As long as you get your spores/syringe from a reputable source you'll be fine.
As far as contams go you should never grow out a cake with comtams so it shouldn't be an issue. The moment they appear toss the cake.
But you're right never eat any you pick unless you know an expert mycologist or you don't mind dying. And never eat moldy mushies.
