Can Spore grow in Syringe

So i have this syringe in my closet for over 5 years now, and inside was what looked like Mycelium growing and not seeds. Is this possible?
So i inoculated a jar 5 days later i am seeing first growth of what looks like some healthy Mycelium. I read somewhere that you can put jar in the fridge and remove to induce faster growth is this true?

Sounds odd, but good luck. Update thread with pictures later. The spores need nutrients to grow, or so i thought, but maybe they can stress out over long periods of time.

5 years is a long time for a spore syringe. Although I'd imagine it's possible for mycelium to grow in a syringe, it'd be pretty unlikely to grow, and have no FAE.
Well, pics please. Also don't put it in the fridge, it won't cause it to grow any faster. Room temperature is good.

Spores can germinate and grow inside of the syringe, yes. It happens less if you is distilled water to make syringes since there are no nutes to feed on.

5 Years is nothing for a spore syringe. They could probably last a lot longer. I am currently using 5 year old syringes.

I've seen repeated all over this site about syringes not lasting more than 6 months to a year, and prints only lasting a couple of years.
This information needs to be spread around a bit more imo.

So far looks health to me. Kind of a large jar and only had a small amount in the syringe.

Lol with a short amount of supplies I whipped something together. Ingredients are: Coco nut coir which looks like straw Brown rice flour Some red wood bark for moisture And some coffee grounds It's a crazy mix but I am giving it a shot So wish me luck.

Would you say that looks alright for a 5 yr old syringe.

Update: Check on my jar a couple days ago seemed to come to a hault, I checked today and it has grown a lot in 2 days.
There is a little yellowing around the top of the jar and in the middle it is small it concerns me but I believe it is only my substrate.
So far she is still looking healthy. Any comments would be appreciated.

I am moving this jar ^ into my garage for a night thinking maybe it will give the jar a little coldness, so when returning it the growth rate will increase.
Does this work it seems like it would in theory. At night it gets cold and mushrooms do grow outside.

lol... you want room temps for colonization. 70-75 works great. There should be no reason to cold shock a colonizing substrate. It will only slow it down. There are some varieties of mushrooms that benefit a cold shock to induce pinning but any of the cubes I have experience with do not.
Also, what are using for a filter for gas exchange?
I just wondered because we usually remove the foil when we inoculate then leave it off. I assume you are using some type of filter or filter material right?

Ive had spore solution (that I prepared myself) grow myc.... and it took to grain surprisingly.
I would deposit a few drops of this liquid onto a few agar plates and hope it grows.
I certainly would not waste time injecting into grain.

it needed 2 months to reach 50% of the jar? i'm pessimistic about the future yield (if there will be any)

Indeed a long time but it is also a huge jar. I plan to break some of it into a larger casing.

Cold shocking has been debunked as far as I know. Reading threads of people who store mycelium in fridges, they say that they usually give them a day or two for them to recover. I think cold shocking will slow it down rather than speed it up. IMO you should shake it if you want it to colonise faster.

It is possible but is not my intention.
How do you prevent this by keeping in darkness.
I want to continue some of this myc into a spawn bag

So this is were I am at the photos below are what it still looks like. Growth has slowed down.
What I want to do is cut this cake up into a casing, do I dunk a hydrate before braking it up.
Would you say this jar looks healthy enough to remove, at this rate I want to avoid early pinning.

If it is stalling my guess would be that something else is growing in that jar. I wouldn't put mycelium from a stalled jar in a spawnbag if you are still thinking about that.
Anyways yeah, you should dunk it before crumbling. Especially if you are not gonna add bulk(which I wouldn't since you probably have something else growing in there). Bulk gives moisture more than it gives nutes and we still hydrate grains before spawning. I never crumbled cakes before but I think that is the way to go.
