🧬 What Are Spore Syringes and Spore Prints?

Spore Syringes are sterile solutions containing suspended mushroom spores in distilled water, housed in a sealed syringe. They allow for easy and controlled microscopic examination of individual spores.

Magic Mushroom Spore Syringes

Spore Prints are created by placing a mature mushroom cap on foil or paper, allowing millions of spores to fall and form a visible spore deposit. These prints serve as an archival and long-lasting method to store and examine spores.
