collecting spores with shotty.

Hey guys,
I'm gonna collect some spores from my currently growing shrooms.....
Question,
Is it feasible to put the mushroom cap INTO the shot glass so the spores drop off there, so i don't need to scrape them off the tin foil?
As I don't see any difference in how more or less sterile things will be compared to putting it on tin foil and moving it around ect ect......
If the spores are already in the shot glass....then I can just add the sterile water, scrape it around a bit with the head of the needle and then suck it back up....
Will this work ok?
Thoughts? Comments? Experiences? Free gifts of money?
thanks so much everyone, if i had a sister, i'd give you all first dibs.
-------------------- I like you.

You can get more syringes off of a print!

Ahhhh that makes sense.
Cool, so i will buy a shot glass and whack the mushy cap inside and wait a day or so for the spores to drop out. good times!

IF i use 4 mushroom caps to make 4 spore syringes , i can use each syringe approximately 3 or 4 times, so that should be a good enough start. it's not like 4 shrooms is a lot.....

But one print per syringe is a little overkill lol

Perhaps, but it makes the process more sterile and there is no real downside.
more spores would mean better chance of good colonisation perhaps?

less is more with spores

Oh rly? why is that?
I haven't found much info explaining it......
It just means I would spray out less of the liquid, so i'd get maybe 6 hits out of one syringe instead of 4, also it depends if i'm using a small cap = not a large amount of spores.

spores are never really clean if fruited in open air, the less you have the less genetics you have i'm sure there are more reasons for that but thats all i got off the top. i like my syringes pretty clear

Believe it or not me too. I like when I don't see shit in them.

A dark syringe will allow thousands more spores to be injected at eash inocculation point, but I view it as more wasteful when just a few spores at each point is needed... plus you can get greater distribution of the spore suspension with fewer spores

Yeah you get way more spores for faster colonization but I find it's way way better to have less in there to have fewer genetics
