The same way you cultivate most mushrooms. You get spawn or spores. Usually, you can inoculate mason jars filled with wild bird seed or rye seeds. The jars must be sanitized with a pressure cooker. Then you inoculate when they cool. The mycelium will begin to grow in the jars. When the jars are fully colonized, you want to spawn it to straw or horse poo. Horse poo is your best bet for portobello. You can use compost also. Or you can use a mix of horse poo, vermiculite and coco coir. You have many options. Then you must induce fruiting conditions by dropping temperature and introducing a light source to trigger fruiting. Then maintain the humidity. The shroomery is a great online forum to answer many questions .

What events occurs first in the development of a spore into a mature mushroom?

After a spore germinates, it forms mycelium, which is a network of branching hyphae that absorb nutrients. The mycelium then develops into a primordium, which eventually grows into a mature mushroom.


What does each mushroom need in order for it to produce a new mushroom?

To produce a new mushroom, a mushroom spore needs a suitable growing surface (such as soil or wood), moisture, air, and the right temperature conditions. Once the spore finds a suitable environment, it germinates and develops into mycelium, which then forms a mushroom when conditions are ideal.


How many chromosomes are in a shiitake mushroom cell?

There is one set of chromosomes in a shiitake mushroom cell. All of these chromosomes are located within the nucleus of the spore cell of the mushroom.


Where are mushrooms spores produced?

The spores are produced inside the cap on the surfaces of the structures called the gills as the mushroom grows. When the mushroom fully matures, the canopy opens and a little piece of the mushroom underneath the cap called the veil tears. This exposes the gills that by then are fully covered with spores, which can now fall out and propagate more mushrooms.The way people collect the spores are they take the cap off right when the veil breaks and press the cap against aluminum foil or plastic wrap to allow the spores to collect into a "spore print."


What is better to use a spore syringe or spore print?

That depends on what you intend to do with it. If your goal is long term storage then a print is a better choice. Once spores are hydrated in water and suspended in a spore syringe liquid they last about 6-12 months, versus up to 25 years as a spore print in proper storage.

What is spore print?

Spore prints are a method of obtaining spores by placing a mushroom cap on a piece of tinfoil or paper to allow the cap to 'drop spores' as it finishes growing and producing them over a period of 24 hours or so. This allows the collector to save the spores or 'mushroom seeds' for as long as 25 years for later growing.

What classification is a mushroom?

A mushroom is the spore-bearing growth of a fungi. Consisting of a spore-bearing cap mounted on a stalk. This is a common name, and better is to use more descriptive names, as many of these fruiting bodies are extremely poisonous.


What is mushroom spore and give me the picture how it looks?

Sporulation is a form of asexual reproduction in mushrooms. Actually, mushroom spores are asexual bodies which can lie in dormant stage for a long period of time and germinate when exposed to favorable conditions. It is not possible to provide a picture of a mushroom spore as answers do not support pictures. Do a Google ImageSearch to get images of mushroom spores.
