Hello everyone.

I have a problem. I made a syringe the other day and when I looked at it today there is stringy bits of mycelluim sprouting about. Is the syringe garbage? Or might it still be useable?

Danka!

If it has mycelium inside of it, and it's not contams. Hell If you use it right away It'll be even better than shooting a jar full of spores. It'll take off the spore germination time.

I been wondering about this- what makes them *not* germinate in a regular syringe? Just lack of nutrients in distilled water?

Hey Hippie, generally, isn't it safe to say, that you need some food and heat for germination to occour?

i've seen it happen in tapwater,
best to use distilled for syringes.
they don't really need food to germinate,
they're living off stored food until they find some.
heat + water can be enough.
