Determining spore print color
    #19219680 - 12/02/13 09:54 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I recently took this spore print on aluminum foil.

(That is suppose to be pink, brown and purple paper in the pic)

I`d say it matches Wikipedia's Coral pink http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coral_(color)#Coral_pink
To me i'd describe it as a light pinkish tan.  Reminds of color found in cosmetic foundation. 

I was trying to determine the genus and hopefully the species. 

Most spore prints look dark indoors but when you look at them in direct sunlight they obviously lighten up.  Is that what is advisable to determine a spore print's color? 

Sometimes i`ll do a print on glass and slide colored paper underneath.  Also i`ll use my flashlight but I don`t think it puts out 6500K light...maybe my other one does.  Does anyone know the color temp of a Streamlight TLR-1?

The specimen.

I don't currently have the species names that I thought it was right now.  I suspect Hypholoma sublateritium.

I find it's easier to determine a spore print's color if you hold it at arm's length, then tilt it upwards or sideways to reduce glare if necessary (I print on aluminum foil). If you still can't tell, squint a little so it's slightly blurry. You won't get distracted by the pattern that way.

Spore print colour doesn't have to be too exact. It doesn't really mater what shade of pink you see, so long as you can say it's pink. There is often some variability between individuals anyway.

I was tempted to take a spore print of Hypholoma fasciculare due to it having a purple brown spore print (which is the color I'm looking for!)
Does anyone recommend any good websites with spore prints and the related genus or species?
Currently I check this one out a lot.

Sometimes I find a whole lot of (insert species here) and think can I eat that or just admire it?
I guess that's the "fun" in mycology: spending hours in a forest looking for a needle in a haystack.

i've never seen a Psilocybe print other than in pics, but it seems to be a much more violet shade of red than 'red'

Hypholoma are more 'brown' red

this is Hypholoma sublaterium spore print
