Idiot proof spore syringe

Cut two 1/4 inch strips of plastic off the end of a spawnbag make them about 3 inches long.
Throw them into a container of your favorite sterilizer peroxide bleach/water alcohol whatever,let soak.
Clean a section of bench or a plate with same.
Pull out the strips with sterile tweezers and let them dry on the plate under a clean sterile glass.
Put your cap on the plate and put the strips under it like so. don't let the strips touch the stem.
let the spores fall till they are nice and thick.
Pick up the strips with STERILE tweezers and drop them into sterile water and shake....suck up and let it sit in the syringe for 12 hours and use as normal.
for a really dark syringe pull the plunger out of the syringe and put the strips inside it, put plunger back in and draw in water.
Once in a while the plastic may block the needle when you're injecting but if you stick a sterilized pipe screen in that is a snug fit into the syringe beforehand it will keep the plastic strip from blocking the needle.you could also just draw back a bit and tap it then inject again....your call.
I haven't tried sterilizing a needle with a screen in it in the pressure cooker so do so at your own risk..it may melt into the syringe body and ruin it,I'm not sure.
This also works with those little 1cc and 2 cc syringes you can get at the pharmacy but you have to make the strips smaller.
It's also a good method for getting morel spores or any other fruitbody without a stem that you have to hang just tape it to the top of the glass or lay it over two pencils that have the strips between them.
Lather,rinse repeat.

Yeah somebody is bound to mess it up. but if they stick to the directions it should work out. just make sure you soak the strips in saliva and shit....no I mean isopropyl alcohol and if you take out the plunger only put it down on something sterile...like a flamed petri dish or alcohol soaked cotton sheet.

i think an easier techinigue is simply sterilize a jar, then set the mushroom inside it. put the lid on. open it in a glovebox or outside brriefly, then remove the cap. inject water, and uve got some nice spore solution.

Do you mean submerge the entire cap (and gills) in straight 3% peroxide for a couple of seconds then removing it? Or swabbing down the top of the cap with straight peroxide? Will spores drop after the gills get wet?

I've also done this with a sterile washer. the washer is in black. note the mushroom is off center so more gills are over the opening so the spores drop inside more
it's in a tall glass stuck into playdough.(the cover is still on the needle) after you just put the plunger in and draw water into it when you want to use it. you can keep the spores inside it dry for as long as you like! I call it a dry syringe.

I've never taken spore prints so perhaps I'm not one to talk, but why are you putting an entire cap's worth of spores into one syringes? I've repeatedly seen it said that 1 decent sized cap can be made into 5-10 syringes.

I thought the spores would be killed by the h2o2.

Well I'm working with food mushrooms.if it takes 5 mushrooms to make 5 syringes it's OK I'm more concerned with how contaminant free it is. I could inject one syringe into 5 times the water and fill 5 syringes but I only need one at a time. I'm just sharing ideas,if it isn't what you need for what you do just ignore it or adapt it.
