How long can a jar of spawn last before it goes bad and cannot be used?

I'm just a tad bit concerned because I won't be moving into my new place for a little more than a week. I currently have about 14 jars of WBS spawn that are either fully colonized, or will be within 3-4 days. How long can spawn reasonably stay in a jar before it needs to be discarded? I assume my spawn will probably be fine, but can it be reasonably stored for a long period of time? Would putting the jars in the fridge be a good option if they require storage of longer than a month or so?

They can go for years if not a decade in the fridge. Put the fully colonized ones in the fridge. You can put am the jars in the fridge actually. They can last for months outside the fridge. Just really depends on temp. The jars will rapidly fill up with metabolites if they Ares too warm. It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about

Seriously? Do commercial producers use this method when they need to store surpluses of spawn? I guess I do remember RR refrigerating his master culture slants for long term storage in his videos series.

Yes, seriously. I have used two year old 1/2 gain jars that were stored at room temp before.I poured off the liquid and things seemed fine in the grow. It's just not desirable
