spore opinion?

Hey, I'm fairly new at this. I've been reading up on this for the last few months. I grew up with a very odd infatuation with mushrooms. I got hooked when I found this site. I'm ready to get started growing but my last step is the spores. I considered finding some and making syringes from there. But there doesn't seem to be much of a chance of finding many mushrooms at all in missouri, let alone halucingenic ones.(or I just need some new spots to hunt) Anyway, there are so many different sites out there to buy spores. I have been to tons of them. I know there is no right way nescesarily, and it all depends on where you live, ect. But I was just wanted to hear what some of your opinions were as far as best buy for spores. And also if I should go with a spore print considering I live with a family and the box syringes come in are a lot more peculiar . Thanks.

All of the shroomery sponsors are great companies to do buisness with, and will get you your spores quickly, cheaply and discretely, whether you go with prints or syringes. http://www.shroomery.org/vendors.php
From my experience TLG shipped very fast, and have a product well worth the money.
But yeah, look around the sponsors, find the one with the best deal for what you want, and send in a money order (or however you want to pay) and get to growing

So, are you saying that you live with your parents?
As far as "Best Buys" i have found that TLG offers the best deals. free syringe with every order. Plus, he always has great weekend specials. I think I got 4 syringes for about $18 a few times.
If you live in a country where it is legal to cultivate hallucinogenic mushrooms, you might want to start with B+'s or EQ's. These are a very common starter strain. Colonize well, and fruit easily.
Some others to check out would be Brazilian's and Cambodians. These are EXTREMELY quick colonizers. I hear that Creeper is quick as well. Not sure what the fruiting characteristics of these strains are like though.

i've only dealt with fanaticus(way back when), TLG, and sporewoks. i thought sporeworks overcharged me, fanatcus is no longer around, and the little guy was perfect in every way. i also like how the Little guy guarantees you'll get them within 7 days( for us impatient type), and has a good selection (not to mention the dark days syringes).

My favorite's TLG, followed closely by Ralphster. For the first timer, Creepers are great choices -- they're ferocious colonizers and have very strong mycelial growth.

TLG's great -- between the service and the free syringes, you just can't beat 'em.

TLG and Ralph are great! www.ralphstersspores.com and www.tlgexpress.com
So are www.thehawkseye.com and www.sporeworks.com
I've heard great things about www.spores101.com as well.
Check 'em all, check out their deals in the sponsor's forum... many vendors give freebies with any order. Depending on the week, or month... you may want to go with one vendor over another because their particular deal suits your needs.

DONT GROW IF YOU LIVE WITH PARENTS!!!! THEY CAN LOSE THEIR HOME. SHROOMS ARE A GREAT HOBBY, BUT WAIT TILL U LIVE ON YOUR OWN OR FIND SOMEONE TO GROW THEM WITH (that has their own house)
