mycelium in a spore syringe??

So a while back I ordered some spore syringes from the Sporelab. At the time that I recieved them I was inspecting them as if they were the holy grail but I couldnt even see any dark specks in the water. It was just compeltely clear as far as I was concerned. Then I stored them in my fridge for a while (about 2 weeks).
The first syringe I was using ran out, so I started on the second one. When I went to inject the spore solution into an LC I had made, I noticed a thin white cloud like thing floating around in the syringe. Now, this syringe was never opened from the moment I recieved it till this first time I used it. The top cap was never removed...it just layed around on a shelf for a week or two and then into the fridge for another 2 weeks. I've included some pics of this cloudy thing so that some of you might be able to tell me if this is in fact a strand of mycelium forming in the syringe.
I personally think it is actually, because when I injected some of the solution into the LC I mentioned earlier, I managed to get a tiny bit of the cloudy thing into my LC, and now, 2 days later that little cloud has already gotten bigger.
But my question, basically, whats up with this? Does this happen from time to time or is it unheard of? (Personally I thought spore syringes were made with distilled, sterilized water so I don't really understand how a spore could germinate and feed off the solution...) Whats the likelihood of it being something that could affect me in a negative way?
thx in advance

Wholy crap it really is mycelium I think. If I got that I would be happy.

Well I mean if it really is mycelium I guess that would give me a slight head start then since it should be similar to starting with an LC...but it's still strange though. How is it possible that it can grow in just water?

it can happen if even the tinest trace amounts of nutes were in the water. i believe myc can also feed off their own spore shell and other spores! maybe you got some killer cannibal myc in there

Yeah that happens, im sure its mycelium but not sure how it wors in terms of feeding since ther eis only water and spores in there. Happens when I make a syringe and jsut leave it for a long time without using it.
