The method for making a spore print is as follows. A mushroom with its cap fully opened and its gills exposed is selected. With a sharp, sterilized blade the stem is cut off as close to the gills as possible. The cap is place gills down on a clean, white sheet of paper; on a sheet of glass that has just been swabbed with alcohol; or on two or four sterilized microscopic slide glasses. The cap is covered with a clean, inverted bowl or bell jar for 24 hours to prevent drying of the cap and introduction of foreign organisms. If a good spore print has not formed after this time, the cap is tapped lightly with the flat side of a knife or spatula. This should shake loose many spores. If the print is made on glass, it is covered with another glass sheet immediately after removing the cap in order to prevent contamination. If microscopic slides are used, two slides are placed face to face and the edges are sealed with tape. If paper is used, it is folded several times so that the print is well inside.

Customer Reviews

DON'T BUY THIS BOOK
This book is useless. The book contains information that only a scientist would use, but the book is written so poorly that one wouldn't use it. The book contains about 3 pages of information on growing mushrooms, the rest of the book is talking about setting up like a 1000sq.ft. lab and extracting psilocybin to make acid, with chemicals that you can't even get!

Just so we are clear, THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN MUSHROOM GROWING INFORMATION.

M's review
very informative book, but no real information on how to find supplies. This is a very techinical book which reads fluently with step by step instructions. I highly recomend although you may need other references to compete your project.

BEGINNER BASICS
This book is good for anyone who has interest in the topic but is not familiar with it. Pretty Short, but in general a good book. Very interesting although you may need more sources to start on growing mushrooms.
