Question about spore prints

I’m at the end of my first grow. GT MSS -> agar -> ryeberries -> shoebox. So far, thanks to all the help from this community, I’m harvesting lots of mushrooms, and my first trip on tea from freshies make me think these are delivering potency as expected.
I want to learn to preserve my grows into the future. I figure step 1 is learning to print. Later, when I have more experience I’ll start exploring clones.
I red Bod’s spore print TEK and it looks straight forward, but despite my searching I still have a few lingering questions.
1. When is a mushroom ready to print?
2. What triggers it to drop the spores on the foil?
3. After I print the caps can I toss them in the fridge for a few days and then dehydrate them?
I assume after the veil is broken and the cap is extended and before it drops its first spore load? Bod has instructions for doing a first print for 4-6 hours, and a second print for 24 hours. What triggers the spore drop? I haven’t always been good at harvesting before the spores drop. And since I am doing MSS work, I harvest for a week before loading the dehydrator, and the mushrooms in the paper bag in the fridge don’t seem to drop spores in the bag.
Thanks for any help on my continued path to becoming a successful cultivator.

1) Shortly after the veil rips.
2) Probably changes in temperature, FAE and evaporation. Spores can float on air currents so thats probably a big trigger for sporulation.
3) Yeah, thats fine. Just dont forget them in the fridge

1. Once the veil breaks, it’s primed and ready. If you’re going for prints, maybe let it open up a bit more, chop the cap close to the gills and put it on whatever printing surface you’re using. Limit airflow; a SAB is great for housing.
2. Maturation, I guess? And the innate need to procreate. Temperature, and hydration (or lack there of) plays a role. There’s a term for the “ejection” process but it escapes me. Basically, it takes whatever water it has left and what’s available in the surrounding air and uses it to shotgun spores in hopes the wind will move it along.
3. Yes.

Also, you can most definitely re-print using the same cap, assuming it’s flush.
Hah, these are a few of the last prints I made recently:

Thinking they would be sparse… I let them sit for about 16-18 hours. I thought the damn gills stuck to the foil they were so thick. Could’ve easily doubled up, if not more.

Check out the Og print Tek.
It uses a wire rack to help keep everything nice and clean.
