Should I use these spores?
    #19144886 - 11/16/13 11:13 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've had a 10cc spore syringe stored in a small metal safe the size of a home theater subwoofer for 3 to 4 months. The safe is cool to the touch on the outside and I would guess remains somewhere in the 50 degree F range inside but I could be off on that estimate...I do know the syringe has been in complete darkness the entire time and hasn't moved from its position within the safe.

My question is, before I invest in the various materials I will need to complete the cultivation process, do you think these spores are still viable and not "expired" for lack of a better term?

I just would hate to start seeing contaminated jars in two to three weeks because I didn't and couldn't put the syringe in the fridge...but that's the name of the game I know.  Do I need to obtain fresher spores?

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

The best way to find out is to shoot up a test jar. If the spore solution itself is contaminated, you will know within a week.

I've used spores that sat at room temp for 18 months! They germinated splendidly. Testing them is the only way to know for sure
