How do spore prints go bad?

I think I got a shitty spore print that won’t germinate. Could spores go bad by just being too old? Or bad storage of some sort? I got a Gymnopilus print from * * , I think they used to be a sponsor but no longer are. Anyway, I scraped a little bit on some agar on 11-18, still nothing, no bacteria nothing. So I scraped a larger amount on a different plate on 12-6, nothing no bacteria nothing, so I just now scraped the whole print on to that same plate just to see if I can get anything to grow. I just figured gyms took longer to germinate, but didn’t think it would take that long to see nothing. It’s on MEA., if that matters. All the cube spores I put on the same agar took off like a champ.

Some genus/species don't store as well. Is your agar soft?

More on the firm side. Should I try to smear the spores into it a little?

I’ve read that a thing can happen where if it wasn’t stored properly and got humid or was wet after printing and wasn’t left to dry before wrapping it up then all the spores can germinate on the foil and become useless.
Is this real/possible?
