Can I use bits of mycelium from a cake that doesn't flush anymore to make shroom water syringes?? Thanx!!

It's rather iffy. Normally, we use virgin cakes for inoculation. Reduces the chance of contaminations.

I've used spent cakes to make mycelium syringes, theres no problem, as long as you cut out a piece from the centre of the cake, so you can be sure no contams will be present, at least contams that were present on the outside of the cake.

Its in your heart, its in your art, your beauty.
Even in this world of lies, theres purity.

I heard about this tek using grass, and wanted to use it, so I was just wondering, if I take a old cake, take a chunk from inside, let it in some peroxide for a few minutes, and then use it to inoculate a chunk of pasteurised grass, would there be any problems???
