so what you are saying is that you can not manage to pick afresh mushroom somewhere within the 4+ day time period when it is dropping spores and before it rots?
Stop beating around the bush and tell us what is really going on.
You have some dried mushrooms and you want to know how to get spores or grow some mushrooms from this dried one?
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Spores from a dried shroom will be viable, but they will also be contaminated. You can't clone a dried shroom because it's dry and the myc is dead. You can however clone a fresh one with some alcohol, a sterile syringe w/ distilled water, and a prepared LC jar. Sterilize the base of the stem w/ alcohol, puncture the stem with the sterilized needle, and shoot the resulting plug into a LC jar. Don't expect to buy a bag of shrooms off some street merchant and be able to grow your own tho, cuz it just doesn't work that way.
Peace.

"To have a agar plate start growth from a dried piece of mushroom means that a spore has germinated on it".
Not so. You can even take a piece of the inside of a dried stem and get it to grow again on agar. No way a spore could be on the inside of the stem where it's protected. Dried mycelium of many species can be hydrated and coaxed to grow again. You are correct though. . .A dried cap or stem is not sclerotia. Cubies don't form sclerotia. However, a dried cubie can be rehydrated and grown out again on agar. Try it. You'll see the growth coming in many directions from the piece of stem you place in the agar. You will have no doubt that you have 'cloned' that piece if you'll try it.
Taken directly from a post by sir rogerrabbit, you can clone a dried shroom on agar

Browse the main site and read the guides and teks there for crissakes.
You can't just turn up and ask what is this what is that and tell me how to do this, when it is all clearly explained on the main site.
We are here to help out each other with our doubts and questions, but you have to do some research of your own first, and the place to do that it at the top of your screen where it says mushroom info.
Don't get me wrong, if you have a genuine question people will answer you happily but you can't ask questions like that one.
If you posted and asked, hey, I'm not sure if I should use antibiotic in my agar, you will get answers and lots of help, but your question is equivalent to say, asking what is this rice thing and how do I make it?
It shows a total disrespect for the other members of this board, you are expecting them to do your job for you.

This grain culture jar has been dried out, and rehydrated, and regrown for over almost a year now. Mycelium doesn't die when it dries out, it just goes dormant. Just be sterile.

To help, for sure. But you have asked a question that can be found easily by just googling agar, or checking wikipedia or the shroomery glossary and grow section
Once you know what agar is, then you can come here and say, well I've read a bit about agar and I don't understand this this this and this and someone will happily explain it to you.
But you have to read the site a bit before you post, you cant just walk in saying I want to grow shrooms tell me how.
That is the reason this website exists, to teach you how to grow. And these forums exist to help you resolve any doubts concerning the information on the site or stuff that isn't even on the site.
In fact, even the forum rules tells you that you have to read up bit before posting.

Uh, maybe you should take a hint. We are here to help each other out, but I don't come here to retype everything already out there, on demand, for someone who can't even bother to punctuate his sentences. I have trouble getting spore prints too, but you know what I did? I read.. Oh, the horror. Make a LC clone, next time around. Get some agar and start cloning that way.

Go to the search engine and search REHYDRATE DRIED MYCELIUM and Lo and Behold!!

rehydrate = add water. As simple as that.
Then you would have to do a series of lab procedures involving agar to grow mycelium from the tissue sample and use that to inoculate your substrate and grow mushrooms from that. From those mushrooms you can make as many spore prints as you want.
