Syringe Question

I want to get into growing these wonderful fungi's, but I need to know a few things first. Firstly I need to know about syringes. Do I have to have a specific type of syringe to grow? Because if not I have one laying around that looks like this:

Will this work for collecting spores off my prints or not?

i guess there can't be any difference between syringes as long as they are sterilized...

Alright I will attempt this, although I am having some trouble navigating through this website. Could you link me with a BEGINEER growing guide possibly?

This thread was moved from The Ethnobotanical Garden.
Reason: Moving because the Ethnobotanical Garden is for growing plants and discussion about them. The folks over at mushroom cultivation should be able to help you out as they deal with growing mushrooms.
Also, Welcome to The Shroomery!

the best beginner friendly grow guide, for you would be
www.mushroomvideos.com...goto that site and watch all the video's, if you have the extra cash purchase the DVD you'll be so glad you did if you're serious about this hobby..
also i would recommend buying a spore syringe from a vendor for your first attempt...for less then 20 bucks you can order from ralphstersspores.com and get 2 syringes if you write SOTM on your order form..
and as said earlier welcome to the shroomery, hope can help ya out!

My grow guide covers growing mushrooms, collecting spore prints, and making syringes, in addition to other topics. The link is in my signature.
Good Luck.

As you're a beginner, I highly recommend purchasing a spore syringe from a sponsor also. This will make things less complicated for you in the long run.

The PF Tek would be absolutely perfect for you. Search it, there's even a great website too if you just put "Pf Tek" into Google. It is about as simple as it can get to grow these, and you will get a fair amount. Most people move on to bulk grows when they get experienced enough to get a bigger yield, but since you said that yield is not as important to you, the PF Tek should be great. Happy Shrooming!

The Syringe on your pic is the best kind. Because of the rubber inside and that the needle is screwd on. The ones mostly selled in germany from braun are not so cool. Because they have no rubber,after autoclaving for reuse they are not really thight anymore and the the needle is just plugged on.
--------------------
 And guess, Pf-tek was last week!
