Spore printing morels and next year's inoculum

I spore printed these landscape morels but left them for 48 hours and some spores are already germinating (see the white fuzzy stuff) - looks like I have volunteers for next year's inoculum as drying now would probably kill off that mycelium. Only problem is I can't find fresh wood chips so we might have to take some gambles with older wood chips. The issue with older wood chips is that mycelium has already started running on a lot of them so it is going to end up being a mixed species bed. Let's see who fruits in the next few years on an alder bed!
