spore syringes are just big hypodermic needles, used for horses and such. Tractor supply carries them(or a local feed store) ya need to find some short 1/2 pint jars to get ya started. The jars aren't real easy to find so start looking now(luckily for you its canning season, so you might get lucky). Also make sure the jars are tapered(a little smaller at the bottom) or your cakes wont slide out. Shrooms are easy once you get it figured out.
