I don't think mycelium would be growing inside a syringe. It wouldn't have any nutrients. Don't listen to me though, I could be wrong, it's just that I have never heard of that. Syringes are legal in most places as far as I know because they don't have any psilocin/psilocybin, but I think spores are illegal in California? Mycelium would be considered illegal since it has psilocin/psilocybin and I suppose it would be considered cultivation.

If you use other water than distilled it might cause spores to germinate. It have enough nutrients to germinate, but not enough to continue and colonize the entire syringe. So, what specked syringe would be illegal.Later, tweedy.

Before I start here, don't jump all over me if I am wrong, K? I thought I read somewhere that customs will oftem confiscate syringe orders from the Netherlands not because they are spore syringes, but because the syringe they are in is considered as drug paraphenalia no? So if its in the mail domesticly its ok but outside its not? Once again that old dumb mind set working! I know customs is not involved in dealing with domestic shipments, but syringes are for sale at this one hardware store I shop at, with a selection of about 8 different sized needles, some blunt tipped, and some with the bevel that clould be used to intravenously inject about anything. The package is clearly marked for hobbyist use only- not sterile but damn folks what does a pressure cooker do? I also had a diabetic dog once and it was real easy to get various pharmasists to sell me syringes by merely haveing me say that they were for my diabetic dog. As you can see none of the various laws "fit" any given pigeonhole, they tend to use them in any manner they see fit.

I work at a veterinary diagnostic lab, and so have a ready supply of every possible shape and size syringe/needles. I don't think syringes are a problem at all; When I was living in Seattle, there was this guy who had a regular spot on the Ave handing out these little 5-10 CC syringes to any Tom, Dick or Sally to help stem the IV-AIDS spread in the area. He didn't have any 20 CC's available Also, my dad has recently gotten into injecting his turkeys before cooking or deep-frying them. He didnt' have a problem getting his 30 CC syringe and 15 1/2 gauge needle. As far as being considered paraphanelia, that's a new one to me. May be a state-to-state thing.In

I've sent syringes from the Spore Lab here in Canada to many countries around the world including entire boxes full to the US with the customs sticker clearly marked 'Sterile Syringes". There has never been a problem!------------------ Visit the Captains Spore Lab at: http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Meadows/4448/spores.htm

The wight wispy stuff is more than likely just wax, as most prints are made on wax paper, so when you are scrathing the spores off you get some wax with it.

Actually, I have to retract--I am SURE that the 'white wispy stuff' is mycelium. For one, I made some of these syringes myself at work. I had to check to compare my spore syringes to my mycelium syringes, and BOTH had this wispy material. Despite all the warnings about consuming laboratory water, I used this stuff for both types of syringes. The presence of agar in my mycelium syringes could not account for subsequent growth--the spore syringes responded similarly. Recently I brought a chia pet to work [already sprouted] and within 72 hours of watering it with 'laboratory "non-potable" water' it greened up significantly. I think perhaps the chemical triggers for spore germination could include some heavy metals, like iron, magnesium, calcium . . . This water at work is almost yellow in color. Anyway, thanks for making me double check, but indeed my spore syringes [which were taken from glass petris] have germinated.
