 India scenario, spore print mails, and my inky cap bedspread!

Hey all,
I live in India, and coming by mushrooms is very hard. I have looked all over and cant find any. With the monsoon on full blast, the dairy farm areas seem like a good place, but also I wanted to look into getting spore prints.
Now apparently the laws in India regulate mushrooms, but spores should be no problem, as you can get by with the loopholes in the law. Unfortunately, I dont think I can get a package marked as containing psilocybes, so any suggestions as to vendors or personal references to anyone that could send me some spores via mail or DHL or something?
Oh, just a quick nothing. The other day, we had really heavy rains, and one of my mattresses in my house got wet coz it was next to a window. Closed the window, but the matress sprouted a few mushrooms with brown/black spores from the side a few days later. The mushrooms were almost past before I noticed them, so I dont know what they were, but the spore print is still on the window sill. I havent touched it yet. Ok now, I thought I found a tek somewhere about this, but can someone point me to where I can find something about using the waste cotton to grow mushrooms if I take my mattress apart?
I really would appreciate any feedback from you guys, it would really help.
Cheers
G.

hey,
I dont think pulling your matress apart for an unknown strain is a wise idea, but that's just my opinion. Also, if you order from the suppliers listed in the website, thier packaging is plain and has no indication of it's contents, so dont worry  goodluck.

All of the Shoomery vendors ship in discreet packaging. They might say 'microscopy samples' on the outside, nothing worse than that. So order with confidence!

Cotton will work okay, but not well, for novelty grows. There's enough livestock damn near anywhere in India for you to get either horse shit, or better yet straw.

Hey.
Thanks for the advice. Ill look into the vendors here. As for the stuff in my house, Ill up some pics of the mushrooms that came out since I posted.
I dont know what they are, slimy grey capped w/warts and white stem. Anyhow youll see.
I went to a couple cattle sheds and spoke to some farmers (They said thed call me whenever any kind of mushrooms crops up)
and there seems to be quite a few kinds of dung loving mushroom species around. Anyhow Ill upload pics of those when I get them.
Again, thanks. Ill keep you guys posted.
