Growing Question

Hello, first off i will start out by introducing myself. I a new to mushrooms and would like to try growing my own. I have been searching around for different ways of going about it. I have noticed that they all involve a syringe. Is there a tek that does not use syringes? I am not exactly a drug user or a medical patient so i do not have access to them but I already have prints. I realize i can buy some spore syringes, but i do not want to waste these prints either. So if there is a way of going about this without syringes I would really like to know, Thanks

Welcome to the Shroomery. Unless you have a very sterile, still environment like a flow hood or glove box, inoculating by scraping spores off of a print onto a substrate would be very risky, given the possibility of contamination.
You don't have to be a diabetic or hard drug addict to posess and use syringes. Read the grow faqs and teks posted to this site and educate yourself about easy ways to get started.

go to your local feed store such as Tractor Supply in US. They sell individual syringes. they are about a dollar a piece there, but one could last you forever if you reuse it over and over.
good luck, -SN

I think many of the vendors (Ralph, for example) here will sell sterile syringes in small quantities.
