Spores in syringes are good for maybe 10 years if stored right.(In a cool place) Some spores will die but some will also live.I have read of spore prints still being good 20 years later.

exactly, depends on many factors, could be anywhere in between. I wouldnt go as far as indefinite but you probably will be ok. some have had success after 5 years. I hope they grow for you. Good Luck.

I just used a Australian spore print that was given to me by Anand, Had to be atleast a year old and I also had it stored in the attic for a month during the summer and just recently I used it and it was still viable
Your syringes should be good aslong as you stored them properlly. (i.e, away from alot of air currents)

i've answered this question a million times, spores have been found in mexico to be viable after thousands of years. Keep them dry and they'll last forever, as forever means in your concept of time. A short 76-86 years is just a pinpoint scratch in the surface we know as eternity, which to you, is forever...
