Growing mushrooms from spores is a valuable skill for cultivators that are looking for more genetic diversity in their culture libraries. When growing from spores you can isolate your own strains and fine tune cultures to suit your cultivation methods and goals. You can select for traits like growth rate, yield, tolerance to environmental conditions, appearance and more. You can buy spore swabs, prints or syringes online or you can collect spores from wild or cultivated mushrooms. Follow along for detailed steps and tips.
