Make spore syringes or spore swabs from prints?
    #26510525 - 02/29/20 10:42 PM (3 years, 10 months ago)

Hi, I have never worked with spore prints before and I am curious as to which one's cons and pros are - It sounds like preference, but I would like to know what you guys are doing and why so I can make an educated guess on which way I should go. I have an RW print and a Texas Red Cap print. I live in an excluded state so I can't get prints or spores easily

Just throw some qtips in a lil jar and pressure cook them with your agar, swab the tip with spores in an still air box and swipe them on agar.

Yes. I am aware of how to do, but can the spores be saved after I swab it from the foil? I just don't like the idea of only swabbing 20 plates when the print can make many many many more. Hopefully I can preserve the print after use because it is really hard getting spores. I like the simplicity of the swabbing from spore but I am just trying to maximize the print's use cuz I don't know when I will get more spores again

Oh yes, just fold it back in your sab and place in a little press and seal baggy. Jewelry bags are the best. You could even make swabs to store in foil as well. If you can see the spore on the tip, it's enough to noc up numerous plates.

awesome! I like the idea of swabs better than syringes. I was worried once I swab the sprint, it is contaminated and no longer usable

Nut even if it is dirty afterwards, I should be able to clean it up on agar

Fo sho. The print is only compromised if it's wet or mistreated.

You can use a print many times with swabs. You only need a tiny amount of spores for each swipe on agar. If all goes well, youll have plenty of mushrooms to make prints from!

I prefer swabs over syringes but I'll usually just end up scraping some spores into a dish.

Thanks for the info. I found it difficult to make a syringe. Needle poking thru the foil. First I swabbed 2 plates then I went for a syringe. The swab was way easier.

Can the swab, after rolling it on spore print be also stored for a later use? Or should it be used as soon as you swab the print?

I'll usually only use a syringe if the print is several years old. Letting the spores soak for a bit helps them hydrate to speed things up. It'll hydrate all the contams, too, but that's what agar isfor.

Or use a loop and streak. That's my favorite method and uses the least spores, wo a print can last forever
