Not sure about giving Ebay logging in details to some untrusted site, can you vouch for this one?

Are you bidding on that brutha? If not I might do.
You sure he's not the seller whipping up frenzied interest amongst budding mush enthusiasts?    
Joking aside, great links and what sport

Levington's organic farmyard manure is a great UK product. I used this when I was in the UK last winter. During the winter time in England good manure is practically impossible to find. This product needs to be fluffed up with coir or vermiculite however. On its own mycelial growth is very slow because after hydration is becomes too thick.

Been quietly lurking this thread, some great links guys (made use of a couple  )it can feel a bit lonely amongst our American friends when it comes to discussion of supplies the good shit oh so cheap and readily available to them lucky blighters.
Now I've no interest in indoor cultivation only what grows in the wild; but it just so happens the woodlovers can be encouraged so on a tangent slightly I feel supplies for the Woodlovers can be bulked in here
Tried and failed to get the legendary Happy Frog Organic Soil containing symbiotic Mycorrhizae to mix with chips.
However found 'Levington Cactus Compost' to go with chips (cactus compost in line with the Waylit teks)which I hope after adding Mycorrhizae to will come close the Happy Frog.
Don't know if this stuff could be of you guys with such tough sterility controls but would be interesting to know
As project progresses will add items that proved to be usual........ presuming there is success one Autumn....
As long as it's ok with you guys

What about the paper trail, especially cross-borders and concealing delivery address etc precautions? PM if needs be (please), I'm a little unsure on best/safe methods

Anyone suggest the best/most reliable source for a mycobox and spore syringe from a UK site?
Paranoid type question - is it better to buy the mycobox from one site and the spore syringe from another? Otherwise it looks a little 'obvious' if you know what I mean.
micro-science looks the biz for mycobox n shit... if you can find a way for the site to load!
http://www.appliedmicroscience.co.uk/myco-farm/ -click BUY ME to access main site
Howabout potseeds.co.uk for spores, makes sense ordering from two different sites to me

Just an idea, it may be helpful if all the useful little links etc were added to the starting post continually to build up a reference point where everything is contained. A few times I have trawled back through page after page to find a certain titbit of info

Probably could have inoculated a 1000 jars with it lol. But yeah, I've seen syringes with no visible spores and they have performed ok though.
Was going to mention redeyefrog, notice they have have Azurescens syringes too

Big shit gone down with RB, I'd take maximum precautions hiding identity with orders, especially bulk. If bulk is advisable at all that is...

Yeah might be best giving a wide birth. If you're on the lookout though there are tons of piles of hardwood chips all round the countryside by the motorways and, more suitably, A-roads this time of year as roadside vegetation takes it's annual pruning or new junctions etc are being built. Some of these piles can be immense, I'm suprised I haven't crashed salivating about them

I've had success with the woodlovers with Chipsi Extra Reptile Bedding, made from beech and guaranteed fungus/mould free. Come in a variety of chips sizes which is useful.
I've also learnt the woodlovers colinise composted chips faster and have just discovered J Arthur Bowers Composted Bark, will report back as soon as know it really is suitable.
