Hi guys i was looking to get into edibles and was hoping someone would be so kind to gift me either button, shitake or oyster spore print. I have tried growing fresh store bought pieces on agar but not have any luck. Tried getting prints of them also didn't work

You are better off just buying grain spawn then you know what you have and if done right you will never have to buy that strain again. I would buy from a reputable supplier PM me if you want to know where I buy from. This is why I suggest you put a general location in your tag so it helps people help you!! I can't really help much if I don't know where you are located.

What is going on when you try to clone the mushrooms on agar? How long do you wait? And where do you take your tissue sample?
I just cloned some oyster mushrooms from the store two weeks ago and it worked fine.

Waited for longest 4 weeks on agar. Take sample from the cap. Slice mushroom in half and take sample from inside the cap. Turns dark blackish colour about 2-3 days on agar. Then about a week there is this slimey growth on the agar. Tried about 3 times now

It shouldn't turn black. When I clone my mushrooms, I take the sample from the bottom of the stem and I have 90% success rate. If it turn dark it is most likely spoiling, it always turns white and fluffy when it starts growing.
When you rip the mushroom in half, try to sample from the white tissues.
What agar recipe do you use? I had a lot of contams when I was using to much nutrients before.

Buy a LC make Petri's slants and spawn.
Taking a clone from a mushroom that is closer to being senescent and getting good results is hard. You can do it!!!
When you buy a LC syringe the guess work is all taken care of already. When you start from spores you got some good work to find a good strain, but that is the key.
