How many swabs do you do per shroom for spore swabs?
    #26985719 - 10/14/20 06:12 PM (3 years, 4 months ago)

I know there are a lot of variables.

But let's say swabbing 1 end of the swab only, so there is a handle.

How many would you swab for a 6 or 7 cm cap (about 2.5 inches), that's what I'm mostly getting from my B+.

If I wanted to give friends each a swab swabed on one end, how many average should I do from a cap? Don't want to spread too thin, but don't want to get too few from the really sporalicious caps.

Also is there any reason not to swab both ends and cut them in half? (other than shorter handle, but assuming the friends will follow directions with agar, be sterile, gloves, mask, lysol, SAB, etc.)

Thank you.

I do as many as I can take but that is only if it is something that seems unique.

For larger caps, like you have, I run the swab up and down each, uh, gill slot. Maybe skip every other slot. Basically, I just make sure no swab touches the same spot, although that's not necessary since the swabs are sterile, but I do it that way anyways.

You'll know there's enough spores, it'll surprise you. It's like dipping in an ink pad.  With albinos, you'll just have to trust that they're there. Just make sure you let the caps really mature to be sure (with albinos).

Thank you! sounds good.

With albinos, I'll probably check with a microscope on the first one.

is 2.5 inches a large cap? I've seen ones on here that are huge. Or are those all PE?
