I try printing my first flush cubes and I cant get spores its pissing me off. I clean and wipe withalchol and place cap and put it in a jar for still air and use a tyvek filter so that way some mosture gets out as the cap drys a little so it doesnt wrot. No spores anywere grr. And parts of the cap turn blackish.

Wait until it's actively dropping spores before you pick. Just print onto foil. You can lay a sheet of tyvek or even a freshly laundered t-shirt over the cap as it prints.

ok
problem #1 - you are making this way too complicated.
Problem #2 - cleaning what with alcohol???

if the gills are very very light in color most of the time you will have a dud mushroom and you won't get very many if any spores from that cap. look for a cap with a very dark veil, they usually print the best.

*NOTE: if a sterlite/rubbermaid container can not be used, a drinking glass can be placed over each cap/print to retain moisture.

to print a cap just simply wipe down a sterlite/rubbermaid container of some sort with alcohol and allow to dry.
-use a brand new out of the package piece of typing paper and place in the sterlite/rubbermaid container.

-next wipe down your pair of scissors with alcohol.
-then, sanitize your hands and put on rubber gloves or latex gloves.
-after that, spray your gloves with 71%-91% alcohol and allow to dry.

-Pick up you scissors and snip the mushroom off the casing or cake.
-snip the cap off and place it on the new piece of paper.

-again if no container is available drinking glasses can be used to cover the caps/prints. avoid touching the gills at all cost.
