Cabinets, closets, or drawers are great spots to store your spores.
Mushroom spore syringe shelf life windows#
It is recommended to keep them away from exterior walls or windows where fluctuations in temperature are greater.įrom there, you can place your sealed container in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. Once you find your ideal room, you’ll want to consider where in the room to store your spores. Rooms that have doors leading to the outdoors are more likely to vary in temperature and may be more prone to contaminants. Remember that in nature, these mushrooms grow in temperatures as high as 115 degrees, so do not worry if they get too hot, but try to avoid it. We recommend keeping your spores between 36 and 75 degrees. If temperatures get too hot or too cold, it may damage the spores and prevent them from being viable for research. It is best to keep your spores in a room that does not vary widely in temperature. You may also choose to place a desiccant packet in the container to absorb any moisture that may be present in the container. Make sure the container is clean before putting your spores inside. Some recommended containers include: vacuum sealed bags, mason jars, or airtight kitchen containers. Keeping your spores in a sealed container protects them from oxygen, moister, and contamination. To get the longest lifespan out of your spores, seal your spores in an airtight container to expand shelf life. Since Inoculate The World spores are packaged in a sterile environment, leaving the packaging closed until they are ready to be used is a good way to ensure the spores stay contamination free. The shelf life of the spore syringe is at least 12 months after they leave our warehouse.Once you get your spores, it is recommended to keep your spores sealed in their original packaging until you are ready to use them. The Albino A+ spore syringe should be stored refrigerated in a temperature between 2☌ – 8☌ or 35☏ – 46☏. The best magnification for Psilocybe cubensis and Panaeolus cyanescens spore research is a magnification of 1000x or higher. Cover the specimen with a microscope covering glass. After having prepared your microscope slide, drop some of the Albino A+ spore solution on it. Many of our customers are scientists or enthusiasts, doing research on these differences in a homemade laboratory. The differences in phenotype can be seen with the naked eye, but the true beauty lies under the microscope. The Albino A+ is a strain of Psilocybe cubensis. These different cubensis are not considered subspecies, but different strains. There are numerous Psilocybe cubensis that have different phenotypes. But they do differ slightly in appearance and fruiting speed (phenotype). Seen from a scientific point of view all Psilocybe cubensis are alike. Study spores and research using a microscope After the Albino A+ spore solution is injected, remove the syringe and close the injection port with the port protection cap. Now drop the spore solution evenly over the substrate inside the spawn bag or grow box. Use a alco prep to sterilize the injection port entry. Open the injection port by pulling back the port protection cap. This is almost identical as dropping the spore solution onto the substrate. One 20cc spore syringe can easily colonize 6 liters / 13 pints of substrate. How many cakes can you make with spore syringe? Every drop that will be in contact with the substrate will be a potential mycelium growth point, so spread out these drops all over the substrate to evenly colonize the substrate with mycelium. Press the plunger slowly so that drops of spore solution will come out of the needle. To proceed from here, there are several methods to choose from: Dropping the spore solution onto the substrateĪfter having prepared your own substrate or cakes you can drop the Albino A+ spore solution directly from the syringe onto these. Shake the spore syringe vigorously for ten seconds before you remove the protective cap from the needle. Take the needle out of the sterile package and screw it on the Albino A+ spore syringe.
Remove the luer lock stopper by screwing it counter-clockwise. Hold the Albino A+ spore syringe in front of you with the luer lock stopper pointing upwards. Wear a face mask and sterile gloves and/or disinfect your hands. Make sure to work as hygienic as possible. With this luer lock stopper attached makes it easier to transport and to store the Albino A+ spore syringe. The Albino A+ spore solution is held inside the syringe by a luer lock stopper on the end where the needle goes.
