Hi there, A friend of a friend asked me recently about collecting spores from dried mushrooms. He has some tassie woodlovers left over from winter. He has recently taken an interest in researching mycology, but being a newbie hadn't taken any spore prints. knowing i have read a lot (but not enough me thinks) about the subject, he asked if i would look into it. I have done a pretty good search through this forum and others. about to give up, but thought i'd ask. Sounds feasbile to me, but how would you do it. scrape whatever possible from the gill areas. maybe pulverise the cap. what is the possilbe risk of infection from other biological matter present on the cap or gills. would there still be any spores present. Anyway, cheers. =)
