What are the advantages of spore prints?
There are several different ways to grow magic mushrooms, but beginning with spore prints offers some distinct advantages.
First off, spore prints offer unparalleled protection against contamination. Unlike liquid cultures, prints don’t contain living mycelium suspended in a liquid growing medium. When prepared under laboratory conditions, this means there’s no additional material that serves as food for potential contaminants.
Second, spore prints have a superior shelf life. You can keep them wrapped in their packaging for use years after making your purchase.
Finally, spore prints make better mycologists! If you’re looking to gain mastery over mushrooms, spore prints enable you to start the process from the very beginning. From here, you can make your own liquid culture, agar plates, and slants.
How to use magic mushroom spore prints
After receiving your package of spore prints, there are two main ways to proceed: syringes and agar plates. To make spore syringes, simply add the contents of your pack into a jar of sterilised water and suck up the water with a sterile syringe. You can use the spore syringe to inject substrate directly or to add spores to a sterilised sugar solution to grow out the mycelium in liquid culture. In contrast, you can skip making spore syringes altogether and drop spores directly onto agar to grow out the mycelium in Petri dishes.
FAQ: Your magic mushroom spore print questions answered
- 🧠Do magic mushroom spore prints contain psilocybin?
- No. Psilocybe mushrooms manufacture psilocybin later on in the growing process. You can look at spores like cannabis seeds, which contain no THC. However, once the mushroom develops, it gains the ability to start synthesising secondary metabolites, such as psilocybin, within the mycelium and fruiting body.
- 🍄 Can you take magic mushroom spore prints yourself?
- Yes! Making your own spore prints is an easy and rewarding process. Simply place a mature cap, gills-down, on a piece of foil (in a clean environment) and wait several hours for the spores to drop down and form a clean print.
- 🟣 What colours do magic mushroom spore prints have?
- Magic mushroom spores vary slightly in colour. Typically, they are purple-black in appearance.
- đź’Ż How long do magic mushroom spore prints stay good for?
- Magic mushroom spore prints will last years if stored in a dry, cool, and dark place.
- 🧹 How to handle spore prints?
- You need to handle magic mushroom spores with care to avoid contamination and spoiled liquid culture/agar plates. Ideally, you should work with spores in a clean environment using a still air box (SAB) or flow hood to minimise the threat of airborne microorganisms landing on your plates and in your jars. Mycologists typically use scalpels to transfer agar and inoculation loops as the tool of choice when moving spores onto a Petri dish.
You’re ready for lab work
There you have it! You know all about magic mushroom spores and the best place to buy them. Now, you’re ready to get to work in your lab. Whether you have a basic SAB setup or a sophisticated workspace fitted with a flow hood, you’re ready to start growing your own batches of mushrooms from spores to fruiting bodies. Prepare for an exciting and rewarding journey.
