Same as spawning, but quicker. Add grain spawn to bulk sub, mix thoroughly, and put in a dark, warm area until colonized before fruiting conditions are introduced. Sterile environment goes without saying.
can i spawn from dried shrooms spore prints or should i get a fresh cut one?
not a tight ass tho just living in Iran n aint no amazon delivery to this country

You would need to spawn to something really cheap first to isolate some mycelium from some contamination that has undoubtably landed on the dry caps by now. I would recommend mixing the cap in a small amount of clean water and germinating the spore solution on either potato dextrose agar (or any other kind of dextrose agar) or to a thick stack of damp cardboard in a well draining container. Many people use pails and drill holes in the bottom. Let the spores take over the cardboard for a few weeks then transfer to a few popcorn jar or bird seed jar. Let the mycelium colonize as much as it can and make another transfer to more grain jars.

Ebay will likely ship to you since they are individuals just looking for some cash.

Get s spore print, don't bother growing it out but it will help you identify it. If it is a psilocybe or edible you'll know where and when to find it later. But it doesn't look very familiar to me, I would let it be.

Nevet seen those kind before you should get a book of wild mushrooms for your region
Probably would be a good idea. I don't think I'll ever pick any mushrooms except morels and, if I can find it, Chicken of the Woods. I'm likely to kill myself with the not so easily distinguished ones. Mostly, I'll probably just grow from spore syringes. I'm also growing oyster mushrooms. I plan to stick to cubes and edibles. Are truffles hard to grow, I wonder?
