Proper storage is essential for preserving the clarity, cleanliness, and long-term viability of mushroom spore syringes.
- Store unused spore syringes in their original mail packaging to protect them from light and temperature fluctuations.
- Keep them in a dark location, away from direct sunlight. A closet, drawer, or refrigerator works well.
- Stable temperatures are best. Not too hot and not too cold.
- Spore syringes can be stored at room temperature, but they will remain viable significantly longer when stored in the refrigerator.
- Refrigeration is ideal for extended storage, especially if you do not plan to begin microscopy research right away.
When stored properly, mushroom spore syringes typically remain viable for 9 months or longer, and in many cases much longer.
Important:
Do not freeze spore syringes. Freezing can damage both the spores and the syringe itself, making microscopy research difficult or impossible.
