Help, no mycelium growing! :(

Hi, i'm new to the forum and would be very grateful for some help. I had a look around on the forum and i'm guessing that the lack of mycelium growth seems to be from dodgy spores. I got 3 mixed grain kits from deva ethnobotanicals and 2 ecuador spore syringes. 3 Different people have set the kits up and both syringes have been used (5cc ish from 1 for 2 kits and around 2.5cc from the other syringe on the 3rd kit). The kits were set up in a dark place at room temperature after inoculation, but its been a month or so and there is absolutely nothing growing. Does anyone know how reliable deva are for spores? Any ideas what could be wrong? 3 different growing conditions from 2 different syringes  Thanks in advance

you probably got screwed. they're not a shroomery sponsor so you can't talk about them here. if you have questions, you'll have to ask them, not anybody here.
order your spores from sporeworks next time and you won't have the same problem.

Thanks for the responses. Sorry, didn't realise i couldn't mention them. I'm in the UK, do you have any sponsors that are located here (don't really want to ship from abroad)? If i get some more spores, will i be able to use the same kit or do you think its too old now?

Spores101 has a UK store. If you plan on using substrates you've already inoculated, you 'd definitely want to re-sterilize them first (it's best to get a hold of new ones if this is the case). For untouched substrates, it usually best to use them within 2 weeks of sterilization, but if necessary, you can probably make due with them.

Use spores 101, Im in the uk, Believe me, it was actually cheaper to order from the us and deliver here than order from the uk,
1 syringe from uk dodgy store £15-20 xcluding delivery.
3 syringes from spores101 $40(£20) xcluding delivery.
Delivery is only like a few dollars.

Word to the wise... stay away from anyone trying to sell kits. First of all... It is illegal to cultivate cubensis mushrooms... So anyone who would sell you the spores along with the means to cultivate them is probably not reputable. Most people who are legit either only sell mushroom grow kits or spores... Never both, they risk too much that way. Spores101 is my hero... Check them out next time... THey are a sponsor here so you know they're good. Kits aren't necessary.... Check out the search engine for "PF Tek"... use this tek for your first time then... start searching on casings and if you want to go the distance... check out horse poo. There really is no easy grow method for mushrooms... and when you get kits, you never know how well it's been sterilized and such.
