 Best Ways to Store Mushroom Spores?

Greetings,
as usual, I was wondering about something relating to mushrooms. What do you think would be the best way to store mushroom spores? Some say that sandwiching the spores between microscope slides keeps them clean and viable for years. Others say that storing them under a high vacuum(<5 microns Hg), is the best way. However, there are still others that say that simply putting them in a clean test tube is fine.
What do you think?

print on foil and store in cool, dry place. Last for years.

I just saw a thread of Agar's on dry storage in centrifuge tubes and in syringes too. Also offered a wet method also. Gl

People have stored spores embedded in dry agar? Really? I've never thought about doing that? I'll go read up on that techinique.

Prints taken on sterile glass microscope slides, folded in two and taped along the edges, which were stored in the vegetable crisper of a refrigerator for over 20 years, still germinate quite well.
