When is best time to take spore print?
    #21286884 - 02/17/15 08:51 AM (9 years, 10 months ago)

Hey guys. I'm wondering when is the best time to take a spore print. I have a cake in a single terrarium that is just breaking the veils on quite a few mushrooms. I wanna be able to take a print without reducing the potency of the mushrooms. I have a piece of drawing paper that I have cut that I was using for the print. Is it okay? I'm gonna steralize the paper and the shot glass over it right before I take a print. Also should I boil the jar or just rub it down with alcohol? Thanks for the all the help shroomery :rockon:

Wait till the veil completely tears or is just about done, cut the cap off with a scalpel or scissors careful not to touch the gills (Underside of the cap where the spores are), flip it over and print.

I use a thumb tack in it to keep it in place. Not necessary if you don't believe in mind control and aliens.

Right before the veil tears is ok as well. The cap will open up and leave a nice print as it sits.

Oh okay thanks guys. :grin: So for the shot glass would I steralize by boiling or just rubbing the inside with alcohol be fine?

Prints aren't taken in sterile environments. The cap underneath is most likely harboring some nasties.

It's recommended to put all prints on agar, get germination and then transfer away.

Rubbing the inside with alcohol will be fine, I pressure cook them if I'm using them to make syringes.

I always wait till them baby's are nice and flat and dropping sports already.  You will get very nice thick dark prints this way.. :thumbup:
