If you do not hydrate spores in water first, it will take a LONG time to see any germination. Go to any feed & seed store. They have syringes for like $1.50. Worst case, use a sterilized glass eye dropper, or glass pipette.

Has anyone tried just cutting a wedge out of the print and throwing it into the jar? Other than that just use an inoculation loop(or flame sterilized wire)to scrape some spores off into the jar. You can get small (1CC)insulin syringes at the drug store for cheap...and spores fit thru the needle. It's a one shot deal but it's a cheap sterile syringe.

im quite sure he just said like $1.50
the $ sign represent american currency in dollars. the .50 represents a fraction of a whole.
$1.50 = one dollar and 50 cents

I'm quite sure he was asking in the context of:
For what purpose or practical application are the feed and seed stores selling syringes?

some of the better myco supply sites sell empty syringes. There are some medical supply sites you could order from but they tend to be picky about mailing syringes to certain states. As far as I've seen myco supply sites don't have restrictions on empty syringes. Also, they tend to sell them in smaller and more usable quantities.

So the animals can shoot up drugs (joke)
Cattle, horses, donkeys, dogs, fowl & such often need a IV shot of one thing or another.
WAY BACK WHEN: First syringe I got was from a drug store. I simply told the guy, I wanted a big one, with a long needle to OIL moving gears & clock parts in my clock collection LOL.......

Hehe, I get mine from the Wal-Mart drug store. I just tell them I'm using them to squirt glue under the veneer of furniture when it's peeling away from the wood, which I actually do because I refinish antiques but some of em get used for my myco hobby.

i was thinking about this a while ago, and i was thinking maybe you could prepare some spores by hydrating them using the syringe making tek. but instead of sucking up the spores into a syringe, just opeining the jar for a second and tossing the liquid in and then closing the lid. id imageine this would be a big no-no contam wise. so maybe if one did it in a glovebox? all in all though i would say that just finding a syringe would be the way to go. dont know if you can see the marketplace yet but if you can i had a post in there the other day, where i was looking for people that have done the bulk syring buy and have like 100 syringes sitting around their house. a few people responded. if you cant see that forum just pm me and i may be able to hook you up.

i said i got them for my father's horses. when asked what he planned to use them for, i said antibiotics of some sort. those horses have needed antibiotics a few times. EDIT - sander, the only way i would go about that would be with a glove box/flow hood.

that may work....hmmmm... just put a drop of sterile water on your print and swirl it around with a sterile wire than dump it into the jar! would only work on wax paper or foil though. But do it quick! and use a glove box so the contam risk is lower. Peterthinks
