Ripe spores are needed for identification, but are often hard to find in squash preps or sections. Larger cap fungi can be spore-printed like toadstools. For smaller species hold a coverslip over the fruitbody and tickle the hymenium with a paintbrush or twist of paper and it will fire ripe spores onto the coverslip.
