=== Klemens Knopp AKA taro === Some notes on HOW TO (1) how to collect mushroom spores from spore prints - go mushroom hunting - take specimens approaching maturity - seperate the caps from the stems - place the caps – gills or pores facing down – preferably on a clean pane of glass - cover the caps with a cup or bowl to slow down dehydration - wait [at least 12 hours – depending on species and size of the mushrooms] - remove the caps - let the spore prints dry - scrape the spores into a pile - store in a sealable container for further use
