Spore-print making box and method for field preparation of large fungal spore print by using same

Abstract

The invention discloses a spore-print making box, comprising a box body with an upper cover, wherein a fixed needle extending upwardly is arranged at the center of a supporting plate which is horizontally mounted in the box body; the center of spore print paper laid on the supporting plate is penetrated by the fixed needle; a supporting-plate-height adjusting assembly is arranged on a base plate in the box body; and a water-absorbing sponge layer is laid in the upper cover. The invention also discloses a method for field preparation of a large fungal spore print by using the spore-print makingbox. The spore-print making box is simple in structure and convenient to operate; a large fresh fungal sporophore acquired in the field can be immediately used for preparation of a spore print, the sporophore is fresh, the ejection rate of spores is high, and preparation of the spore print is short in time and good in effect. Since the fixed needle and the sponge layer are arranged in the spore-print making box, a cap is prevented from displacement during walking, and sterile water can be added into the sponge layer to guarantee humidity in the box so as to meet requirements of spore-print making; the spore-print making box is small in size and is convenient to carry at any time; and the spore-print making box is applicable to batch making of spore prints and suitable for field practice of students.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the production of spore prints, in particular to a spore print production box, and also relates to a method for making large fungal spore prints in the field by using the production box. Background technique [0002] The spore print is the research result of the Canadian scholar Buhler in 1922, that is, when the fruiting body of the basidiomycetes matures, the mushroom cap will open, and small water droplets will be secreted between the basidiospores and the small stalks. The spores are ejected from the small stalk quickly, and all the spores fall on the paper to form a unique pattern, which is the spore print. Because the shape and color of the spores of various basidiomycetes are different, and the size and shape of the gills are also different, so the spore print is one of the indispensable basis for identifying and identifying fungal specimens. [0003] Most of the large fungi that can make spore prints belong to the funga...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method is still carried out indoors, and it does not use fresh, intact fruiting bodies collected at the first time to make spore prints. The absorbent paper attached to the inner wall of the vessel is also easy to fall off and damage the spore prints. Therefore, use This method does not work well for creating spore prints
