Love the spore printing! How did you do that? Was it just ordinary black paper or special in some way?
Yes just lay them gill-side-down on black paper somewhere warm and dry for a couple of days. You might need to slice the stalk off to sit them on the paper. Most of the ones that we collected have white spores but you can get ones with dark spores too.
