Morel spore print question

I found a lot of morels today at my spot I always leave the butts of the stem in the ground but I want a spore print. What is the best method for getting a print from these? Do they take longer than cubes to sporulate? I only saved two specimens ate the rest. Here they are.

Bro, you can't even grow cubes right. You don't have a prayer with morels.
The most successful morel grows I've seen are people who took massive bunches of fresh wild gathered ones and slurried them in a food processor. Diluted the solution and then poured it all over their beds. (There were some more steps in the middle) Then repeated with the ones that came the following year. It was some guy on youtube (gonna get flamed for that one) and was hands down the successful documented morel grow I've seen on the internet, and I've looked, alot.

I can grow cubes tho I've done it.. I just want to spread the spores outside were I found them and see what happens. Seems worth a try because they come back there every year I'm not planning on trying these indoors that's hard af. I am gonna try some gymnopilus luteofolius this year for sure. Gotta try new things to learn stuff.

I watched that morel grower, he has his kids help. Gallons of slurry all over his yard, year after year. They make a game out of finding the most when they come up. He gets lbs and lbs worth, grinds the best ones up again. Jeeps going. He said something about getting the spores is near impossible, and growing from spore is tough (probably like cubes though) so he slurred up up again and again. Most morels I've ever seen, that guy

THATS THE ONE!
I showed that video to my brother and he is in the middle of trying it himself. I should go over and take some pics, maybe make a post.
Most people can't get morels to grow even with proven cultures. I can't even imagine trying from spore.
Some Old Timers once told me when hunting morels to keep them in an onion sack tied to your belt to spread the spores around the woods as you search for more. I found that surprising insightful given that these are the same people who boil squirrel heads, crack the skulls with nut crackers, and slurp out the brains.

I would think a sterile cotton swab wiping the divots on the cap would score you some. Kind of like what people do for PE & APE.
O and those people know their shit cause they live off that land.
