Reputable vendor selling bad spores???

So I ordered up a couple spore syringes from a reputable vendor and when they arrived today, they look like they are contaminated. I suspect this from experience in the past and it just doesn't look right. The spores are dark but they are clustered together almost like its encased in mucus. To me they look bad, but I searched some old posts and a few people said they should be fine. I would like your input into this situation. Three different strains and all have the same appearance.

They should be fine. I've had some like that before with no issues. I believe its charcoal that they add to make the visual users more happy, since spores are clear.

thats a little more comforting. Not sure about all spores being clear though. all the other syringes I have bought or made myself came from fresh prints and they were pretty dark.

yeah it seems that the route I'm gonna have to take. It just seems like a reputable vendor wouldn't have spores looking like that. it literally looks like black liquid culture. I know its been warm lately but I don't suspect that the postal service left them out in the baking sun. Is it possible that they are attempting to germinate?

Don't sweat it too much. I ordered from spore works a few times and thats how mine looked. They fruited beautifully and contamination free. I wondered what that slimy looking stuff was too...

the more i hear people say they had the same thing happen to their syringes from reputable vendors and they were good the better I feel. Why is it that every time i make my own syringe it looks nothing like that, It looks like fine black sandy water?
