i was just wondering, i've just made 1 spore print and there looks like there's quite a lot of spores left in the mushroom, would i be able to do another spore print from the same cap? or does doing more than 1 print effect how potent the mushroom becomes or something?

I guess you could make 100+ but they'd be rather light. Realistically you could make maybe 10+ ...as many as you want basically.

I usually do 2 or three from a good cap. First print tends to be the dirtiest, btw.

not many ppl have the misfortune to have *1* mushroom grow in total so its just the standard to use one cap per print ... i know if i was to trade someone i wouldnt want a shitty barely perceptible print to mess with ... so that said if it your intention to use some to trade make sure you dont piss someone off with a shitty print , use 1 cap for one print ... theyre just spores not diamonds ...
if its a question of giving away mushrooms to your friends or what have you no one is really gonna care if the caps are separated from the stems , as long as you keep the cap to stem ratio even ...

I choose the nicest caps and usually make 2-3 spore prints each, depending on how well they drop spores. I never do more than 3 per cap, because I don't want to let the caps sit out longer than 1 - 1 1/2 days before drying them or else rot will start to set in and nobody wants a print from a rotting cap.

Your assumption of a mushroom only being able to drop enough spores for one dark print is wrong. Even my third prints come out dark as hell. And it's often not even done dropping loads of spores then.
