Spore printing

Wash your hands and work in a clean environment to perform the following steps:

take a clean material you want to print on (fresh typing paper, index cards, wax paper, tin foil, glass slides....)
cut an opened, clean, mature cap off the stem as near to the gills as possible with a clean scalpel or knife
place the cap on the printing material gills down
cover the cap with a jar or glass or place the printing material in a plastic container (Tupperware...) with lid on.
let sit for 12-24 hours at room temperature
pick up the cap, cover again and let the print dry for around 24 hours
when the print is dry fold the print and tape the edges or leave it as is and put into a clean plastic zip bag.
label and store in a dark, cold and dry place.
