My mycelium syringes are frozen

Bought some mycelium spores and when they arrived they were frozen. They are liquid form in syringes. How long they were frozen I don't know, I've been leaving them out in room temp. I got them out of mail box 20 minutes ago, right now its hovering around 10 degress. Are they still good?

If its anything like viruses, every freeze thaw cycle will reduce the number of viable particles by about a log, but if there were a lot of spores there to begin with, you should still be able to grow them. The danger is if there were many freeze thaw events during shipping...

I can say from experience they are most likely dead. The crystallization of the water in cell walls has destroyed your spores.

Ah well experience trumps speculation any day. There are cryoprotectants that can be added when freezing cell s to keep them more intact. I wonder if vendors could utilize something like this in the winter..

My knowledge of this particular strain is limited. Cubes are tropical so the odds are against you. Spores are generally much more hearty than mature fungus so just shoot a bunch into a culture and hope for the best. You might be surprised.
As for vendor cryoprotection. They should be able to put some glycerol in to make them freeze resistant.

They are toasted... probably burst their cell walls from the expansion in the syringe due to the ice crystallization.. bummer man. Might as well try though! And email your vendor, let them know the situation.
