Small black dots/spots at inoc points!?

There have been these weird black spots at inoc points on my friends grain jars. Perhaps one out of 10 inoc points has them. They're from an APE syringe from a well trusted shroomery sponsor. The syringes had a small white cloud with a few black spots inside them. My friend thought this was weird to start with because APE spores are supposed to be on the translucent side. After reading others' posts with similar syringes from the same sponsor, he proceeded to test said syringe. Everything seems to be fine. The black dots stay at inoc points and do not spread. They look like spore groups but... APE spores shouldn't be visible like that. My question is... what the hell are these black dots?

Individual spores are microscopic. Cross your fingers that it's just clumps of spores.

If it was a new moon its likely fine, dont qoute me on it though but i believe there actually lc's ...if they are indeed new moons do a search...just type in new moon and posted by 36fuckin5 but it was something like active carbon or something they used to disguise it

Hmmm. Seems like someone would know for sure... They're not new moon as far as I know. They're from one of the TOP sponsors here. Seems odd. They're on day 5 now and no growth from them other than myc. Just a few of them have these black dots at inc point.

I'd say they're spores for sure, but I thought APE spores were clear... Maybe he got a mislabeled syringe?

If it is a sponsor here you can say there name. It doesn't matter.
Individual spores will be so small that a spore syringe can look clear, but most cube spores will look black when clumped.

Sounds like they are spore clumps to me. However, if they are true albinos then they shouldn't be black. Maybe they're just leucistic or perhaps mislabled

That's exactly what it looks like, but not nearly as much. Haha. That's bawlsy of them, but I love it. Could have done it for me since they were out of stock at the time and I kept asking. Thank you for your help. I looked quite a bit and did not find that post.

If you have one of ET's special syringes then you're fine.
It isn't an LC I don't think
