Well, you can always buy some sterile agar and toss the spores on that. Then once you have some growth cut off a chunk of it, and toss it into whatever jar you want colonized.

do some reading get your sterile technique down then move on to prints.

go to ralphstersspores.com and order a syringe. get one free as the strain of the month.
mess with prints once you get more experienced.

yes. one can, inside a sterile glovebox or in front of a flowhood, remove the lid from jars** or open bags, agar petris, etc. and scrape spores off the print directly onto the substrate.
** note: the vermiculite layer makes pf style jars almost impossible to manage, unfortunately.

ok, i'm going to just order a syringe with spores
the site i was going to get from will send you a print for free, but it will probably be too complicated for my first grow
thanks for the link, monstermitch

of course.
when you buy a syringe from ralph, mention in the comments on the order form that you are from the shroomery and want a free syringe of the strain of the month.
You'll get two for one. One you buy and one of the strain of the month for free He hooks it up for sure. Fast, discrete, viable...

Lots of  ... right on man!
I remember a unique Tek where the author dropped a spore print into some sterile water, then mixed it into his BRF recipe, then placed into normal 1/2 pint PFjars and inncubated. Apprently it was to help distribute the spores more evenly and help speed up colonization without the need for a syringe. He said it worked out, so give it a shot if you have the patience.

How would you sterilize the BRF/verm mixture after you add the spores in?

Just starting out, for sure, go with a vendor syringe.
Without experience, you can turn a clean print, into a dirty one, quicker that a sneeze.
