Spore Print Troubles
    #26881417 - 08/15/20 10:35 AM (3 years, 5 months ago)

I took around 8 spore prints following bod's tek, but left them for around 48 hours. When I was wrapping them up, there was still a little bit of moisture in the shrooms and the prints.

When I went to use a few of the prints, the spores seemed to stuck on the foil and were very hard to remove and I ended up destroying a few prints in the process. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem where the spores aren't able to be scraped off the print easily? And what might be causing this issue?

sounds like u had a nice dark thick print and just cuz u were not removing the visibility of the print from the foil u sure as shit had spores on your swab/loop. u dont have to use that kind of force with either especially if using a loop and it was cooled in the agar first cuz thats a for sure way to load that bitch up. i use sterile swabs pretty much all the time anymore

I was making a spore syringe, so was scraping the spores in to a shot glass. There were quite a lot of spores in the syringe though, but I really did scrape it a lot (and tore the foil in the process).

The first print I got from a vendor was nice and dark, but the spores easily came off with just a gentle scrape.

start using prints to agar and dont even make syringes in the first place would be my advice. 🤷🏼

Yeah you can’t really scrape them all off foil. If it’s a really heavy print then they’ll flake off no problem but the bottom ones fuse to the foil.

Maybe dip a swab in sterile water and rub them off then swirl the swab in the water or something.

Thanks for the replies. I think next time I will try and spray the sterile water directly on the print and try and suck it up like that, thanks for the idea!

I also want to get started with agar. I just need to find somewhere locally that has petri dishes (or similar container) because shipping is way too expensive for me at the moment.
