scraping spores
    #21899322 - 07/05/15 12:50 AM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Suddenly i feel like i cant deal with prints and to be specific...the small ones.
whenever i scrap em out of the foil they seem to get stuck on the butter knife or the foil and nothing is dropped inside the cup.
then i end with a sterile water syringes!

I actually had the same problem! I couldn't get a freaking spore syringe for the life of me. It caused me to move to agar, and I haven't looked back! You can actually see the speck of spores on agar, so you know you did it right.

But maybe you should try to turn the print over to make sure everything falls out that you scraped.

Squirt water into the baggie and agitate the spores and suck back up. If you have a print on folded foil this might be more challenging but use gloves, unfold and put in a new Ziploc bag. And proceed. I always store prints so I can easily make syringes. I use 60 cc so a print goes a looong way.

:rofl: same problem here. Its fucking annoying as hell.

I turn the print upside down as i scrape and i tap my exacto knife onto the shot glass i use to catch them.

Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

I was thinking about putting a few drops on the prints i have (on foil) by opening the print and making a small indentation where the print is. Then suck it back up into the syringe and shake. :shrug: hopefully i can balance some water on the foil

I bent a staple into a triangle, grabbed it with a pair of forceps, and now use one of the points for scraping spores.  Works splendidly, no need to worry about puncturing the foil, easy to flame till glowing

OOPS: I meant a surgical suture, not forceps.  Needle nose vice grips or needle nose pliers will probably do the trick as well.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister.  I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave.  I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent.
Triggered yet?

Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."


No, this does not look right...
