I actually just completed my first spore print today.
No idea what kind of mushroom left this print, but, Ill try and figure it out.
Congrats! You're on the right track.
Taking spore prints is a basic step for mushroom identification.
Awesome! This is a very nice print - if you have more information about the original mushroom, some pictures and whatnot, we can make a stab at it!
Unfortunately, although a spore print can be the dispositive element in making an identification, it is not possible to reverse engineer an ID from a spore print alone. :)
