Wrote to the supplier. Explained the sitch.
Turns out it is culture not spore syringes though sold as spore. No complaints here. Advised that they indeed may need more time to spawn.
well I have read that people have spawned into grain, or onto cardboard or onto wood.
I went straight to small wood chips in hardwood sawdust both in an open but pasteurized environment and in sterilized bags. What should be the difference? Spores drop onto hardwood chips “in the wild”. However...
If these don’t colonize and I get more syringes or prints I will try inoculating grain and do the cardboard thing. So far I have not seen anything happening.
the syringes I got where very lightly yellow tinged and looked more like live culture than spore so I’m assuming some of the spores...

hardwood sawdust pellets...
If you do use a kit I suggest prepping and doing grain transfer as soon as your kit arrives. Then your loaded and ready to go for round two. You can pretty much go perpetually from a starter kit.
