- Instructions
-
-
To make spore prints, carefully remove the stems from the mushrooms. Expose the gills by using a knife (a parent's job) to trim back the lower edges of the caps.
-
Place the mushrooms on a sheet of paper and cover each one with an inverted glass. Let stand overnight. The mushrooms will release spores from their caps to create distinctive patterns.
-
Carefully lift first the glasses, then the mushrooms, to reveal the spore prints. To preserve the designs, coat with non-aerosol hair spray.
