best, but why? Is it just because of the amount of water it can hold? or because whatever it's made of is good for the shrooms?
3) My dad has a lot of verm in his attic lol, like used as insulation, and it's been sitting there for a while. I've had trouble to find some to buy, i was wondering if i could just take a scoop of that verm? or could it harm my grow even if I pressure cook the ready jars before injection?
4) Lastly, thank you for any help, I would love any last tips from an experienced grower before I start, and what has been one of your coolest/best/craziest/strangest/etc.. experiences you've had growing??
Thanks guys!

Word of caution vermiculite insulation sold between 1919 to 1990 from Libby has a good chance of having asbestos in it and you do not want to fuck with that man!

i guess that's another question:
5) anyone know where i can buy verm? my local Home Depot doesn't have, but there's a Lowes i haven't gotten a chance to go to yet. Any other places that might have it?

Just shake the.shit outta that syringe. The clump will more than likely break up. And there are still thousands of spores you cannot see in there.
Verm holds water and slowly releases it.
I found my verm at the gardencenter of my local Fred Meyers. K Mart might even have it. Not sure what you have around you.
