At this point, you should notice that the water has become slightly discoloured and you may even be able to see some floating clusters of spores. Draw the spore water back into the syringe. Expunge half of the water from the syringe into the glass. Using the syringe needle, lightly scrape the spores from your spore print into a sterilised glass. Draw some of the cooled, sterilised water into the syringe body. Make sure that your syringe needle is sterile by holding it in a flame for a few seconds. To create a spore syringe you need to work in a sterilised environment and with distilled water that has been boiled 2 or 3 times to ensure that any bacteria has been eliminated. This can be done by creating a spore syringe, where the spores are re-hydrated using sterile water and then used to inoculate the growing medium. Cultivating sporesĪssuming that you have a spore print (after following the above instructions) you can use it to cultivate and grow your mushrooms. Keep the print in a sealed bag in a cool, dry, dark place until you are ready to cultivate. This is the spore print which can then be used to grow your own mushrooms. The spores will have fallen from the cap and you should see a print on the paper, which replicates the gill pattern from the mushroom. When you return, remove the glass and gently lift the mushroom. Place the mushroom with the gills face down onto the paper and pop a glass over the top. To take the spore print all you need is the top of the mushroom with the gills exposed on the underside. Carefully remove the stem from the mushroom and gently remove any skirt that may be present protecting the gills in the mushroom head. It is relatively easy to collect your own spores as all you need is a mushroom, some paper and glass. A mature mushroom is said to contain up to 16 billion spores and so this gives us plenty of opportunities to propagate our own. The spores are microscopic in size but contain the blueprint for new mushroom growth. To start growing your own mushrooms you need to get hold of some mushroom spores. Mushrooms are the fruit of a fungus (called Mycelium) that grows underground, within trees or in decaying logs and so you rarely know they are there until they fruit. Mushrooms are mysterious fungi and they always seem to appear in the most inconvenient of places such as the middle of the lawn ( How to Prevent Mushrooms Growing in your Lawn). Read on to find out how to do just that (but, magic isn't guaranteed). I am sure that when Alice woke from her reverie one of the first things she wondered was how to grow mushrooms. This mushroom isn't your standard button mushroom though as when Alice eats from one side she grows taller, and when she eats from the other side she shrinks. One of the most magical episodes of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' is the one where our heroine comes across a caterpillar sat on a mushroom.
