I sucked some boiling water up with a sterile syringe, then squirted that same boiling water into a shotglass that had a spore print in it. Then I sucked that water back up and bam a spore syringe.
Then I thought, will being placed in boiling water kill spores? Did I just make a fail?

spores die at around 50C, at least that's what i've read. Boiling water is 100C so they are probably cooked

It's very likely you killed all the spores with the boiling water but there might be a very small chance some survived if the water cooled relatively quick. I would try out the syringe but do not expect growth. Let us know if anything does grow.
Next time allow your sterilized water to cool before use. I like suck it up in the syringe while still boiling then throw it into a large zip-loc bag for the cooling phase.

This is a question that i have been trying to find an answer, for ages.
usually when i search for the death point of spores its like 105F and i ve heard a few other figures. But ive never had it confirmed for definate.
However, that is not how any tek tells you hwo to make a spores syringe.
Your water should be cooled, not straight outof the pan it was boiling.

i agree with musher though if you have the time/materials why not just give it a try. If it works then you didn't waste the spores and if nothing grows well at least you gave it a go.

Yeah, I failed, lol.
So i made new syringes with some cooled water and a spore print that hadn't been boiled.
I saved one boiled syringe, I'm gonna test it by making a jar of liquid culture, I'll keep you folk posted. Thanks for teh replies.

The idea was to suck boiling water into the syringe, put it in a new zip-loc, then let the water cool while it is in the syringe and the syringe is in the zip-loc, then take the syringe out of the bag after it has cooled down. is this what you did?

Boiling water... LMAO. Now PC the lil feckers just to make sure you got 'em all. And don't forget to change your title from "Destroyer of Worlds" to "Destroyer of Spores". Sorry, man. But that's just too funny. I hope you have more spore prints.
