My spore syringe looks normal?

I received a PF albino syringe yesterday from a shroomery sponsor, but she looks really weird, spores dont form the usual clumps, there is a unbreakable mass grey/whitish translucent with spore inside...I don't think that's mycélium...what's your opinion? Thanx

Well, it doesn't look normal, that's for sure.
It doesn't really look like mycelium to me either, so I'd contact your vendor and send them the photo and details on your order.

I had a syringe like that. All my jars got a dusty green mold. Do not use it.

Spores IME won't look like that unless they have germ, in which case they arn't spores anymore. I'd call contam, but streak it and you'll know in 2 days.

your spores germinated...
you have a mycelium syringe now!~
give it a whirl...
shake the syringe up really good...to break up the mycelium.
then try inoculating one jar and if it starts colonizing...
if it does work...then inoculate the rest.

While I'm not the most experienced grower (to say the least), I think Road is correct. Looks like mycelium to me.
I'd do an LC with it. If it is myc you'll have plenty of LC to knock up jars with and if it's bunk, no biggie.
Unless your goal was to do an LC with the syringe anyway (or the syringe is bad), I'd ask for a replacement from the vendor.

Are you sure thats mycellium? I had the exact same thing and all my jars ended up contaminating. I know it wasnt my procedure because I inoculated some more jars from the same batch with a different syringe and they turned out fine.

I'm definitely not sure it's myc at all. The suggestion Road and I are making is that it kinda looks like it so why not knock up an LC and see what happens? And again, either way, get a replacement from the vendor.
Remember, these are intended to show up as spores to be viewed under a scope. Whatever is inside that syringe, it definitely isn't what s/he ordered. Since s/he'll be getting a replacement, why not give it a shot?

I would definitely try it in an LC but wouldn't waste my time using it on grains.

I had two syringes that looked like that, and so far all my jars/petri dishes made from them have contaminated. Dragon
