Spore Prints -- spores won't fall out
    #9669984 - 01/24/09 08:43 AM (15 years, 1 month ago)

I've been having some problems trying to get some prints from B+ caps. 

I've picked a few nice caps, however, I think the problem may be the caps were too moist when I picked them.  I've had them sitting for about 14-15 hours under a glass and almost no spores have fallen out.  Is it pretty much a lost cause in trying to get spores out of these caps at this point, or will they eventually fall out if I leave them under the glass for another day or two?

Is it generally accepted that if the caps are too moist, they'll never drop any spores?  In the chamber, they seemed to be ripping apart as they got bigger and none of them dropped spores.

Thanks.

When did you pick tha cap??

Could you see spores dropping already??

Also make sure you are allowing it to breath, you cant seal it up in the glass, it will just get all moist and rott.

You need a little part of the glass able to exchange air so humidity doesnt build up in the glass.

They did not start dropping spores yet (when I picked them), it seemed like they were just ready to.

I do keep a small gap in the glass to allow air to get in there.  I've made successful prints before, however, these B+ one's keep giving me problems.

If they haven't started releasing spores in the first 16 hours, is it a lost cause ?

It may have been picked a little too early.

also it may be sterile fruit

I fold up paper towel and slide a piece up under it to draw the moisture out, otherwise it gets all funky nasty.

Or, I do it in a big tub with a lid and just lay a few sheets of paper towel over top of all the caps.  I usually let them sit for 24 hours too.

If I forget the paper towel, the prints will be all wet and mushy.

Wait until you see spores on the stipes before you pick.  By the way, the spores don't 'drop' off, they're ejected with a velocity that would send the space shuttle into orbit.

That explains why they make perfect finger print like prints.  I was wondering about that.  If it was a gravity thing it would be much more messy.
