Gotcha, thanks Lrus007. :)

....but can a dried cap that's been frozen still be used for spores? I ask because I usually get 7 gm at a time and do 1 gm to test. So I'd like to know that if I test and find them to be especially good, can I save a cap from the remaining to use for a grow?...or would the drying or freezing render them inert?

Just guessing, but wouldn't it matter first off, whether the veil remained intact during the drying & freezing?
Possible viable spores if intact veil...not so much if it opened at any time?

So I ate the picked shrooms pictured above, plus another 2 small handfuls (one with the pictured amount, and one a few hours later)...and it turned out to be enjoyable, but not as intense as I was hoping. I need a scale so I can measure the doses, going forward.

The cakes turned very blue from all the fruit picking. So now they're being dunked again, in preparation for the next flush.
I rinsed them off and submerged them into separate jars of spring water, with a ball of aluminum foil at the top to hold them under as the lids are closed. :volcano:

maybe but not many. they kind of drop all there spores at the same time.
i am sure it is not to hard to buy a spore print.
drying or freezing would not kill the spores i don't think.
but you can try. take a cap and spray lightly with water.
then same, put onto a clean piece of paper gills down and set a glass over
it overnight. you might get a light print from it. is worth a try.

sorry to hijack your thread ripper i wish you a large harvest.

Thanks guys :) ...tells me it's probably worth trying if I run across some that are particularly good.

Ripper, have you done, or are you planning on doing, a hero's dose? ...just curious.

Seems patience and meticulousness are key ingredients to growing them. :p

Ben I've never seen that before. I'll have to have a look.
Lrus you're not highjacking, you're contributing.
Bob I do intend to try a heroic dose.
I've been close to that before but it was maybe 20 years ago. Scored an eighth or so at the Further Fest parking lot. Started tripping balls just before I got to the entrance gates. Soon as I got in I made a right turn towards the concessions, where I managed to purchase a big tall beer, and then found a nice little table to sit at. So all I could manage to do was to sit there for about 2 hours or so, just watching all the concert goers pouring in through the gates.

Since I still have 1.5 syringes, I haven't addressed that yet. I plan to start making prints on the next go around.
