Old LC in tha fridge

Hello, im wanting to start another new grow. The last one was cut short for some reasons. I have alot of left over spores and about 10ccs of LC. the thing is that its pretty old. about 10 months old. I was wondering if i could still use it. Im planning on knocking up 12 half pint jars? do i have enough?
But the main question is if it is too old. I stored it in a air tight zip lock bag in the bottom of my fridge. And also i looked at it and it looks like it has a like 2 clumps of black.. Im not sure if its a contamn or spores. I think its spores because i used a empty spore syringe and you know how spores usualy stick to the bottom of the syringe? Would it be safe if i use it? Contamns usualy wont grow in a cold ass fridge would they? Ok thank you guys.

not chunks.. more like small flakes. like how the spores look in the syringe. my main concern is if the myc is still healthy after that amount of time.

a good way to find out is to test it on a jar

if its only 10 cc's then it would be worth taking your spores and making 200 cc's worth

How is anyone going to be able to tell you what the black stuff at the bottom of your lc jar is? Secondly, you said you've got a 10 month old LC, so you've waited 10 months since inoculating it. Why are you in such a the rush now that you've bumped this post twice in a few hours? Test the LC and spores on small batches of substrate, then proceed from there. It's not rocket science.

The magic 8-ball says- How in the hell is anyone going to be able to tell you if your LC is viable? TRY IT and see.

A liquid culture can be kept for many years in the refrigorator. Many growers use this method of having a master culture, which they use to make up more lc's which they use to grow.
When they run out of LC they go back to there master and use that to inoculate more LC.
A simple use of the search would have found your answer.
Yes a refrigerated 10 month LC can still be viable.
However i am unsure about the black in the syringe, could be spores. who knows.
Make up pf jar and test it out on that
