Agar, how on earth are you getting such heavy spore depositers!?
Have you been selecting heavier spore depositors and then cloning them? Or are you just simply a better printer!? lol
The few prints that I have made, even after 24 hours were many shades lighter than yours.

i think it is a matter of picking the right cap to print. also different mushrooms have heavier spore deposits

I recently left 4 B+ caps to print inside a tupperware for probably 48+ hours. Yeah, definately not as dark as agar's but still pretty good.

Mature P. Cubensis spores are ejected from gills via the force created by a "Buller?s drop".
Which is explained in detail RIGHT HERE:

All else being optimal, there must be adequate moisture in/around the gill?s for a "Buller?s drop" to form.

As caps mature, hours before severing them for printing purposes.
I raise the Rh in the fruiting chamber to very near 100%.
Which effectively saturates the individual cap/gills with moisture.
In order to effectuate heavy spore discharge.

And another little trade secret slips out :smile:
When do you think is the ideal time to take a print?  How long after the veil breaks?

That is a judgment call.

The larger the circumference of the cap, the more gills are exposed.

If to have extremely aseptic growing conditions (hepa filtered FAE).
Let the veil tear away, then print.

How are the gills exposed to the high humidity if the veil is still attached, such as in your tek for printmaking? Or does the moisture somehow make it through the veil?

Mushroom fruit-body stems have no protective skin.

Mushroom fruit-body cells exchange gases directly with the surrounding atmosphere. Consequently, as mushroom fruit-bodies begin to expand in size, they require very high ambient humidity in their immediate environment, in order to grow to optimal fruit-body size.

Raising the Rh higher at the last growth stage, gives them the the moisture to get the job done. Without the veil tearing completely away.

That small jar may be a very good idea. If you sterilized a jar of water you could take the cap off and put a shroom cap on straight away. The inner bit of the shroom should have cleaner spores since you are not handling it at that point, and any airborne contams that did get under would be closer to the edge. The water in the jar should give the humidity that agar mentioned so the spores should fall down nicely. Then take off the shroom cap and put on the lid. This could be done in a split second. I had to fiddle around with a tweezers trying to get caps in and out of jars before. This could suit people with no flow hoods etc, just work quickly.

So you don't subscribe to the philosophy that using a desiccant in your spore-printing helps to effectuate more spores dropping?  I've always gotten pretty heavy spore deposits and, as we all know, one THICK print from a nice large cap is about all you need to keep things going :smile:

What are you putting those prints onto agar? Aluminum foil with plastic wrap autoclaved around to create spore condom packaging?

When my friend makes prints, he uses a syringe to put a drop of sterile water on top of each cap, just enough to where it doesnt run off. Works very well for him.
