syringe question

I have been out of the shroom cultivation game for a while. Main reason for that is I was 18 when I started. I didn't want to risk getting my parents in trouble. But now I am on my own and 20 years old I would like to start again. I recently made 10 PF jars and pressure cooked them. They are cooling off right now. I have a few syringes with spores left but they are about 2 years years old. Now the question.. Are they still good/viable? They still look the same.. I read that they could only last 6 month refridged.. Then I also read they have been reported viable for years after..
I dont want to waste perfectly good PF jars. But I dont want to waste money/spores as well.
Is there anythign I should look for in the syringe to tell if its no good?
Help appreciated
thank you.

Make an LC youll find out in a few days. That way you wont mess up your water content by injecting spores that dont germinate.

They should still be ok, but I would make an LC, its really easy, take a jar, put a cup of water in it, put a teaspoon and a half of honey or karo syrup in it, and pc for 15 minutes at 20psi. Let it cool, then shoot it up with a few drops of spores. you should see growth within 5 days
