You will find several methods to grow mushrooms in your
indoor area. Many people start cultivating mushrooms using a spore syringe and
through a liquid culture. Before you start using a spore syringe, you must
first prepare them for use. The blue cap has to be removed before installing
the needle into the syringe. Don’t cut the tip of the mushroom spore
syringe. You have to simply twist the blue cap to the left. Twist the
needle to the right onto the syringe assembly. Always remember to wear gloves
before you start the process and sterilize the needles after installation.
Use of mushroom spore
syringe
Spore syringes are a medium used which contain the spores
from any kind of mushroom strain. One syringe will contain millions of quality
spores, which will be floating in a sterile solution. If you are interested in
cultivating mushrooms, you can buy mushroom cultures through online. Earth’s
Tongue is a website that specializes in mushroom spores, grow kits, sterilized
substrates and lots more. The spore syringe is used to inoculate substrate with
a mushroom strain of choice. You have to use a syringe to start the cultivating
process. The syringe is also used to drop spores and water mixture onto the
slides for microscopy research. Through a microscope, you can have a look at
size, shape and color of the spores.
Growing mushroom
spores with a syringe
If you want to reproduce spores, you have to fruit some
mushrooms from the chosen spores. This process can be done by inoculating a
substrate. Edible and medicinal mushroom strains need a different substrate to
grow. Using the syringe you need to drop 3 milliliters of spore solution to
colonize 1 liter of the substrate. After a few days, you can see white patches
of mycelium growing in places where spores were dropped. Wait till the whole
substrate is colonized by mushrooms before you start the fruiting process.
