But I doubt it. so I will wait till the country warms up and I dont have to worry about spores freezing in transit even though I check weather before hand locally but never thought to check the weather along the shipping route.
Just chill man of all the syringes I have ever bought from my supplier I have got 1 bad one pf cakes take a long time usually so just relax and start some more jars in the meanwhile and you only need to PC pf jars for 30-45 minutes not 90.

a few spores
Isn't it better to start with a larger amount of spores to ensure more diversity when picking an isolate? I thought that was one of the reasons for using the PF-TEK? Its a fool-proof way for a rookie to introduce many spores and isolate a clone of the most promising mushrooms from the bunch of them.
That way you can get some extra prints (to be safe) and do agar to grain transfers with a good producer. This eliminates all worry about running out of spores or getting inconsistent yields.

There are thousands if not millions of spores in a single drop of spore solution.

No not really, but like Flabber said, it's a fuck load for sure.

True, at certain point it is just overkill! Thanks for the tip
