Draw the sterilized water into a syringe, then place a few drops onto the spore print and mix the spores into the remaining water in the syringe (Figure 3). While doing this, open the container with the spore print as little as possible to avoid introducing unwanted microorganisms. Spores should be collected only from areas of the print where the cap did not touch the surface, minimizing the risk of transferring potential microbes from the cap. The lowest contamination risk is from spores collected in the center of the print.<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6871\" src=\"https:\/\/goba.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-10.17.03-300x207.png\" alt=\"Injeciranje sterilne vode na odtis spor v bli\u017eini alkoholnega gorilnika\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goba.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-10.17.03-300x207.png 300w, https:\/\/goba.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-10.17.03-287x198.png 287w, https:\/\/goba.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot-2026-01-27-at-10.17.03.png 501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>In this way, a syringe with a spore suspension is obtained, which can then be used to inoculate sterile substrates and grow mycelium for mushroom cultivation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to try your hand at mushroom cultivation, preparing a spore suspension is one of the fundamental procedures.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we present the method for preparing spore inoculations used in mushroom cultivation.
