Possible contamination of spore syringe?
    #22157836 - 08/28/15 06:21 PM (8 years, 5 months ago)

Hello! I am very new to the process of cultivating/growing mushrooms.

I ordered my first set of spore syringes and they arrived today. I am currently in the process of getting everything set up ready for my first PF Tek.

Having never handled a syringe in my life, instead of pulling the protective cap off the needle itself, I pulled the needle head from the syringe. A drop of spore solution came out and onto the floor, so I can only presume the spores were subjected to exposed air.

I quickly reattached it, but I am just double checking whether the syringe is still a-ok to use. Everything has gone quite smoothly so far and I would hate to have a contamination from my own silly error.

Some advice would be very much appreciated.

I'd also like to thank the Shroomery for its wealth of info. It has come in very handy for a noob like me :tongue2:

If you didnt touch the base of the needle and you put it back quick you might be ok.

Spore syringes are rarely truly clean anyways, cakes are a little forgiving in that respect.

If it was me, I would use it and hope for the best
