Evil Genius Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Hi 7baz, sporeprints of edible mushrooms can be used to grow them on nutrient containing solutions in petry dishes. But this is only allowed for non-psilocybine containing mushrooms like oyster mushrooms and all that delicate stuff. Most psilocybe sporeprints are only legal for microscopy purposes and for nothing else. Otherwise you would break the law which would lead to sweet sweet gang rape in an unheated prison shower. Check out our mycology forum...there you´ll find all the info about growing edible mushrooms that you need to get started. bye Eg Edited January 1, 2011 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MissBanshee Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) hi just wondering about spore prints. do you ughh.. eat them or ? sorry just kinda new into the mushroom stuff and i have no clue. im a bonsai artist no a shroom artist lol A spore print is like the reproductive bits of a mushroom. It is commonly used to identify the type of mushrooms or to grow new mushrooms. Don't eat them. Look at them under a microscope, study them, trade them or if you're clever (and it's not illegal) grow them. Edited January 2, 2011 by MissBanshee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hyphal Posted January 2, 2011 Think of the spores as really really tiny mushrooms seeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
