keeping LC alive for years to come?

Basically, I need an old hand help here.
Lets say I have a 6 month old jar of LC. Can't I just suck up a bit of it and pump her into a NEW LC jar? And then it will recolonize fresh and stay for another 6 months? Then continue the process?
Would there be any logical reason that the LC or spore or strain viability would decrease in any way?

The thing with LC or mycelium is that it is prone to 'strain degradation' decline to a low, destitute, or demoralized state or in other words becomes 'weak' little oversimplification maybe.....

I believe when mycelium feeds off the same nutrients for a long time they will eventually only be capable of digesting that very simple form of nutrients... Once you get them into something more complex like grain or manure they will no longer have the enzymes required to make good use of those new nutrients.

i think u can suck up the myc and then let it settle in the bottom of the syringe (syringe needle up) then wait for it to settle out and slowly push out all the water till you only have settled out myc. then put it in a test tupe and fill with distilled water and it preserves like this for a long time. i don't really see why you couldn't just leave it in a syringe with distilled water but i guess then you end up with a ton of them.
