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 .

∙ 10y agoYou cultivate mushroom spores by injecting them into a sterilized substrate material such as a mushroom spawn bag. This is used for edible species such as oyster, portobello, and other edible varieties.

∙ 11y agoIf you want to grow edible mushrooms, then you should get a book about it or find something trustworthy on the internet. Find some of Paul Stamets' mushroom-growing products. They work well and come with directions. See the related link.

∙ 10y agoIt is a fairly easy process if you know what your doing. The first step is to find a mushroom cap that has not hit horizontal and will be dropping spores soon. Cut off the cap at the stalk and place it on a sheet of tinfoil for 48 hours. The spores should drop onto the foil with no problem.

Spores require special handling for them to multiply. It is easiest to get them to germinate and grow in a liquid medium, or on Petri dishes.
I have a very simple recipe for a mushroom liquid culture that works for most edible species on my blog. It walks you through the process step by step. The page is about using purchased mushroom cultures but works for spores as well.

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 is the difference between spore makers and seed makers?
The difference between spore makers and seed makers is that seed makers are plants and spore makers are decomposers. For an example a mushroom is a decomposer and is a spore maker.
