Yes, certainly. A spore print is taken immediately after returning home. You take the mushroom out of its breathable container after returning from the field. The stem is cut off from the cap. The cap is placed onto regular tin foil sold at grocery stores - with the gills of the cap facing down. A drinking glass can be placed upside-down (ontop of the cap) to prevent breezes or other particles getting into the print.

This process is usually done for 12-24 hours. If anyone has any questions feel comfortable asking.

Thanks Emma,Pochempie and J for your nice comments :)

You'll want to start spore printing mushrooms on tinfoil for even better identification traits.
