Hi, not sure if this is allowed or not,couldnt read any where as to why not. Im new to cultivating shrooms and ive read lots of guides around the net and here and gone through many posts, but i cannot seem to find any informtion on buying spores within Australia.
Are there any suppliers within australia to order spores from? If not, how do other aussies get hold of their spores?
Thanks!

Try searching for the term 'australia'. There's a few threads on this subject. I can save you some time and tell you there are no spore shops in australia, but you can get spore prints mailed from overseas.

hi, i'm in the same boat as you! so far i've found nothing... but if you do let me know ...and i'll do the same
you could take the gamble of getting them from an overseas supplier but i dunno whether they would get through

the majority of those posts are a long time out of date. I haven't looked much into prints, but i heard generally they are harder to use and less productive?
I don't want to gamble and risk getting spores through customs.

then you'll have to find a private individual to sell, give or trade some to you. that you can't do here, untill you have been here long enough to access the market place forum, unless some kind aussie happens to see this and send you a private message about it.

i haven't seen any vendors inside au, i think its because while spore prints used as reference samples are legal, manufacturing them sure isn't.
prints are hardly inferior, syringes are more a convenience thing than anything imho
vendors although you could try one of the free spore rings

Hi I have not had a problem having syringes posted out to me from the states, and I live in Aus, NSW, and have also had my syringes checked by Aussie customs, and still not had a problem. Don't get your spores through Atoll, they are pricks, they take your money, I ordered a syringe from that company last year and they failed to deliver my goods. So be careful, I found EarthsTongue the best, even though they are not a sponsor here.

I ordered a print because I found numerous places stating that syringes are illegal but prints are okay. I ordered one from Spores101 (as I stated in the other thread) and it was only $35 all up

I understand, try EarthsTongue, I have found that they are the best to deal with, they have quality products, and a pleasure to do business with,I have some prints from my last grow, PC Aus, I can sent you a print if you like.

Yeah it only took 2 weeks. I made an LC from the print and turned it into 25 syringes (so far).

No, I just ordered it and it came. I think the postage cost was calculated in the checkout. I ordered the Z-strain (Golden Teacher) because it was the cheapest. It's a very good strain.
