Mushroom spore prints on paper

Mushroom spores collected on paper is probably the most common and simple method for collecting a spore print. But its not necessarily the best method, as paper is not a very sturdy medium for protection, its sensitive to moisture and delicate to the touch, absorbing oils and any possible contaminates in the air when its exposed.

mushroom spore print on foil

Collecting spores on aluminum foil.

Collecting spore prints on aluminum foil is another popular and simple method for printing. Foil is readily available like paper, but it has more resistance to the environment, as it can protect from small temperature changes, moisture, and its easy to create a folded seal for storage or shipping.

Petri plate spore print.

The best method for collection and storage of mushroom spores, is to use a petri plate. They are durable and provide a sturdy environment to protect the spores against possible contamination. And they are clear so you can easily see the spores.

Storing spores in a vial to create a syringe.

You can also store mushroom spores in an inoculation vial. After the spores have dropped from a mushroom cap you can move them into the vial for ultimate protection and ease of use. Simply inject water into the vial using a syringe, and mix the spores with the liquid. Then re-fill the syringe with the mixture and you have a spore syringe ready to go. Or you can store your vials containing spores for future use.
