ROTTEN SHROOMS!
    #7718470 - 12/05/07 04:41 AM (16 years, 1 month ago)

Hey everybody i need some help...I've been trying to make a spore print the way I've seen on youtube and here and it just doesnt seem to be working. Everytime I get a cap and try to print it, it molds before there's even a print on the paper. I read it needs to be sterile so I cut the cap off, put it on a piece of sterilized paper, covered with aluminum foil and placed in a glass jar. Then I open the foil to see a beautiful print, and the gills of the cap are all covered in white mold. Please throw me some input on making prints. ;p

You need to let humidity escape from the cap so it dries, the moisture is causing the cap to rot.

Having the edge of the jar propped up a little can help, also a little bit of silica gell can help absorb moisture.

You dont need to cover the cap in foil. This is probably where your problem as this will be stopping moisture escaping.

Also, if you have any of those little bags of dissecant, pop one of them in with the caps.

If I just let the cap sit on paper in open air it will get contaminated wont it? I guess it will take some planning before I can get a spore print right, I cant sacrifice any more caps right now haha

If you are really worried about sterility, do it in your glove box, and to be double sure, after about 4 hours into spore dropping, transfer the cap to a 2nd peice of paper/foil. If there were any contam spores they should have been dropped by now.
