Mckennaii mushroom spores print - McSmart

McKennaii mushroom spore prints are carefully collected concentrations of microscopic spores taken from mature specimens of this renowned variety. Highly valued by cultivators and mycology enthusiasts, these prints are appreciated for their purity, high yield potential, and usefulness in both scientific research and fungal propagation.

Each print serves as a genetic blueprint, providing the ideal starting point for cultivating new fungi or studying their diversity. Containing millions of viable spores harvested at peak maturity, these prints preserve the genetic integrity of the parent mushroom, enabling stable and consistent cultures.

Free from preservatives and chemical additives, this is a completely natural product that faithfully represents a key stage in the fungal life cycle. Stored under sterile conditions to maintain viability, spore prints retain their quality even after long periods. With proper storage, they can remain viable for several years, making them a reliable resource for any mycological collection or project.

How to Use a Spore Print

There are several methods for using a spore print. Two of the most common and effective are:

Creating a Spore Syringe for Inoculation

A widely used method involves suspending part of the spore print in sterile distilled water to prepare a spore syringe. This allows for easy inoculation of sterilized substrates, typically grain-based.

Germination on Agar Prior to Inoculation

This technique involves transferring spores onto a Petri dish with nutrient agar, where they germinate and form mycelium. Healthy growth can then be isolated and replicated on new plates, ensuring a clean and vigorous culture. Once the mycelium has developed sufficiently, it is transferred to the final substrate to initiate fruiting.
