Mexican mushroom spores print - McSmart

Mexico spore prints are carefully collected samples of microscopic spores obtained from healthy, mature mushrooms of this emblematic species. Recognized for their unique genetic heritage and high potential, these prints are especially valued by experienced growers and mycology enthusiasts alike. Thanks to their high spore concentration, purity and reliability, they have become an essential tool for controlled fungal breeding and scientific research.

Each print acts as a complete genetic map, providing the ideal starting point for the development of new cultures or the analysis of fungal biodiversity. They contain millions of viable spores, collected at the exact moment when the fungus reaches maturity. This ensures that the genetic characteristics of the parent mushroom are kept intact, which is key to achieving consistent and well-defined cultures of the Mexico variety.

These prints are completely natural: they contain no chemicals, preservatives or additives of any kind. They authentically represent a crucial phase of the mushroom's life cycle. In addition, they are handled and stored under sterile conditions, which preserves their integrity and viability over time. If properly preserved, they can remain in good condition for years, making them a reliable choice for both collectors and mycological studies.

How to use spore prints

Prints can be used in different ways depending on the user's purpose and level of experience. Two common and effective methods are explained below:

Preparing a spore syringe.

This home procedure consists of scraping a small portion of spores from the print and mixing them with sterile distilled water in a syringe. In this way, a suspension is obtained that allows easy inoculation of the substrate, which is commonly based on grains such as rye or brown rice.

Germination on agar plates

Those who prefer greater precision and control can choose to grow the spores in a Petri dish with agar medium. There they begin to germinate and form mycelium. Subsequently, the most vigorous and healthy fragments are selected for transplanting to new plates, which allows a clean and contamination-free culture. Once the mycelium is well developed, it is carefully transferred to the final substrate to initiate the fruiting phase.
