Ever-lasting Spores?
    #5536663 - 04/20/06 07:04 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

I have a singles 10cc Amazon syringe chilling in my friend's refrig until I am able to move into my new place at the end of the month. They've been in there for about 2 weeks prior and will have to stay until the begining of May.

Any chance of the spores still being fertile and able to produce mycelium? Or is better to just toss them beforehand?

Good to know, wasn't going to be a big deal either way, but I'd love to use them and have them not go to waste, of course.

Thought I'd throw another question out there: Do you think you can buy a sort of heat plate or the like to sterilize your jars and such? Like putting a large pot on top of the hot plate. It is just a pain to carry things up stairs :-D

yep a hot plate works fine, you don't need to go nuts on size but don't get the tiniest one you find either. they're basically a single burner electric stove and thats a-o-k.

yer spores are fine too. i recently witnessed a 20 year old print spring to life in an LC. (it was well cared for, in a sealed package, stored in a dark cool and dry location for just about the whole time) although it was hell gettin' em scraped off the paper, they were stuck on there good after all that time! :-)

Get a good hotplate.

As for the spores. I'm unsure. You should probably ship em to me, and I'll test em for ya and whatnot.
