We all know about rinsing media of dust and other impurites, but should one rinse the dried LFS? Would that also wash away the so-called spores that lead to living LFS?
I do not think rinsing it will get rid of the spores... but as for the impurites I have never thought about that, but I think it would be near impossible to rinse the LFS with any cleaning effect.
I don't bother with it. I've also never had Sphagnum grow from spores in dried LFS. I've also never even seen any sporophytes, be it in dried LFS, in nature, or in culture. Only pictures.
Unless you're OCD about media, don't bother rinsing LFS. If you want live moss, don't waste your time hoping you get spores to germinate. Get some live moss, or trimmings, and grow it out yourself. It's pretty fast when it's in good conditions.
