Ive recently picked up this hobby too.
Identification can be tricky to say the least.

It's a great deal of fun - you would enjoy my series very much I think - nothing revolutionary , but a lot of fun. Actually there's a good amount of mushroom and mycology content on steemit, especially mixed in with the general nature content.
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. :)
