Obtaining Mushroom Spores

If you're one in ten Americans like me, and live in California, you can't order shroom spores online . However, I have heard of some more "natural" methods of obtaining spores from freshly picked mushrooms. Anybody have any experience, advice, etc on this topic (or on the shroom spore topic in general)?

Re: Obtaining Mushroom Spores

I've been wondering, if you're making cakes, can you use a part of a dried mushroom to germinate or whatever the jar? Like just drop a little piece of mushie in to it?

No, you need to inject mushroom spores into the cake with a syringe. It's the one step that makes growing shrooms a pain in the ass, considering both are hard to get (seriously, where can I go to get a syringe?)

Awesome-thanks for the help.

How would you get the spores from the aluminum "envelopes" to the syringe?

Re: Obtaining Mushroom Spores

here is a tek for making a syringe. it's the first i found but i've read a method i think would work better.

sterilize everything, fill a syringe with distilled water and wrap it in foil. pressure cook. in a sterile environment scrape some spores into a pre-sterilized shot glass, inject a little water into the shot, mix the spores and suck it back up. voila, a spore syringe.

Thanks for the advice. Does this come from experience or what you think would work?

it's just another tek i read from memory..it seems more effective because you don't have to use such a large volume of liquid and it would be easier to get back into the syringe without wasting spores.

in a few months i'll have my own place and will be able to put this knowledge to use lol. i'm gonna be alll over monotubs
