	Spore print - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The spore print of a mushroom is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms.
		A spore print is made by placing the spore-producing surface flat on a sheet of dark and white (or just white) paper.
		Mycologists are reluctant to identify any mushroom from its spore print alone, although the spore print is one characteristic used in determination.

	A Double Helix Experiment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Spore prints can be made by simply leaving a mushroom gills-down on a piece of paper for several hours.
		In mushrooms, spores are released from the gills that form on the undersurface of the mushroom cap.
		Spores are so tiny they're difficult to see with the unaided eye, though if you take a mushroom into a dark room and shine a torch on it you can often see the falling spores reflecting the light.

	Spore prints
		Spore prints, pale coloured spores on a dark background (left) or darker spores on a light background (right).
		What you see in a spore print, such as the one pictured, is a mass of hundreds of thousands or millions of spores.
		The commonest spore colours are white and various shades of brown.

	FungiBank - Data sheets
		A spore print can be made by placing a mushroom cap which is mature but not too old, with the stem removed and the spore-bearing gills facing down, onto white paper.
		Spore print colour should be noted as soon as possible as they may change colour on drying, and may change further after lengthy periods of storage.
		Spore prints can be made from many types of fungi such as mushrooms, brackets, corals and clubs.

	Using a Microscope: Viewing and Measuring Spores (MushroomExpert.Com)
		If you can't get a spore print out of your mushroom, you may still be able to see spores by taking a single gill and mounting it in a Melzer's "crush mount" (press on the cover slip with a pencil eraser, gently crushing and stretching out the gill).
		The spores of Inocybe and Entoloma are notorious for their funky shapes, and a quick peek at these spores can often separate the mushrooms from thousands of other LBM's (Little Brown Mushrooms).
		Measure spores with the ruler in your eyepiece, and convert the values to microns using the conversion multiplier you established when you calibrated your microscope.

	The Spore Works - Spore Prints
		Spore prints are collections of spores taken on a sterile medium under sterile conditions.
		The spores are collected by placing a mature mushroom cap on the medium and allowing the cap to release spores.
		To properly view your spores under a microscope place a small amount of dried spores into a small amount of water and then place a small drop of the resulting solution on a glass slide and cover with a glass cover slip.

		A spore print of a mushroom is made by placing its spore-producing surface flat on a sheet of fl or white paper, and placing a weight on top of the mushroom.
		One rule of thumb for determining if a mushroom is poisonous is if the spore print is green.
		While not every poisonous mushroom has a green spore print (in fact, most don't), about 99.5% of mushrooms with green spore prints are poisonous.

		A spore print is typically viable for about a year if it is stored in a cool, dark location.

	Making Spore Prints (MushroomExpert.Com)
		The spores of a mushroom are enormously important in the process of identification.
		Microscopic details--like the size of the spores, their shape, whether they are smooth or ornamented (and so on)--are frequently definitive characteristics that help mycologists decide what species a mushroom is. Although amateur mushroomers don't usually have high-powered microscopes at their disposal, a mushroom's spores are still useful in the identification process because of their colors.
		But distinguishing a white spore print from a brown one is easy enough, and it may help you enormously in identifying a mushroom.

		If your spore print is contaminated or you introduce contamination into the spore syringe, you will have difficulty later in the process.
		When it is cool, carefully open the spore print and scrape a fleck of spores into the shot glass.
		If the spores in the print have been dried and are not fresh, it is best to wait six hours to use the spore syringe.

	Spore Printing Mushrooms (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Obtaining a spore print is one of the most essential steps you can take in the process of identifying a particular mushroom.
		Older specimens will have already dropped their spores, while young mushrooms may still have a veil covering the gills or the pore surface of a bolete may be covered as well.
		Some also choose to use a different colour of paper other than white due to some spores being white, but you should be able to see a white spore print on white paper, and I think that using white paper, due to the neutral field, will give me a more accurate print.

		Mushroom guide books will list the spore color for the mushroom in question, and to be sure that you have the right species always take a spore print as part of your identification procedure (at least until you are positive of identification for the mushroom in question).
		Spore color remains fairly constant for each mushroom species and is not as affected by environmental changes as other mushroom features often are.
		To take a spore print, cut off the mushroom stem (stipe) and place the mushroom with the gills down on a piece of plain white paper.

		There should be faint lines where the spores have dropped from the mushrooms.
		Spore color is variant depending on species, and is an excellent method for telling apart species that look similar.
		It is not a recommended form of identification, though, because it is very hard to do in the field, and sometimes mushrooms don’t give up spores, so it may not work.
