How to Make Mushroom Spore Prints
This video is about how to make spore prints from various types of mushrooms and what spore prints are used for. Spore prints are made by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. The spores fall in the pattern of the gills or pores of the mushroom and will vary in color depending on the type of mushroom. Each spore is a single cell that is capable of sending out a hypha that will develop into a group and form its own mycelium. Spore prints can assist with the identification of wild mushrooms as well as be used for mushroom cultivation.
For mushroom cultivation, the mushroom spores are added to sterile water and put into a syringe. The syringe should be tested on agar first to ensure that there is no contamination before using it on grain spawn. The agar can then be used to make a liquid culture or be added to grain spawn. Mushroom spores syringes are less reliable when added directly to grain spawn. So it could be better to use the spore syringe to grow the fungus out on an agar dish and add that to the grain spawn.
