Bad spore syringe?

I recently ordered some spores from 2 vendors. 1. The spore store 2. Spores101. My spore store order shipped fast so I was able to get them into some BRF cakes. Pressure cooked for 60 min with dry verm ontop. As soon as I seen mycelium I seen green mold in over half of them. So they were pitched. Spores101 order showed up so I made 10 rye jars. 4 got the spores101 and 6 got the spore store stuff. The jars from spores101 are doing fine no mold and slowly growing. But the other 6 show mold the same time they show mycelium. I do all my work in a clean room inside of a glove box sprayed 15 min before. Does this sound like a vendor issue to y'all or am I missing something. If it where me wouldn't the 4 other jars show mold 2? The BRF cakes I pitched all came from the same syringe. The ones left from a different 1

You storyline was very hard to understand. Use paragraphs next time. Also, read your own post before submitting. Make sure it is easy to understand.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how confident are you with your sterile technique?
2 hours is a long time to pressure cook. I usually do 60 minutes. Maybe your jars are too wet and mushy?
Post some pics of your jars, it would help.

I am very confident in my sterial technique. My grains are not wet at all. I followed RR rye tek from him DVD. I usually only PC for 90 min but I read on one of his posts that he did it for 120 min so I tryed. My other 4 jars with spores from spores101 are fine and out of the same batch. Only difference is the spore supplier. I put in a order at The Spore Depot. Should be here this week.

Well i have not heard of the spore store before, so it is not a sponsor here. And spores101 have a EXTREMELY bad reputation on this forum for giving out wrong spores, contaminated spores and so on.
So i would venture a guess that it's your spores. Go to our sponsors instead.

The spores were ordered before I found this place. The Spore Depot shipped my order today and I'm only a couple states away so should be here soon. I have been growing herb for many years and mushrooms not so long, but am just recently finding this and the growery site.
