Do these spore syringes look OK?

Got these from a reputable source (although outside of here), one is supposed to be pe the other ape. In the past I've had spores globbed together, but these looked like this even after shaking/swirling a bit. Is the dark blob possible contam, and is the white blob possibly myc? I think I've read where ape spores have germinated in the syringe before but figured before I attempt to put these to plates I'd get some input. Thanks!

First pic collected spores to a chunk, the other is germinated.

Those are fine... I've gotten syringes that looked like that in the past and didn't have any issues... plus, if you're going to plates, you'll find out either way anyway... lol

Yeah no doubt, but I figured I'd ask first so if they were particularly fucked I wouldn't waste time/materials lol.
Any thoughts on how long I'll be able to get away storing the ape refrigerated? I know spore syringes last quite a while but with that one having had germinated..

Thanks goat - any thoughts on how long I can safely get away with storing the ape refrigerated? I know typically spore syringes will keep for a while but with that one already germinating to myc I assume it won't stay viable as long?

Same storage as usual, but if myc mass gets too big it may be an issue to pass the needle

Good point. Going to get this to agar asap, transfer from there.

To each their own 🤷🏻♂️ I've had no issues with any of the syringes I've gotten from two different sources.

You get what you pay for I promise you. If you pay a little extra you'll probably get cleaner spores and better genetics. I went cheap once and not only did I get bad results but the potency was so bad that I couldn't even feel anything. That's why I only trust those vendors.

Makes sense and I do subscribe to the you get what you pay for mantra. I've only bought from vendors with good reputations and so far haven't had an issue. Guess we'll see how these pan out. The PESA and B+ I did worked out great.
