Not a print but you can get spores.
"Mycelium obtained from the spores of one mushroom was kept as a stock culture on 6% malt agar (6). The spores can germinate after a storage of the dried mushrooms for 9 month at 20?C."
Gartz 1992 http://www.psilocybe.org/Wissenschaft/aspects01.htm
but... go to the fsre - itll save alot of hassle unless you have a rare species

A dry mushroom wont drop spores very well, but you can still get a culture from it if you have some agar plates and a sterile glovebox. Just clone a piece of tissue. Or perhaps, if your friend's dog had a large stash they might mix up some mushrooms directly into dung, extracted first if he wanted.

My neighbors friend has had luck choosing a mature dried cap and soaking it in a PC'd jar of water for a couple of days, enough spore were left in the water to start a couple of jars. he had a very high contamination loss almost 80%.

You can?t clone a dry mushroom.
What you can do is to place a mushroom gill on agar. With some luck you might get a pretty clean culture.

put a mushroom gill on a small piece of sterilized cardboad, wait for spores to germinate, and transfer to agar, or liquid medium w/ h2o2 .

I always sent $2 US to FSRE, otherwise you gotta use a Euro coin and they are easy to spot/steal.
Best bargain you'll find, you won't be able to use the Marketplace forum yet, ya need a given amount of posts (100?) and days (90??) as a member I believe...

depends on how the mushroom was dried, if it was dried at too high a temperature, the spores won't germinate.

Does it really matter when someone resurrects an old thread? It saves starting a whole new one to ask the question on your mind. It's more efficient. We find these old threads because we were particularly searching for them.. It's all information. And it doesn't have a damn 'use by' date. Someone can always add their own useful input, doesn't need to be the OP.

The thing is, you almost never can get a fruiting substrain from shiitake spores. Buy a culture from a sponsor.

Cheers matey.
It kind of reminds me when someone calls you up on the phone asking what button is the flat buzzer, then saying "ok I'm will press the buzzer right now".. When your already know they at the damn door. EVERYONE does it, and it makes absolutely no sense. It's just autopilot. lol.
